Metagov is a laboratory for digital governance. Our mission is to cultivate tools, practices, and communities that enable self-governance in the digital .


Details

Our vision

We are working toward a governance layer for the internet that is empowering, creative, interconnected, and accountable.

Our structure

Metagov’s activities occur through three mutually supporting pillars:

  • Community: The dynamic interplay among all participants, who develop vibrant and evolving collaborations through our shared spaces. At the base of this pillar is the Metagov Membership.
  • Research: The cutting-edge research that advances knowledge in support of our shared goals. At the base of this pillar are the Research Directors and their grant-funded projects.
  • Operations: A participatory approach to organizational infrastructure. At the base of this pillar is a commitment to transparency, accessibility, and to honoring the care work that goes into making the organization function.

Our values

Metagov’s core values include:

  • Openness: Our work is a commons. We seek to produce public goods that are widely available and accessible, and to operate in a way that is transparent to our stakeholders.
  • Inclusivity: Community is at the heart of Metagov’s work. We seek to cultivate a diverse and mutually supportive community of practice, which people can be part of at various levels of engagement and commitment.
  • Rigor: Metagov supports research that excels at the highest standards of scholarly and creative work. We prioritize accountability and ethics in relationship to the people and communities we study.
  • Experimentation: Online self-governance requires experimentation, and we seek to embody this spirit in everything we do, drawing on scientific, technical, artistic, and social forms of discovery.
