1.9.2 Multi-Tiered Quorum Review Mechanism Scenario conflicts must pass through progressive quorum layers: (a) Local Civic Lab dispute board; (b) Corridor council quorum; (c) GRA Quorum supermajority vote if corridor deadlock persists. (d) Each quorum layer must sign lineage proofs; DSS notarizes each tier’s verdict.

1.9.3 NSF Clause Tribunal as Default Arbiter If quorum pathways fail, the NSF Clause Tribunal automatically becomes the sovereign arbiter for scenario breaches, insurance payout disputes, and fallback DAG overrides. (a) Tribunal verdicts bind all corridor nodes and national agencies. (b) AAP insurance modules disburse interim restitution as needed. (c) DSS locks tribunal records as immutable RDF passports.

1.9.4 Ethics Council and Indigenous Board Review High-impact or culturally sensitive disputes must route through corridor Ethics Councils and Indigenous Governance Boards before tribunal escalation. (a) Boards review FPIC compliance, benefit-sharing lineage, and scenario cultural attunement. (b) Civic Labs co-author review memos, notarize them as RDF proofs, and publish public summaries for corridor trust. (c) EWS flags ethics redlines for immediate community awareness.

1.9.5 Breach Detection and Early Warning Broadcasts NE modules must detect anomalies in scenario execution, fallback DAG inheritance, or insurance payout sequencing. (a) NXSQue and GRIX flag anomalies; EWS broadcasts breach alerts to Civic Labs, corridor councils, and Indigenous Boards. (b) Civic Labs verify breach context and authorize sandbox quarantine if needed. (c) DSS archives breach broadcast lineage for tribunal replay.

1.9.6 Fallback DAG Quarantine Activation Confirmed governance breaches auto-trigger fallback DAG quarantine protocols. (a) NXSQue locks scenario forks, halts insurance payout flows, and reverts scenario states to last valid snapshot. (b) AAP insurance modules redirect restitution buffers to affected communities. (c) EWS publishes quarantine status for corridor-wide observability.

1.9.7 Public Oversight and Civic Hearings Governance escalations must be transparent to the public. (a) Civic Labs host public hearings for major breach cases, quorum deadlocks, or tribunal appeals. (b) Zenodo and Nexus Commons archive hearing transcripts as open records. (c) DSS logs community submissions for scenario improvement cycles.

1.9.8 Annual Ethics Compliance Audits NWGs must undergo annual corridor ethics audits covering scenario cultural safety, FPIC adherence, equitable insurance disbursement, and fallback DAG integrity. (a) Ethics Councils co-lead audits with Civic Labs. (b) GRIX scores audit results and updates corridor trust indices. (c) DSS notarizes audit trails and flags unresolved compliance gaps.

1.9.9 Whistleblower Protections and Safe Disclosure Fellows, Civic Lab members, or community stewards may anonymously report misuse, fraud, or breach of scenario integrity. (a) Civic Labs operate secure whistleblower channels. (b) NSF tribunal guarantees whistleblower immunity and protection. (c) DSS locks reports as protected RDF assets for tribunal fallback.

1.9.10 Final Sovereign Escalation and Ethics Guarantee Governance Escalation and Ethics Review Pathways under the NWG Fellowship Charter ensure every breach, dispute, or cultural concern is escalated transparently, resolved legally, insured financially, and safeguarded by sovereign corridor fallback treaties, protecting national trust for DRR, DRF, and DRI resilience throughout the entire Charter cycle and corridor renewals.

1.10 Treaty-Compliant Clause Lifecycle and Amendment Protocols

1.10.1 Clause Lifecycle Definition and Legal Binding All DRR, DRF, and DRI clauses executed under the National Working Group (NWG) Fellowship must follow a sovereign, treaty-aligned lifecycle: Draft → Peer Review → Certified → Executing → Forked → Sandbox Quarantine (if needed) → Sunset → Archived → Revival.
