2.9.6 Fallback Quarantine and Emergency Restoration In the event of suspected compromise, corruption, or unauthorized tampering, Clause Vault contents must be isolated in a cryptographic sandbox pending investigation. (a) Fellows and Civic Labs conduct forensic audits to identify breach points. (b) Approved backup images are restored to re-establish secure baseline operations. (c) NSF Tribunal oversight ensures legal accountability for any security lapse.

2.9.7 Integration with National Legal Archives Clause Vaults must be legally recognized as sovereign disaster governance repositories and integrated into national legal and civil registry systems. (a) Fellows coordinate with national archives and legal records offices to certify Clause Vault records as admissible evidence in national courts and UNCITRAL arbitration. (b) Civic Labs publish public snapshots of non-sensitive metadata for civic transparency.

2.9.8 Periodic Clause Vault Audits and Treaty Compliance Reviews Vaults must undergo biannual corridor council audits and annual treaty compliance checks by the NSF Legal Board and GRF Ethics Tribunal. (a) Fellows prepare comprehensive audit logs, breach reports, and security enhancement roadmaps. (b) Civic Labs document audit outcomes and ensure remediation actions are logged and publicly reported.

2.9.9 Public Trust and Community Oversight While raw clause data is secured, a summary ledger of active clauses, scenario UUIDs, and fallback DAG chains must be accessible to the public. (a) Civic Labs maintain user-friendly dashboards that explain which clauses are live, sunsetted, or quarantined. (b) Community councils and Indigenous governance boards may appoint observers to ensure the Vault aligns with local knowledge protection and cultural consent.

2.9.10 Sovereign Clause Vault Guarantee National Clause Vaults established under this NWG Fellowship Charter guarantee that every scenario, clause, fallback trigger, and insurance pathway remains legally protected, cryptographically secured, locally controlled, publicly auditable, and treaty-compliant for the entire Charter period and any future renewals.

2.10 National Legal Partners and Biannual Clause Audits

2.10.1 Mandatory Inclusion of Certified Legal Partners Each National Working Group (NWG) must formally invite accredited national legal partners—including disaster law practitioners, constitutional scholars, public policy attorneys, and Indigenous rights advocates—into its governance and oversight structure.
