Foundation Pack

The foundational artifacts for chartering and launching an AI Council, including charter, principles, roles, meetings, and escalation paths.

The Foundation Pack contains everything you need to formally establish an AI Council. These artifacts define who the council is, what it stands for, how it operates, and where decisions go when the council can't resolve them.

In This Section

  • Charter: A model charter defining the council's mission, scope, authority, and accountability
  • Principles: Aligning your council's values to international standards
  • Roles and Membership: Sponsor, chair, members, advisors, and champions
  • Meetings and Decisions: Cadence, quorum, agenda templates, decision rules, and minutes
  • Escalation Paths: What happens when the council can't decide, disagrees, or encounters a crisis

This pack draws on NCUA's data governance council charter, Collibra's operating roles model, Microsoft's council-and-champions structure, IBM's four-role governance model, and Yale's committee framework.
