7. Roles, Authority, and Stewardship

Participation in the iLEAD Codex operates across multiple levels:

• Voice: the ability to contribute ideas, questions, or commentary
• Influence: the ability to shape patterns, practices, and direction
• Authority: the responsibility to steward, validate, or ratify materials

These roles are intentionally differentiated and may be held by different individuals or groups at different times.

Authority within the Codex is earned, contextual, and revisable, not absolute or permanent.
