Recurve

People break into small groups of 4-6 people to decide who should be their representative.

Those elected then group together again to elect from the representatives, and rounds continue until a winner is chosen.

Recurve is based on Fractally, a decentralized democracy system used to build consensus.

Recurve introduces two governance roles which are responsible for the governance of their region through the Localize system.

Representatives:

Elected by peers at weekly meetings (Level 6) and play a role in governance (House Rules and Procedures). Representatives within a region are ranked by the amount of weeks they were elected representative.

Chiefs: Elected at bi-annual Recurve elections and responsible for ratifying House Rules and Procedures. All Chiefs are also representatives, and only representatives are able to run for Chief. Chiefs may not begin campaigning, meaning they are not allowed to announce their candidacy until six months before the election. Once a chief has served their term, they are not eligible for the next election, but are eligible for elections after that.

A ritual where three already-verified people meet with someone who wants to get to Level 4. The prospect agrees on-video to uphold the rules of engagement, and proof is uploaded on-chain.

- Weekly Meetings

Share your contributions and achieve representative status of your region, country or all of Tetra in weekly Recurve meetings on Zoom.

- Elections

Each region country and Tetra itself has four Chiefs, the highest level of representative.

A new Chief is elected each 6 months, and serves for 2 years.

- Projects

Representatives (Level 7+) direct RA to projects. Projects produce deliverables. Deliverables are seasonal and rated by Project and the rep from 0-100.

- Council of Chiefs

Chiefs ratify procedures and house rules from representatives, and can also write their own. All 4 chiefs must vote to approve something, or 3 can approve with two sets of electors (two 3-1 votes, one before and after an election)

Chiefs can use their official title to lead and influence in any way they see fit.
