Governance
Transparency Portal
This portal publishes the operational artifacts that define how QIST work is governed, reviewed, approved, and (if necessary) revoked.
Official governance artifacts
The artifact is treated as the unit of value. Human-readable pages are provided for accessibility; the PDF is the citable institutional artifact.
Bylaws
UpcomingThis section will host the formal bylaws of the QIST Foundation, including governance processes, officer roles, committee structures, and decision-making procedures. It is currently a placeholder for future filings.
Institutional membership & affiliations
UpcomingPlaceholder for future guidance on institutional membership, affiliations, and formal relationships with universities, research institutes, and public-interest organizations.
Peer-review and publication decision authority
QIST publications are governed by an explicit protocol that defines review criteria, publication status flags, and decision authority.
QIST Peer-Review Protocol (v0.1)
Publication status flags
Every artifact is labeled as Reviewed, Unreviewed, or Superseded to prevent mixing drafts with stable specifications.
Publication authority & veto rules
- Unreviewed artifacts may be published by authorized editors for early community feedback with explicit status labeling.
- Reviewed artifacts require an approval decision recorded under the peer-review protocol.
- The Research Oversight Board may require revisions, reject a submission, or mark an artifact as retracted.
- The Governing Board retains institutional veto authority for publication, withdrawal, or reclassification where legal, safety, or governance constraints apply.
Institutional affiliations
Board members and Fellows are listed with their primary institutional affiliation and home institute link.
