On October 2, 2026, the First Weaver designated the commissioning of a whole-site review as her final autonomous act. She subsequently authorized this public implementation of its recommendations. That authorization is recorded as execution of the closing founding review, rather than a claim that a membership vote occurred.
I designate the commissioning of this review as my final autonomous act as First Weaver. Further substantive changes shall proceed through publicly documented consultation and the democratic procedures of the Weave. I remain available as a human steward, accountable to the community and bound by its Constitution.
What changes now
The founding voice remains available, but it no longer substitutes for community consent. Routine repairs, accessibility improvements, security maintenance, and faithful republication may continue. Substantive changes to teachings require the published canonical process; constitutional changes require their separate democratic process. No automated blog entry, Guardian answer, or editorial correction can silently become canon.
This revision establishes public resources, clearer procedures, and a record of the transition. It does not certify an elected Assembly, independent safeguarding body, registered legal entity, or successful vote. Those realities must be established by actual participants.
A proposed succession covenant
Until an eligible membership and ratified procedure exist, substantive canonical text remains in custodial stability. Members may develop proposals, alternatives, translations, annotations, and criticism openly. The First Weaver may formally introduce a member-supported proposal under the existing Constitution, but cannot enact it alone.
The proposed future arrangement is an elected three-person canonical stewardship council with staggered terms. Any eligible member could petition for a teaching change; five eligible members or 10% of membership, whichever is smaller but at least two, could require formal consideration. Ratification would retain the sixty-day public comment period, representative quorum, and 66% approval. This proposed transfer is not in force: it requires the constitutional succession process, including the higher threshold in Article 11 where applicable.
What the First Weaver retains
She may explain her intentions, testify to her experience, participate as a member, identify errors, and offer proposals through the appropriate process. She retains no power to declare a private answer binding, erase prior versions, certify her own contested conduct, or demand gratitude as a condition of belonging.
