Root acquisition closed, 9 September 2026. This lane examines published institutional design and advisory rules, not a claim that any participant controls the others. Government transition and actual Foundation constitution belong to the parallel packets.
[Next steps for a resilient Christchurch Call](http[local research file] 2023 Summit meeting paper: root read the complete main text, PDF pages 3–8; contents/cover and annex text also inspected. Annex geometry was not visually verified because screenshot retrieval failed. Reader access succeeded; original GET returned a 404 HTML page, retained as an error response.
The proposed change addressed limitations of a secretariat embedded in France and New Zealand: public-finance requirements complicated outside funding, global hiring and secondments. A separate legal entity would receive wider support and employ staff. The proposal divided corporate/financial oversight by a board from work-programme direction by Call Leaders; founding documents would determine appointments while preserving the founders' leadership. It also considered applying the model to related digital issues in the context of terrorist and violent extremist content. These were proposed arrangements, not the acquired constitution or proof that donor money purchased policy authority.
[Join the Call](http[local research file] root read the full substantive page, reader lines 14–53. It describes introductory engagement, written intent, an information response cleared by the applicant, confidential circulation and a community discussion, followed by a final decision by Call Leaders and a coordinated announcement. Leaders are described broadly: government, corporate, civil-society and partner-organisation leaders. The page does not disclose an electorate, quorum, voting formula, veto or rejection-appeal rule. The Secretariat convenes; participation alone is not final approval authority. Undated legacy-site reader snapshot; copyright 2026 is not a rule-adoption date. Ordinary GET returned 403, so current operation has not been independently confirmed.
[Current priorities page](http[local research file] attributes work to Call commitments and community-leader direction. Indexed substantive body read; direct reader failed and GET returned 403. This supports stated directional continuity, not an exact decision procedure.
[CCAN Terms of Reference](http[local research file] root read all 15 pages through the primary reader. Footer says last updated December 2025; the metadata title mentions 2026 and is not an adoption date. [Governance index](http[local research file] links these terms. Both original GETs returned 406, retained as errors.
Sections 3–7 put admissions, statements and internal decisions with a Core Committee of at most 25. It elects co-chairs. Modified consensus permits at most two blockers with two-thirds participation; a deadline exception permits a two-thirds vote. Internal meetings ordinarily exclude Foundation staff. Section 8 requests consultation and explanations for rejected feedback, not a general Foundation-policy veto. Section 9 reports Foundation funding; operational funds are held by a member organisation under an agreed memorandum. The Committee approves applications and fund-use rules. Section 10 provides Foundation review/feedback on amended terms, without an express approval veto. Section 3 requires government/company-funding disclosures above its threshold but keeps them within eligibility review. These rules create specific independence safeguards alongside dependence; actual compliance, funding amounts, fundholder identity and signed memorandum remain unverified.
[Foundation page](http[local research file] root read the full indexed substantive body. It describes convening and programme delivery, names Paul Ash as CEO, Andy George as deputy and Kristen Cambell as chief partnerships officer, and distinguishes patron/founder roles. Those are not a verified trustee roster or appointment instrument. Reader cache miss and one GET403 closed the original route.
[Funding page](http[local research file] root read indexed substantive body. It separates financial, ideas, delivery and community partnerships and asserts independence principles. It acknowledges Pivotal support via the Pivotal Leaders Fund, claims NGOsource equivalency determination and a European donation partner, but the available text omits funder-logo identities and the partner's name. No determination instrument, donation agreement or full linked principles was acquired. GET403 and reader failure closed this route.
The strongest supported structure is several interacting authorities: community leaders select priorities and entrants under published descriptions; a separate nonprofit supplies capacity; an advisory committee controls its own participation and speech while relying on financing and a fundholder. This is more precise than treating a supporter list as a board or a funding logo as an instruction right.
The governing Foundation deed, trustee appointments, funded-programme terms and CCAN fundholder memorandum are the most revealing missing instruments. Public rules make the latter a reasonable document-existence expectation, not proof of an executed agreement. No new branch is opened before the combined forest.
