Open
L-8 · Terms of Service — websites and apps
For kiduna.team, kidunaverse.com, kiduna.club, the mobile app, and the web money surface. To determine: member vs. guest terms; the duna-operator relationship (each duna is its own legal entity — whose terms govern where); acceptable-use and agent-conduct provisions; dispute resolution and governing law (WV); how Terms interact with duna membership agreements. Status: stub — gathering requirements.
L-9 · Privacy — websites and apps
Privacy statements for the same surfaces. The product’s four access levels (public / private / secret / personal) are the backbone — the policy should describe what the system already enforces, especially the personal tier (member-and-ally only, ever). To determine: data collection minimums, processor relationships (Stripe, model providers, Telegram et al.), GDPR/CCPA posture for non-US members, retention and deletion mechanics against the graph’s Records. Status: stub — gathering requirements.
L-10 · Licensing of Kiduna Club IP by dunas
Each duna licenses the Kiduna Club IP (marks, patent-pending technology, the platform itself). Commercial frame to standardize: minimum monthly payments plus a percentage of Compute sales. To determine: the standard license agreement; what exactly is licensed (marks vs. tech vs. both); how the license interacts with the spin-out path (Alliance → Organization); termination and survival. Status: stub — structure with counsel.
L-11 · Fiscal sponsorship by KII
The Kinship Intelligence Institute (501(c)(3)) as fiscal sponsor for charitable-purpose dunas. To standardize: how a duna applies (eligibility, charitable-purpose fit, review) and the terms of the fiscal sponsorship agreement (funds handling, restricted-purpose accounting, reporting, administrative fee, term and exit). Initial sponsorships: Service Alliance · Mycelial Aid · BiHome/Inner Clinic. Status: stub — draft the standard application + agreement.
L-12 · Patents — provisional updates and new filings
Two motions: update the existing Kiduna/Kinship provisional application, and file a new provisional covering the new inventions. Candidate subject matter for the new filing (from the spec as of v4.7): the graph-service permission architecture (every command permission-checked centrally); duna commands with machine-generated receipt sentences; the decentralized registry + Kinship Code JWT claims (registration of domains, pages, and media artifacts); the Sentinel’s zero-point regulation model. Status: stub — inventory inventions with counsel; provisional clock in mind.
L-13 · Conflict-of-interest policy (from item 7 resolution)
Counsel’s extension of Institution recusal, adopted in direction: automatic recusal for financial, organizational, employment, family, or significant contractual interest; software-enforced; permanent disclosure of Institution affiliations, Organizer relationships, and paid engagements relevant to proposals. Remaining work: counsel drafts the association policy (portable to all dunas); the spec folds it into Protocol §2 and Foundation §6 once drafted. Status: open — drafting.
L-14 · Initial-purchase commission mitigation (from item 6 resolution)
Counsel flagged that commissions on the initial Compute purchase are the part to watch (everyone necessarily makes one) and suggested considering a limit or reduction if it materially improves the FTC analysis. Decision needed: keep the default schedule as adopted (20/5/3/2 on all Compute purchases including the initial), or carve the initial purchase down/out. Whatever is decided conforms the published schedule and all Organizer-facing materials. Status: open — awaiting counsel’s follow-up view + Moto’s call.
L-16 · Kinship Systems ↔︎ Lightbrush integration agreement
The first Institution integration (Institutions): Lightbrush LLC’s creative agent stack integrating into The Ceremony Machine, with Elias (Kinship Systems) as forward-deployed engineer at no cost to Lightbrush. Drafted as a short letter agreement per the 2026-07-10 call — all Lightbrush materials remain Lightbrush’s sole IP; Kinship Systems takes only the limited license needed to integrate; access is revocable and tools removable on request; distributions flow per the duna’s recorded configuration with no earnings promised (counsel’s Priority 3 rule). Status: drafted, on Drive — Moto reviews and sends to Moe; counsel eyes with the L-15 pass.
L-17 · Apache 2.0 release review
The stack ships open source August 10 (Protocol §1a). To confirm with counsel before release: license notices and file headers; contributor terms (DCO vs CLA); the code/marks split (Apache 2.0 code, Kiduna Club-licensed marks — a trademark policy so forks don’t carry the brand); how the patent grant in Apache 2.0 interacts with the provisionals (L-12); and export/compliance boilerplate. Status: stub — gathering with counsel.
L-15 · Final review
One end-to-end counsel pass over Legal (Track 9) — resolutions as implemented, messaging as published, build requirements as built — before launch. Status: open — scheduled before launch.
Resolved · 2026-07-09 — counsel’s responses to the brief (in priority order)
- L-5 → Priority 1 · Securities. Structure defensible; messaging decisive. Compute = “prepaid usage credits that power intelligent agents”; the avoid/always vocabulary is binding on every public surface; Founder = recognition only (cap of 1,000, gifts/swag fine), never framed as appreciation. → Legal §2, Priority 1
- L-3 → Priority 2 · Money transmission. No discretion, ever: instructions fixed before money arrives; no redirecting, holding, or arbitrary reversal; Stripe/Sphere remain the regulated movers. “Workflow software, not a financial intermediary” is now a design test. → Legal §2, Priority 2
- L-6 → Priority 3 · Organizer compensation. Stronger than most affiliate systems — commissions only on consumable Compute, never enrollment/governance/work/treasury/recruiting; earnings claims prohibited without statistics; initial-purchase question spun out as L-14. → Legal §2, Priority 3
- L-1 → Priority 4 · Worker classification. 1099 confirmed; independent commercial agreements stated plainly; the never-introduce list (schedules, reviews, titles, exclusivity, mandatory training, supervision); W-9/W-8 + automated 1099 pipeline required from day one; one classification everywhere. → Legal §2, Priority 4
- L-2 → Priority 5 · Trust accounting. Trust money is radioactive: IOLTA → matter ledger → disbursement authorization → operating treasury → splits; automation never touches funds in trust. → Legal §2, Priority 5
- L-4 → Priority 6 · Insurance (Lui Mutual). Three phases (mutual aid → limited benefits where permitted → licensed mutual); never marketed as insurance or implying guaranteed coverage before licensure. → Legal §2, Priority 6
- L-7 → Priority 7 · Recusal. Rule endorsed and generalized to full conflict-of-interest policy (software-enforced, permanently disclosed); drafting continues as L-13. → Legal §2, Priority 7
