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.
