GOVERNANCE IN FORMATION
§ 01 — THE PUBLIC MISSION
01
Learn without lock-in.
Education should build transferable judgment—not dependence on one engine, marketplace, school, or employer.
02
Prove skills through work.
GameForge is being built around demonstrated projects, reviewable competencies, and portable credentials rather than attendance alone.
03
Steward what builders share.
The Foundation maintains governance, identity standards, and mission-aligned infrastructure with public accountability as the system matures.
§ 02 — ONE INSTITUTION, THREE PUBLIC SURFACES
Know where you are.
Each domain has one responsibility. This site explains the institution and sends you to the place where the work happens.

§ 03 — PROGRAMS & RESPONSIBILITIES
What the Foundation is responsible for.
Status language is intentionally plain: active work is separated from work still being formed.
