Financial services institutions and corporations can apply for certification from the Global Commons Commission as either Provisional Members or Charter Members.
Certified institutions can advertise themselves as “Global Commons Certified,” with either Provisional or Charter membership.
Provisional Members
Provisional members from the financial service industry agree to provide financial products, and services, that contribute a small portion of transaction fees to the Global Commons Fund. They also agree to send emails to customers inviting them to participate in the proceedings of the Global Commons Commission. To the extent possible, provisional members also agree to modulate vendor risk profiles, and transaction fees, according to policy recommendations from the Global Commons Commission.
Corporate members outside the financial services industry agree to use one, or more, financial services accounts that are Global Commons Certified.
Contact us to review the Certification Agreement options for Provisional Members, and to apply for Certification.
Charter Members
Charter Members agree to operate all of their financial products with Global Commons Certification by updating their their corporate bylaws and corresponding bank charters.
Draft language for bylaws is available for both binding and non-binding agreements.
Those interested in applying for either Provisional or Charter Membership should contact us for more details.
