Instructions for participating in elections, appointments, and voting in the CITU system

1. 1. Basic concepts and package structure
2. Package — is a formalized document in the CITU system, which may represent: • A candidacy for a position. • Creation of a new position. • A rule, decision, or set of rules.
3. id (for example, LIBER8e5…) — a unique package identifier (hash of the content), always starts with LIBER. Voting is conducted based on this id.
4. The package name (Name of the Package) determines what you are voting for: • If it matches one of the predefined ones: - BOARD_OF_DIRECTORS - CORPORATE_COUNCIL_OF_REFEREES - GENERAL_EXECUTIVE_DIRECTOR → This means candidates for the corresponding standard position. • If it starts with ADD_DIRECTOR → This means the creation of a new unique position (for example, ADD_DIRECTOR_OF_MARKETING). • Any other name → This means a rule, law, decision, or their set.

8. Each public key may occupy only one seat in each body.
9. The General Executive Director (CEO) is appointed only by the Board of Directors.
10. Any other package name is a decision or rule adopted under the general voting system.
11. 3. How to determine the package type
12. Simple rule: • If the name is from the standard list (BOARD_OF_DIRECTORS, CORPORATE_COUNCIL_OF_REFEREES, GENERAL_EXECUTIVE_DIRECTOR), this is voting for a position. • If it starts with ADD_DIRECTOR_ — a new unique position is being created. • Any other name is a rule or decision.

15. 4. How to submit a candidacy or proposal
16. Submitting any package requires at least 0.01 CITU coin.
17. Steps to submit: Open the interface (Create position or Create a decision or rule). Fill in: • Sender Address — your public address. • Name of the Package of Laws: - For a standard position: select from the list BOARD_OF_DIRECTORS, CORPORATE_COUNCIL_OF_REFEREES, or GENERAL_EXECUTIVE_DIRECTOR. - For a new position: start with ADD_DIRECTOR_ (for example, ADD_DIRECTOR_OF_MARKETING). - For a rule: come up with any unique name. • Password (Private Key) — your private key (needed only to sign the package, never sent out). • Laws — enter the position name (if creating a position) or the text of the rule (if proposing a law). • Click Submit Created Position (or Submit Law, if it's a rule).
18. 5. How to vote
19. Find the required package (POSITION or RULE) via the menu or by its identifier.
20. In the package card, you will see the status of your vote: • YES — vote "for". • NO — vote "against". • Remove Voice — remove your vote (returns the status to "not voted").
21. Your voting weight = the total of all your coins (including those staked).
22. For one decision or position — only one state per address: "for", "against" or "not voted".
23. You can remove or change your vote at any time.
24. The vote is valid for 4 years from the package creation.
25. 6. Decision adoption and status dynamics
26. A decision/appointment is considered adopted if "for" votes amount to at least 52% of the directors' rating (or by similar logic for direct voting).
27. As soon as this threshold is lost (for example, if the composition of directors changes, coins are transferred, or 4 years pass) — the decision becomes inactive immediately.
28. If a participant sells coins — after 10 blocks, their vote disappears, and the new owner can vote as they wish.
29. If a director or referee loses their seat or status — all related decisions are automatically recalculated.
30. For new positions (ADD_DIRECTOR_*), only one participant with the highest rating is always appointed.
31. 7. Work of the referees (CORPORATE_COUNCIL_OF_REFEREES)
32. The council of referees includes 7 participants with the highest rating.
33. Referees vote on the principle of "one referee — one vote".
34. If 4 or more referees vote "against" — the decision is vetoed, even if it passed by votes of directors or participants.
35. Referees can remove the veto at any time, after which the decision becomes active again (if support again exceeds 52%).
36. Referees can block decisions that violate the charter, human rights, or contradict other adopted decisions.
37. 8. Appointment of the GENERAL_EXECUTIVE_DIRECTOR
38. Any participant can apply for this position.
39. The appointment takes place only by internal voting of the current directors (BOARD_OF_DIRECTORS).
40. When the "GENERAL_EXECUTIVE_DIRECTOR" package gains a majority among the directors — this candidate is considered appointed.
41. 9. Mining and voting
42. To participate in voting, you do not need to be a miner or validator — it is enough to own CITU coins.
43. The mining mechanism (PoW/PoS) and voting are not connected.
44. 10. Security
45. The private key is used only to sign the package.
46. The web interface works on your computer (localhost), the key never leaves the device.
47. It is recommended to use only your own computer and trusted software.
48. 11. Quick answers and FAQ on the interface
49. Select a Position — select the position you want to apply for.
50. Apply for Position — submit your application.
51. Create Law — create a new law or proposal.
52. YES / NO / Remove Voice — buttons for voting.
53. Not voted — you have not yet voted for this package.
54. id — the package identifier for searching and verifying the decision.
55. 12. Example situations and scenarios
56. Example 1: You want to become a director — submit a package named BOARD_OF_DIRECTORS. If you enter the top-5 by rating, you become a director.
57. Example 2: You create a new position — a package named ADD_DIRECTOR_OF_MARKETING, if your rating is the highest, you take this new position.
58. Example 3: You propose to change a rule — create a package named NEW_VOTING_RULES_2025, describe the change, all participants can vote.
59. Example 4: You sold coins, your vote loses power after 10 blocks, and the new owner can vote again.
60. Example 5: The decision collected 52%, but the composition of the directors changed — if the support drops below the threshold, the decision is automatically canceled.
61. 13. Important nuances
62. If the package name matches one of the predefined positions — this is a standard position.
63. If the name starts with ADD_DIRECTOR — this is a new unique position.
64. Everything else is rules and decisions.
65. The same public record (key) cannot occupy several seats in one body at the same time.
66. All packages and voting are valid for 4 years, then they need to be created again.
67. Quick reference for users
