Governance and Branding Guidelines of the Cosmopolitan Party and Coalition

Introduction

The Cosmopolitan Party stands as a beacon of fairness, neutrality, and inclusivity, rooted firmly in the principles of a fair constitution. This comprehensive document elucidates the governance structure, including the roles and election processes within the Board of Governors, and the significant impact of dues-paying members and employees on board composition. It further sheds light on the Cosmopolitan Coalition, a distinct initiative within the Cosmopolitan Party framework, and delineates the branding guidelines for both entities.

Governance Structure

The Cosmopolitan Party Foundation is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in the State of Delaware in the United States and is currently seeking recognition from the IRS to operate as a 501(c)(3). Its Articles of Incorporation are available at the Delaware Secretary of State’s website. It is governed by the Bylaws of the Cosmopolitan Party Foundation.

Founder

The founder, as the inaugural chair of the Cosmopolitan Party and Board of Governors, initially holds the authority to appoint the entire board. This power gradually diminishes as the number of dues-paying members and employees escalates. The founder retains the chair position until the establishment of a Global Cosmopolitan state or a 2/3 board vote for their removal.

Board of Governors

The Board of Governors, initially appointed by the founder, undergoes compositional changes as the party expands. This board is the linchpin for overseeing operations, making pivotal decisions, and ensuring the party’s steadfast adherence to its foundational principles.

Board Composition

At the Start: Entirely appointed by the founder.
At 100 Dues Paying Members: 10% board elected by members.
At 2000 Dues Paying Members: 50% board elected by members.
At 100 Employees: 10% board elected by employees.
At 2000 Employees: 50% board elected by employees.
