Josh WilcoxBelow is a list of declarations, or beliefs, that define the Crown community. As a member of the community, which you become by using the platform and software – you agree to be governed by, and to protect, these declarations. These statements are a starting point and are expected to evolve. We do not believe that one can create a community of value and use to humans without incorporating some agreed upon set of human values.
ORGANIZATION
-
We embrace all diversity except goal diversity.
-
The goals of Crown will evolve as Crown evolves, based on dialogs within the community.
-
Communication is impossible without a shared language and shared definitions.
-
Work is best done in small groups with common goals and shared language.
-
Core team membership is earned and maintained through service to the community.
PERSPECTIVE
-
Global solutions develop from local problems.
-
Human progress comes from human action.
-
We can only imagine our future if we have learned from our past.
-
The greatest acts are selfless.
GOVERNANCE
-
Commerce is sometimes private and sometimes public, neither is absolute.
-
Freedom of commerce is a fundamental right similar to freedom of speech.
-
Some commerce should be limited, but the bar should be a high one.
-
Limitations to human agency can only be justified if they expand human agency.
PURPOSE
-
Where rule of law exists, we respect it – and where it does not, we help create it.
-
Crown’s purpose is to enrich, empower and ennoble individual lives.
-
The value of Crown will come from its utility, but its legitimacy will come from the pursuit of, and adherence to these declarations.
