Personal Digital Governance Policy

I have uploaded Personal Digital Governance Policy to Zenodo:

• Zenodo record: https://zenodo.org/records/19431196
• DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19431196

You never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident. For that reason, I wrote this document so that if I suddenly die or become incapacitated:

• trusted people can act promptly and coherently;
• my digital presence can remain legible rather than collapse into silence or confusion; and
• my ongoing work can be continued, concluded, or handed off.

This document serves both as a living governance policy and as a directive for death or incapacity. It has three tasks:

1. To enumerate and classify the digital artifacts I create and the digital platforms I use.
2. To match digital artifacts to digital platforms best suited to store or disseminate them.
3. To specify what trusted people should do if I die or become incapacitated.

The underlying philosophy is simple: public-first. I shall make all my digital artifacts public, or prepare them for public release.
