The Formal Execution of NORFIAD's Founding Constitution: A Milestone in Governance

NORFIAD Constitution Executed 18 September 2025

On 18 September 2025, Founder Pavel Ovcharov formally executed and signed the NORFIAD Constitution, establishing the organisation's complete governance framework under English law. The document defines membership grades, voting thresholds, IP ownership principles, dispute resolution procedures, and the authority of the Council of Senior Partners. The Constitution is the supreme governing instrument of NORFIAD and is not amendable — any proposed alteration requires dissolution and refoundation of the organisation. Its execution marks NORFIAD's transition into a formally governed research network operating under binding, documented rules.
