Trust through clear responsibilities.

The proposed governance framework for membership, representation and review.

Recorded criteria, proportionate evidence, reasons for decisions and a route to seek review.

Truthful ownership and capability claims, declared conflicts and responsible conduct.

Recorded mandates, separated commercial interests and accessible feedback.

Decision boundaries

Decision	What it means
Membership	Admission to the Forum under its membership framework.
Supplier readiness	A review of evidence for a stated purpose, not an award guarantee.
Community mandate	Specific authority to represent documented views.
Partnership agreement	Separate terms agreed between authorised participants.

This prototype presents a proposed framework, not evidence of an appointed board or approved constitution.
