🧭 NI Open Source Governance Escalation Log

Tracking structured feedback to improve transparency, trust, and governance resilience.

---

🧠 Why This Log Exists

This log is part of NI’s commitment to transparent, resilient open-source governance.
It gives contributors a trusted channel to surface friction, and gives NI visibility into policy signals that might otherwise go unseen.
Escalations are anonymized unless consent is given, and entries are triaged by the Program Manager to protect fairness, trust, and traceability.

📌 What’s Logged Here

This thread publicly logs governance-related escalations submitted via our structured form. It ensures community concerns are seen, categorized, and responded to—without requiring private email or insider access.

🧭 Risk Categories

Each log item is labeled by impact and urgency:

Risk Level	Meaning
🟢 Clarification Needed	Minor ambiguity or contributor misunderstanding
🟡 Policy Gap	Missing, outdated, or unclear governance surfaced by a contributor
🔴 Governance Breakdown	Contributor was blocked, denied, or harmed by unclear policy or process

These help NI prioritize policy refinement and highlight contributors' real-world needs.
