From request to review
Identify the competent review route
For petition the union chambers, record the requester, location, scope and responsible receiving office. The receipt identifies the clock and competent jurisdiction.
Gate: Location and competence are recorded
Owner: Citizens Petition & Deliberation ForumPreserve the original record
Assess proposal text; reconcile it with public purpose and supporting community records. A missing document has an explicit alternative-evidence route rather than silent rejection.
Gate: Evidence is complete or an alternative is agreed
Owner: Citizens Petition & Deliberation ForumNotify parties with appropriate confidentiality
Ask Assembly of Citizens for the finding within its own powers. The consultation records the specific unresolved question, evidence version and requested response.
Gate: A specialist finding is recorded
Owner: Assembly of CitizensObtain an independent finding
Publish or privately communicate the resolution, including dissent and consent limits.
Gate: The stated safeguard is resolved
Owner: Democratic Governance CommissionCommunicate reasons and remedies
A registered petition with a reasoned institutional response route. The decision also names the accountable official role, effective event, conditions, review office and follow-up duties.
Gate: Reasons, conditions and review route are available
Owner: Citizens Petition & Deliberation ForumReview the finding and preserve access

Gate: Follow-up owner and record custody are named
Owner: Union Ombudsman
Exceptions and alternate routes
Required evidence is unavailable
Record the missing item and propose a witness, existing register reference or independently verified substitute. The completeness review remains open.
Interplanetary communication is interrupted
Record local receipt time and the delegated action available. Preserve a mirrored log for later reconciliation; do not invent a remote approval.
An adverse finding affects the requester
Provide the finding, allow a response, disclose the review route and preserve essential service continuity where applicable.
Institutional interfaces
Represents residents through population-based constituencies with safeguards for remote communities.
Represents chartered member polities, including artificial habitats and small-body communities.
Maintains democratic institutions, local autonomy and public participation.
Start the record
Prepare a requestThe assessment behind the stage diagram
The Forum checks admissibility, participation access and the appropriate receiving chamber or institution. The response addresses arguments and reservations rather than only participation volume.
The proposal, supporting argument and affected communities identify competence and public interest. A petition differs from an individual permit or court appeal.
Possible decisions and what follows
Registered and routed petition, reasoned response, deliberative programme or explained inadmissibility.
The public record tracks the receiving body, response commitments, dissent and any later policy instrument.
Duties after the finding
Keep the scope accurate
Tell the receiving office about a material change in location, activity, operator, record custodian or requested result. The original receipt remains in the history.
Respect source custody
Provide purpose-specific references and authorised representations. Personal, clinical, commercial and protected scientific records have different access scopes.
Respond to a qualified finding
Read the conditions and the institution that owns them. A request for further evidence identifies the specific unresolved issue and the route for an alternative.
Preserve the follow-up
The public record tracks the receiving body, response commitments, dissent and any later policy instrument.
Disagreement, assistance and evidence alternatives
A completeness query names the unresolved evidence and the alternative the receiving office can assess. An administrative complaint concerns service handling; a legal appeal concerns a finding and its competent remedy. A public petition asks a representative institution to examine a wider issue.
