Settings — Pacific Islands Forum
Governance settings for this group. Values can be inherited from a parent group, or set here directly. A 🔒 badge means the setting is locked by an ancestor and cannot be changed at this level.
Membership policy
Who may join this group: anyone (open), after a decider approves (approval), or no one (closed).
This place has not been claimed yet, so membership is forced open. A policy can be set once someone claims the group.
Allow child-group privacy
Whether sub-groups may keep deliberations private from this group.
Current value:(not set)- Governed
Ordinary approval threshold
Governed (a fraction of cast votes): this value can only be changed through a group proposal, not edited directly. It is not yet read when tallying — ordinary proposals still pass by strict majority (Art 8.3) and the protected tiers use the platform thresholds.
Current value:(not set)Governed: this value can only be changed through a group proposal (enactment), not edited directly here. It is not yet read when tallying a vote.
- Advisory
Group quorum share (raise-only)
Advisory only (a fraction of weight). A group may raise its own quorum above the platform floor for its tier, never lower it. This value is recorded but NOT read when tallying a vote yet: a governed, binding raise-only quorum lever is planned but not yet active, because raising the bar must itself pass under the higher of the current and proposed quorum.
Current value:(not set)Advisory only: ordinary proposals pass by strict majority (Art 8.3), and the higher tiers use the platform thresholds — this value is not currently read when tallying a vote.
Who may create sub-groups
Anyone, members only, or role-holders only.
Current value:(not set)Constitution visibility
Whether the group's charter and governance configuration are publicly readable, or visible only to members.
Current value:(not set)Group visibility
How this group appears to non-members: public (listed and readable), charter-hidden (listed, but its charter stays members-only), or name-only (only the name is shown, all content is walled).
Current value:(not set)Fork policy
Who may fork this group: anyone, only its members, only role-holders, or nobody.
Current value:(not set)- Governed
Undo mechanism
Whether governance acts in this group can be undone through the undo mechanism. Unset means enabled — every group gets undo by default. Per-group enforcement of this setting is not yet built, so it currently has no effect; the root's undo is always guaranteed and can never be disabled.
Current value:(not set)Governed: this value can only be changed through a group proposal (enactment), not edited directly here. It is not yet read when tallying a vote.
Power inheritance — how authority flows to sub-groups
For each authority, choose whether it is held only by this group's own role-holders (direct), or also flows down from an ancestor group's role-holders (ancestry). These settings bind: they decide who can act here. An unset authority uses its default.
