Governance
How NAR is governed.
NAR is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Eight admins sit on the board; four of them are elected officers. Sensitive actions — removing an admin, mass-emailing registrants, changing the data-usage policy, amending the bylaws — require multiple signatures, recorded in an append-only audit log. Removal of an admin requires documented cause. The full bylaws are public.
6-minute walkthrough
How the system works.
A short walk through the mechanics — what happens between the moment an admin proposes an action and the moment it executes. Real screens. Real schema. No marketing.
Decision rules
How decisions get approved.
Each action has a written threshold encoded in software. The thresholds and the audit log apply equally to everyone, officer or not.
