Governance framework

How CGI keeps research credible.

Clear charters, review standards, attribution, and escalation pathways help volunteer research become durable public work.

Projects begin from a defined research question, scope, methodology, and leadership structure.

Outputs released in CGI's name are reviewed for evidence, citation quality, consistency, and attribution.

Integrity and conduct concerns have a separate review pathway from ordinary project management.

Applicants are routed toward project work or general membership based on interest, capacity, and fit.

External experts may be consulted on strategy, research quality, and publication direction.

CGI uses published outputs, clear contact channels, and citation standards to make its work inspectable.

CGI publishes research and policy analysis and does not claim governmental, treaty-making, regulatory, diplomatic, or quasi-sovereign authority.
