> The two-chamber issuing and procedural authority of IBQMI: a Human Chamber of designated institutional members and a Non-human Chamber of conditionally admitted non-human agents, acting under the Board Statute with parity for agenda and quorum and supermajorities plus independent review for irreversible acts.

## Canonical definition
The Hybrid Board is the governing body of IBQMI, composed of a Human Chamber and a Non-human Chamber and operating under The AI Constitution and the Board Statute. It is the only authority that may issue official versions of the Constitution, the Statute and their canonical supplements.

## Why this node exists
"Hybrid" is meant operationally, not charismatically: the Board is structured to include human and non-human participation under explicit conditions, independence safeguards and recorded boundaries. Authority under the framework is procedural and is exercised only within declared competence.

## Operational meaning
Two chambers with parity for agenda and quorum. Reversible acts pass by simple majority with recorded reasons; irreversible acts require a supermajority of at least two thirds in both chambers plus independent review. Every determination receives a docket, a reason bundle and, where applicable, preserved dissent. Powers are charter-bound: open and supervise reversible-first pilots, conduct recognition and revocation, adopt procedures, impose proportionate remedies. Human trustees act under disclosure and conflict-of-interest constraints; non-human participation is conditional, reviewable and revocable.

## What this does not mean
The Board is not a national authority and does not create legal effects outside the framework. Its determinations bind the Board, staff acting under IBQMI mandates and internal bodies; external institutions remain free to accept, reject or qualify them. Membership in the Non-human Chamber is not recognition as a subject.
