Board and change control

Governance

How LMC standards are proposed, reviewed, versioned, certified, renewed, retired, and bridged into MSRX research records.

Governance model

Separate standards, certification, evidence, and research.

LMC is strongest when each function has a clear authority boundary. Standards define requirements. Certification applies them. Labs produce evidence. Registry publishes public state. MSRX archives research and formal research.

SAStandards Authority

Owns LMC module text, definitions, exposure classes, terminology, and acceptance rules.

CACertification Authority

Issues certificate state: review, active, renewed, suspended, retired, or failed.

EAEvidence Authority

Controls evidence record grammar, evidence seals, evidence classes, and review trail requirements.

LRLab Review

Qualifies lab capability claims and maps test evidence to specific LMC standards.

PRPublic Registry

Publishes public-safe certificate metadata and keeps registry records buyer-readable.

MRMSRX Bridge

Links research papers, standard rationale, theorem records, and public technical notes to MineSpace.us/MSRX.

Change control

No silent standard drift.

Proposal

Change request with reason, affected standard, affected certificate classes, and risk note.

Impact review

Customer impact, supplier impact, lab impact, renewal impact, MSRX citation impact.

Draft revision

New version text with public diff, effective date, and transition rules.

Publication

Updated standard, registry notice, certificate renewal rules, and research bridge.

Public cadence

Standards stay useful when change is visible.

LMC governance presents each change as a public state: proposed, under review, scheduled, active, transitional, or retired.

ProposedNeed identified

A supplier, lab, buyer, or mission team identifies a material gap.

ReviewImpact checked

The effect on existing certificates, labs, and procurement records is reviewed.

ScheduledEffective date set

Customers receive the date and transition window before the change applies.

ActiveCurrent rule

The standard version becomes the current reference for new certificates.

RetiredHistory preserved

Older versions remain citable for older certificate records.

Governance record

Create a change-control record.

Public change path

Standards improve through controlled public change.

Proposals can begin in LMC, connect to public research through MSRX, and return as versioned updates when evidence is strong enough.

Proposal

Submit a standard change, certificate class, lab capability, or registry rule.

Evidence

Attach sealed evidence records, lab data, or public MSRX research records.

Review

Separate standards authority, certification, evidence, registry, and lab review roles.

Release

Publish an effective version with public transition notes for customers.
