Before the club starts
Shared governance group, cultural authority and decision mandate.
Evidence pack, participant map, access support and conflict register.
Twelve-month action secretariat and resource commitments secured before launch.

Controls and safeguards
Sponsor visibility never buys agenda, speaker, procurement or action-selection control.
Respect cultural knowledge, Indigenous data sovereignty and attribution protocols where applicable.
CRITICAL — elite capture, cultural authority, sponsor influence, participation burden and unfunded promises require shared governance and long-tail delivery.
What to measure
Decision levers and affected voices represented.
Follow-up: Publish the approved portfolio within ten working days; issue quarterly public progress and hold an affected-community-led one-year review.
