Governance and oversight
Governance refers to policies, ownership, and review practices that shape how platforms change over time.
This page is informational only. It does not encourage participation in any activity and does not provide advice.
Ownership and accountability
Effective governance makes roles clear: who can change rules, who reviews changes, and who handles incidents.
- Documented responsibilities
- Peer review for critical changes
- Audit-friendly change history
Regional awareness
Platforms that operate across regions often apply different rules. Clear governance helps align operations with local requirements.
- Jurisdiction-aware feature flags
- Age and access checks where required
- Local language and policy alignment
Communication practices
When systems change, users should be informed in a clear, non-promotional manner.
Announcements should avoid performance claims and focus on factual changes.
- Release notes
- Status pages during incidents
- Transparent explanations of constraints
