00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,915
A context that stays in a gymnasium is a good meeting. A context
on the public record is a governing document.

2
00:00:06,195 --> 00:00:09,713
Here is the whole process, on the real site, at usaipa dot org.

3
00:00:10,262 --> 00:00:14,498
Registration happens on one page, and anything a county files is
public.

4
00:00:15,048 --> 00:00:19,603
Before the form there is a rule, and it is the rule that gives
the whole thing teeth.

5
00:00:19,883 --> 00:00:25,476
A higher level can only be filed when every level under it is
registered and has agreed to send representatives up.

6
00:00:25,756 --> 00:00:30,391
So a county cannot file over its own towns. The towns go first.

7
00:00:30,941 --> 00:00:37,178
Step one is a ten dollar filing fee. It covers steward review
and the permanent entry in the public record.

8
00:00:37,458 --> 00:00:43,375
The payment opens in a new tab and this page stays open. You
come back with the receipt reference and type it in here.

9
00:00:43,925 --> 00:00:49,357
Suppose the county tries to file straight away, before its towns
are in. The site stops it.

10
00:00:49,637 --> 00:00:54,512
Missing lower level, it says, and it tells you what is missing
and which level has to come first.

11
00:00:54,792 --> 00:00:59,827
That refusal is the proof that a county context is real, and not
three people with a website.

12
00:01:00,377 --> 00:01:05,168
So the work starts at the foundation level, city or town, which
needs only its own people.

13
00:01:05,448 --> 00:01:12,487
Place name, the county above it, the context itself, how many
people took part, and a contact email that never gets published.

14
00:01:12,766 --> 00:01:18,362
Bristol files. Then Hosford files. Every town under the county,
one at a time.

15
00:01:18,912 --> 00:01:24,189
Each town then records agreement, which is the vote to send
elected representatives to the county table.

16
00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:29,103
Without that record the county stays locked, and the page says
so in plain language.

17
00:01:29,653 --> 00:01:37,731
With every town in and every town agreed, the county files the same context fifty people wrote in the gymnasium, with the
signature count that says so.

18
00:01:38,011 --> 00:01:45,768
The page hands back a pre-filled steward filing email, and tells you the truth about the rest of it. Nothing is live until a
steward reviews it.

19
00:01:46,318 --> 00:01:53,755
The filing copy joins the public registry through a pull request anyone can read, and the county context sits above the towns
that made it possible.

20
00:01:54,035 --> 00:02:00,907
Signers, date, votes tracked. From here the county can be held
to its own words, by anybody who takes the trouble to look.

21
00:02:01,457 --> 00:02:07,855
That is the whole process. Three people started it, fifty
neighbors wrote it, and one page put it on the record.

22
00:02:08,135 --> 00:02:11,892
If your county wants one, the form is open right now at usaipa
dot org.
