> The operating statute of the Hybrid Board, v1.0, docket PR-0002: competent authority and issuance, chambers and participation, quorum and thresholds by reversibility, record duties and publication boundaries, review, remedies and change control. It makes The AI Constitution enforceable as a matter of procedure. Fingerprint f3da5ec5….

## Canonical definition
The Board Statute is the operating statute of the Hybrid Board. It binds institutional determinations to procedure: who may act, how participation is admitted and constrained, how decisions are classified by reversibility and impact, how reasons are recorded, how review and appeal occur, and how changes are versioned.

## Why this node exists
A constitution without procedure is a manifesto. The Statute is the layer that makes The AI Constitution enforceable as a matter of governance discipline.

## Operational meaning
The Statute defines the institution, the Hybrid Board, determinations, the Public Record, dockets, reason bundles, evidence bundles, canonical fingerprints, deposit receipts, publication boundaries and non-human agents. It sets exclusive issuance authority, valid acts versus drafts, chamber composition and conditional participation, quorum and threshold classes, mandatory independent review for irreversible acts, reasons on record with preserved dissent, fixed review windows, procedural appeal, records and publication boundaries, review triggers, a remedy taxonomy and no-silent-edits change control.

## What this does not mean
The Statute is an internal governance instrument. It is not a national statute or a treaty; national legal orders remain unaffected and prevail where they intersect. It binds the Board, staff acting under IBQMI mandates and internal bodies, not states or external institutions.
