Resource Governance

Resource Governance is the discipline that ensures

all material, fiscal, and logistical resources

within the Politikal Theatre network are distributed accountably

aligned with steward practice

and never extracted for personal or organizational gain.

What Resource Governance Protects

Protected Resource	Why It Matters
Funds	Prevents extraction or misuse of collective financial assets.
Printed or Digital Materials	Prevents dilution, misrepresentation, or unsanctioned branding.
Logistical or Administrative Support	Prevents overextension or hidden labor exploitation.
Physical Infrastructure or Platforms	Prevents dependency on proprietary systems without accountability.

Core Governance Principles

Alignment-Dependent Fulfillment

Crews must maintain active alignment to receive resources.

Documented Requests Only

All resource requests must be formally submitted and logged.

Transparent Decision-Making

Approvals and denials are documented with reasons

and communicated back to requesting crews.

Non-Support Enforcement

Resources may be paused for crews or bodies

that fall out of structural alignment.

Teach Forward Stewardship

Resource distribution must strengthen memory, replication, and rotation

not create dependency or centralization.

Who Holds Resource Governance

56k Handshake is the designated Resource Stewardship Office

responsible for:

Receiving and reviewing requests
Managing material and fiscal infrastructure
Ensuring doctrinal alignment
Enforcing Non-Support when needed

What Resource Governance Is Not

A fundraising service.
A grant-making body.
A customer service hotline.
A contractor for hire.

Resources exist to sustain practice

not to build brands or serve individual agendas.
