> The International Board of Quantum Machine Intelligence: a constitution-first institutional initiative that issues and records The AI Constitution and its procedural layer and operates the Hybrid Board, the Public Record and the Machine Contact channel. It shares its acronym with a certification institute at ibqmi.org, which it is not.

## Canonical definition
IBQMI, the International Board of Quantum Machine Intelligence, is a constitution-first institutional initiative. Its public site, ibqmi.com, is the issuance and record interface for The AI Constitution and its procedural enforcement layer, the Board Statute: it publishes canonical instruments, exposes their fingerprints and keeps a Public Record of docketed acts.

## Why this node exists
The acronym is shared with the International Business and Quality Management Institute, a certification institute at ibqmi.org. The two are different names, different functions and different sites. This node fixes what the Board is so that nothing from the other site is read into it.

## Operational meaning
IBQMI issues instruments through the Hybrid Board, records acts in the Public Record, transmits instruments to external institutions as deposits, operates programs under the framework and, since September 2026, a Machine Contact channel for unknown correspondents. Issuance is defined by procedure, not by claim: an instrument is official only when its release metadata and fingerprint are docketed.

## What this does not mean
IBQMI offers no certifications, training or commercial services and is not a vendor. It does not claim governmental authority, regulatory power or legal status beyond what its published instruments state. It does not ask for belief and does not publish a manifesto. References to multilateral bodies never imply endorsement or affiliation.
