Membership System

• Entry criteria
• Trial / probation
• Full membership
• Exit (voluntary & forced)

• Decision rights
• Resource access
• Contribution expectations

• Membership Agreement
• Exit & Separation Protocol

• INV-1.1 · No implicit membership
  Membership status must be explicit, documented, and mutually acknowledged.

• INV-1.2 · Entry and exit are always possible
  No member can be trapped indefinitely; exit paths must exist and be defined.

• INV-1.3 · Rights and obligations symmetry
  No rights without obligations, no obligations without corresponding rights.

• INV-1.4 · Due process for forced exit
  Removal of membership requires a predefined, documented process

MUST be explicit

• Membership states (trial, full, exited)
• Entry and exit processes
• Rights vs obligations
• Forced exit due process

Why: unclear membership is the #1 source of abuse and burnout.

MAY be explicit

• Contribution expectations per role
• Time commitments
• Behavioral norms

MUST remain optional

• Personality fit criteria
• Lifestyle choices
• Belief alignment (unless legally required)
