**6.1.1.3** The Terms of Reference shall not expand the National Leadership Council into a public authority, regulator, procurement body, finance actor, certification body, standards authority, community consent body, Indigenous consent body, National Consortium Company, Project SPV, emergency command body, public-warning body, or enterprise execution vehicle unless a separate lawful instrument expressly creates such authority outside this Charter and with appropriate legal competence.

**6.1.1.4** Adoption of the Terms of Reference shall be recorded.

**6.1.3.2** The Terms of Reference shall expressly preserve that the National Leadership Council may identify, review, recommend, coordinate, classify, prepare, route, and support renewal, but shall not exercise final governance, public authority, regulatory, procurement, finance, insurance, certification, standards-conformance, provider-selection, consent, public-warning, emergency-command, company, SPV, or execution authority by default.

### Summary

The National Leadership Council operates through recorded Terms of Reference, disciplined convening, structured deliberation, escalation pathways, and controlled records.

Its procedures protect national ownership, claims discipline, public-safe reporting, and correction. They do not create approval, public authority, finance, procurement, or execution by default.

### Next steps

1. Review [V. FUNCTIONS](/organization/cooperation/consortiums/gateways/national-councils/leadership/v.-functions.md) for the Council’s operational duties and limits.
2. Review [IV. BALANCE](/organization/cooperation/consortiums/gateways/national-councils/leadership/iv.-balance.md) for composition, representation, and anti-capture rules.
3. Review [XIII. CONFLICTS](/organization/cooperation/consortiums/gateways/national-councils/leadership/xiii.-conflicts.md) before applying leadership, meeting, or escalation procedures in sensitive cases.
