GSEIN-GOV-001 · DRAFT 0.1

Governance before scale

A global identifier earns trust through transparent rules, independent review, published conflicts, and a reliable correction process—not through the domain name alone.

NOW

Founding operator

Rawaas LLC funds and operates the foundation phase, publishes drafts, and maintains the technical registry.

Independent advisory council

Experts in registries, standards, law, data governance, and emerging markets review policy and methodology.

TARGET

Multi-stakeholder governance

Documented voting, term limits, public minutes, recusal rules, and representation across regions and sectors.

Trust controls

Rules that can be inspected and challenged.

Provenance by default

Public records identify the source, verification date, method, and confidence status. Restricted fields remain non-public.

Correction and appeal

Entities and third parties can submit documented corrections. Material disputes receive a reasoned, reviewable decision.

Conflicts and recusals

Reviewers disclose conflicts and do not decide records involving their employer, clients, investments, or close relations.

Change control

Material methodology changes are versioned, explained, consulted on, and accompanied by a migration plan.

Current disclosure

GSEIN is currently a Rawaas LLC initiative. Its governance council, accreditation model, data licence, fee policy, and formal standards-registration route remain proposals and must be adopted through published instruments before being represented as operational.
