The unyt.org project was born from the idea of creating a digital representation of the democratic world for the Internet.

In order to preserve the spirit of this vision and remain independent, we have decided to establish a democratic association to collectively manage the future of unyt.org:

Welcome to unyt.org demokratische freie Netzwerktechnologien e.V. (german law)!

Purpose

The purpose of the association is the development, organization and dissemination of a non-commercial democratic network standard DATEX, which provides the basis for secure and anonymous communication in the digital space. The association undertakes the development, maintenance and publication of free associated software solutions.

Non-profit status

The unyt.org project was born out of personal conviction and has the clear intention of establishing a free, democratic Internet - generating profit and maximizing profit are clearly contradictory to this goal. The unyt.org association therefore pursues exclusively non-profit purposes and is in no way designed for commercial use. However, the association can use funds generated by donations for the ideal and financial promotion of the association's purpose*.

Structure of the association

The unyt.org e.V. consists of the two organs Members' Assembly and Board of Directors. The general meeting takes place at least once a year and regularly elects a board of directors, which has the task of managing the association. The executive committee conducts the ongoing business of the association and represents it externally. All decisions discussed in the general meetings have to be decided by democratic majority.

From our point of view, an open source driven community project can only be managed fairly and purposefully by such a democratic construct.

Membership

Members can voluntarily take on a wide variety of activities within the association. In addition to development tasks, design, translations, participation in discussion groups, but also strategic topics such as planning meetings, advertisment, social media presence, budget calculations and participation in elections are important tasks that are distributed in the association.
Each member can actively take on tasks depending on availability and commitment, but does not necessarily have to do so. The membership fee for the unyt.org is 24€ per year and compensates the administrative costs.

Application

The admission to the association is to be requested via the form below stating the full name, the private email and the desired endpoint identifier. We reserve a global, unique endpoint identifier of your choice (at least 6 characters) on the Supranet. Upon receipt of your application, we will activate the identifier for your personal unyt.org account after an identity check.

The board of directors will decide on the admission of the member after receiving the application. Once the membership is accepted and the first fee is deposited, the official membership begins.
