Trust & governance
OVAIC exists to make AI claims and decisions independently checkable. Its own governance follows the same rule: who is a member, who decides and who is connected to whom is public.
Members
Every member has one vote, whatever its size or fee.

How decisions are made
- Every member has one vote. Voting rights never depend on the fee.
- A member does not vote on results that concern its own method or product.
- The General Assembly elects the Board. Between assemblies the members may decide by a written resolution of all members (Art. 66 of the Swiss Civil Code).
- By the first ordinary General Assembly, a majority of the Board comes from organisations independent of the initiator (Art. 26 of the statutes).
Disclosed relationships
Dr. Alex Konviser является президентом Gravit Open Network Foundation, инициатора, и занимал должности в TON Provider. ImpulseOne GmbH не связана с инициатором. Согласно ст. 26 устава, к первому очередному Общему собранию большинство правления будет из организаций, независимых от инициатора.
