Digital World Legislation tracks the laws, policies, and governance proposals shaping the Digital World network, and how they apply alongside applicable public law.
The draft legislation represents the evolving ideas and proposals created and reviewed by the Digital World Councils. These drafts are open for discussion, feedback, and refinement to ensure they reflect the collective will of the people. Every Council member has the opportunity to contribute, debate, and shape these proposals before they are finalized.
All drafts are publicly accessible, ensuring full visibility into the legislative process.
Councils work together to propose amendments, suggest improvements, and engage in constructive dialogue.
Every voice within the Council matters, and all contributions are considered equally, regardless of expertise or background.
Drafts undergo multiple rounds of review and voting within the Councils to ensure they align with the shared values and priorities of the Digital World.
Drafts are open for review, discussion, and community participation before publication.
A proposal describing how members can manage and control their own personal data within Digital World.
A draft describing the structure and process for council-driven decision-making.
A proposal on environmentally-conscious practices for Digital World's technical infrastructure.
Published governance standards represent decisions made by Digital World Councils after the governance review process. These are Digital World's own standards and guidance - they are not government laws and do not replace public legal systems.
Each published standard has gone through a review and approval process within the relevant councils.
Published standards are documented and version-tracked, so members can see what was approved and when.
Standards can be revisited and updated as Digital World's needs evolve, through the same council-driven process.
These are examples of governance documents, not national legislation.
