Foundation Pack
Foundation Pack
The foundational artifacts for chartering and launching an AI Council, including charter, principles, roles, meetings, and escalation paths.
The Foundation Pack covers the core artifacts for formally establishing an AI Council. These artifacts define who the council is, what it stands for, how it operates, and where decisions go when the council can't resolve them.
In This Section
- Charter: A model charter defining the council's mission, scope, authority, and accountability
- Principles: Aligning your council's values to international standards
- Roles and Membership: Sponsor, chair, members, advisors, and champions
- Resourcing and Budget: FTE estimates and tooling needs at each maturity stage
- Meetings and Decisions: Cadence, quorum, agenda templates, decision rules, and minutes
- Escalation Paths: What happens when the council can't decide, disagrees, or encounters a crisis
