  • Value [1] Government of, by, and for the people
    • Anyone may contribute to any open source governance structure. Significant efforts will be made to enfranchise those who are unable to contribute to an administration. Efforts will include conducting regular public meetings and promoting dissemination of internet-access technologies (such as the OLPC project).

  • Value [2] Openness in everything
    • All aspects of governance will be as open as possible, under the principle of radical transparency. All software and systems used to run administrations will be free, open source software and systems.

  • Value [3] Without consensus, there is no law
    • Unless consensus can be reached on how a policy could address an issue, then there will be no policy on that issue.

  • Value [4] Consensus through synthesis
    • When opposing views are presented, preference is always given to synthesis rather than either conflict or compromise.
