🏛 The Global Public Trust (GPT)
Custodian of the World Dollar and Earth Credit Systems
1️⃣ Purpose
The GPT is a non-sovereign fiduciary institution whose sole mandate is to manage planetary value systems in the public interest.
It issues and retires Earth Credits, safeguards the World Dollar reserves, and ensures that both systems operate according to measurable wellbeing, sustainability, and fairness metrics.
It is not a central bank, not a corporation, and not a UN agency.
It is a public trust—a legal structure designed to protect humanity’s shared assets the same way environmental trusts protect endangered lands.
2️⃣ Founding & Legal Basis
- Established through a multilateral treaty among nations, municipalities, and civil-society coalitions.
- Chartered to act as an independent fiduciary, bound by constitutional principles (Dignity, Fairness, Sustainability, Distributed Power, Transparency, Adaptive Learning).
- Registered as a Permanent Global Trust with regional sub-trusts (e.g., Americas Trust, Euro-Africa Trust, Indo-Pacific Trust) federated under one constitutional charter.
3️⃣ Governance Structure
A transparent, multi-chamber design balances technocratic competence with democratic legitimacy:
| Chamber | Function | Composition | Voting Weight |
| Stewardship Council | Sets long-term policy, risk appetite, issuance limits | 30 members drawn from signatory states & regional unions | 40% |
| Citizen Assembly | Global randomly-selected citizens’ panel (sortition) reviewing budgets, audits, and ethics | 1,000 participants rotated annually | 25% |
| Scientific & Technical Board | Oversees MRV standards, algorithms, and protocol updates | Experts from academia, standards bodies, and AI institutions | 20% |
| Audit & Ethics Tribunal | Independent oversight with investigative authority | 9 members appointed by civil-society consortiums | 10% |
| Secretariat (Operations) | Executes daily issuance, treasury, and digital infrastructure | CEO-equivalent Director + 7 deputies | Non-voting |
All decisions are block-recorded and publicly visible, with AI-assisted plain-language summaries.
4️⃣ Checks & Balances
- Multi-signature control: any issuance of World Dollars or Earth Credits requires 3-of-4 chamber approvals plus automated validation by the ledger protocol.
- Public algorithms: monetary and issuance policies are open source and peer-reviewed annually.
- Rotating leadership: maximum 6-year terms; geographic and gender parity enforced.
- Whistleblower protections & bounty system for detecting fraud, double-counting, or collusion.
- Automatic transparency: all financial statements, vote records, and algorithm updates published to a public dashboard in real time.
5️⃣ Funding
GPT operations are funded through:
- A 0.05–0.10% protocol fee on World Dollar conversions and Earth Credit redemptions.
- Voluntary member contributions and philanthropic endowments.
- Occasional issuance of Trust Bonds (guaranteed by EC revenue streams) for major infrastructure upgrades.
The Trust’s budget is capped by rule: administrative overhead cannot exceed 2% of annual flows through the system.
6️⃣ Accountability & Recourse
- Citizens, companies, or states may file Petitions for Review if they believe GPT actions violate its charter.
- The Ethics Tribunal must respond within 90 days, and rulings are binding unless overturned by a two-thirds supermajority of the Stewardship Council and Citizen Assembly combined.
- Annual Trust Scorecard evaluates:
- Audit integrity
- Distributional fairness of EC issuance
- Environmental outcomes per EC
- Public trust index (citizen survey)
Failure to maintain thresholds triggers automatic elections or re-chartering procedures.
7️⃣ Relationship to Governments & Markets
- GPT does not replace national currencies or fiscal sovereignty.
- It operates alongside central banks — a meta-layer for essentials and global stability, not a competitor.
- Corporations and states interact with GPT through treaty obligations and compliance instruments, not monetary policy.
- All GPT datasets (issuance, outcomes, reserves) remain open for public, academic, and journalistic analysis.
8️⃣ Evolution Path
- Interim GPT (Years 0–2): housed within a consortium of existing global bodies (World Bank, UNDP, BIS Innovation Hub) to provide initial legal and technical scaffolding.
- Independent GPT (Years 2–5): legally incorporated under the Global Trust Charter, with its own citizen assembly and open-source tech stack.
- Federated GPT (Years 5–10): fully decentralized operational model with regional sub-trusts and AI-assisted governance dashboards.
9️⃣ Design Philosophy
The Global Public Trust should function like the planet’s fiduciary accountant — independent, transparent, limited in scope, and impossible to privately own.
Its power lies not in controlling money but in ensuring that all value systems remain anchored to reality, data, and shared human purpose.
