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.
