About Sovereignty
Sovereignty is autonomy. It is a self governing state that is free from external control.
Sovereignty occurs when a culture or community acquires the ability of self-determination. This leads to 3 types of FUNDAMENTAL UNITY:
​
-
Unity of Identity – “we know who we are now, collectively”
-
Unity of History – “we know where we come from, as a community”
-
Unity of Purpose – “we agree on what we want to accomplish, together”
These three types of unity are only achieved after a culture clearly establishes these CORNERSTONES:
-
Integrity – “we are precisely who we say we are, and act exactly as we say we will, always”
-
Autonomy – “we are capable of meeting our own needs, either by exploiting our own resources or by making fair trades with other cultures for their resources”
-
Boundary – “we definitively know who is ‘in’ our cultural region and who is ‘out’ (“entrance”), as well as who is a ‘member’/’citizen’ and who is a ‘guest’ (“citizenship”), and have the ability to control transitions of both entrance and citizenship”
Sequorum strengthens all 3 of the sovereignty cornerstones by:
-
Building customized, community-owned high speed telecommunication networks
-
Creating fully customized, high-performance information management infrastructures
-
Consulting and co-creating with the community, information governance plans
-
Facilitating on-going training and adoption of the all the above by administrators and citizens
