II. Governance

2.1 Role Classes: Fellows, Stewards, Architects, DAO Delegates

2.1.1 The Nexus Fellowship Charter codifies four sovereign-grade contributor roles—Fellows, Stewards, Architects, and DAO Delegates—each assigned simulation-verifiable functions, RDF-encoded metadata, clause-specific mandates, and interoperable legal standing across all Nexus corridors. These roles are foundational to the layered governance architecture of the Fellowship and are designed to support auditable, multijurisdictional contribution at scale.

2.1.2 Role classification and onboarding shall follow a clause-native, DAG-indexed verification process: (a) zkID issuance with biometric pseudonymization, corridor-of-residency attestation, and TEE-secured identity hash; (b) Track-aligned onboarding declarations, linked to simulation DAG checkpoints and contributor metadata graphs; (c) SPDX license registration, clause anchor fingerprinting, and smart contract–bound contribution scoping; (d) Multisig approval quorum by local corridor observatories and delegated Stewards, recorded on NSLR.

2.1.3 Fellows shall: (a) Act as sovereign-track contributors operating across any of the five Nexus Tracks (Research, DevOps, Media, Policy, NWG); (b) Be onboarded as independent contractors under clause-based, indemnified frameworks compliant with ICMA and Clause 1.3; (c) Be empowered to initiate clause bundles, run simulations, submit proposals, and engage in bounty or hackathon cycles; (d) Be issued Nexus Fellowship Passports with cryptographic credentials, role metadata, and RDF-linked licensing schemas for recognition across Tracks and corridors.

2.1.4 Stewards shall: (a) Serve as operational validators within their Tracks, responsible for simulation DAG certification, peer reputation review, and ethical observability; (b) Possess emergency override rights, redline flag initiation authority, and clause audit initiation triggers under Clause 2.6; (c) Be bound by corridor-specific governance dashboards, NSOL-tracked activity logs, and simulation lineage integrity attestations; (d) Uphold compliance with NSF clause certification policies, RDF/SPDX equivalence checks, and corridor arbitration mandates.

2.1.10 This clause confirms that Nexus Fellowship role governance is legally enshrined, technically enforced, and ethically monitored. Each contributor operates under sovereign-grade clause architecture that links simulation performance to legal immunity, governance accountability, and corridor-based observability, guaranteeing enforceable role-based participation across the global Nexus federation.

2.2 Fellowship Lifecycle: Onboarding → Contribution → Elevation → Graduation

2.2.1 The Nexus Fellowship lifecycle shall be governed by a sovereign-grade, clause-verifiable protocol encompassing four interdependent phases: Onboarding, Contribution, Elevation, and Graduation. Each phase shall be DAG-simulated, RDF-indexed, SPDX-traceable, and cryptographically anchored in the Nexus Sovereign Ledger Registry (NSLR). These lifecycle transitions shall be managed through the Nexus Observatory Protocol (NOP) and enforced by DAO quorum governance with escalation fallback to GRF/NSF panels.

2.2.2 The Onboarding phase shall comprise: (a) zkID issuance, incorporating TEE-based identity sealing, zero-knowledge credential proofs, and corridor-based residency verification under NXS-DSS; (b) Execution of sovereign-grade contributor agreements conforming to Clause 1.3, ICMA protocols, and UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Transferable Records; (c) SPDX/NCLP fingerprinting and IP attribution schema registration, scoped by Track and Nexus module (NXSCore, NXSQue, NXS-EOP); (d) Activation of DAG-simulated participation nodes via NXS-AAP orchestration, signed by corridor-aligned Stewards and indexed in RDF/NSLR with clause-linked provenance; (e) Default insurance wallet assignment and safety coverage initialized by NSF-compliant modules for liability protection.

2.2.3 The Contribution phase shall include: (a) Submission of simulation-authored deliverables (e.g., clause bundles, DAG modules, foresight protocols, RDF ontologies) with execution verified through zkML checkpoints; (b) Contributor performance scorecards—peer-reviewed, ethics-logged, and simulation-audited—anchored to DAG lineage and committed to NSLR; (c) Continuous observability logging via NSOL and NOP dashboards, tied to Contributor Risk Ledger updates and corridor ethics panel review; (d) Participation in mission-critical deployments (e.g., bounties, corridor pilots, redline simulations) with provenance-locked SPDX publication; (e) License renewal notifications or mutation triggers linked to Track-specific simulation results.

2.2.8 Graduation shall not terminate clause ownership or attribution. Clause authorship metadata, RDF-linked contribution graphs, and SPDX license anchoring shall persist indefinitely across all Nexus Track Libraries, NSLR registries, and GRF-governed public archives.
