Non-Support is the structural boundary used to pause or end network support for a crew, department, or body that falls out of alignment with the Code of Practice or Steward Logic.
Non-Support:
- Ends access to shared infrastructure and resources.
- Removes listing from active crew directories.
- Pauses or ends formal relationship with the wider network.
Non-Support is not excommunication or erasure.
It is a structural boundary, not a personal attack.
When Non-Support Is Applied
- When a crew fails to rotate roles or collapses into hierarchy.
- When a crew stops producing Memory Kits or documentation.
- When care, accountability, or ethical commitments are broken.
- When a crew misuses the method for personal or financial gain.
- When credible harm reports are left unaddressed.
What Non-Support Does
Pauses Access To | What It Protects |
Verification status | Protects the meaning of verified practice. |
Shared resources (funds, training) | Prevents resource misuse or extraction. |
Official crew directories | Maintains structural integrity and clarity. |
Public endorsements | Ensures the method is not misrepresented. |
What Non-Support Is Not
- A personal attack or blacklist.
- A public shaming or smear campaign.
- A declaration of enemy status.
Crews may continue to organize independently
but without formal network support.
Restoring Support
Crews may request review through the Doctrine Jury Protocol
to restore support if alignment is re-established.
Non-Support Self-Check
[ ] Has the crew failed to meet structural requirements?[ ] Has the reason for non-support been documented?[ ] Has the crew been notified with a clear path to return?[ ] Has a public summary of the decision been made available?
If you check all four
non-support has been applied with transparency.
