# LEGACY // Why ?

![Why ?](/files/-MfD_Dkl6p_t5DIzVpMs)

For a distributed community to be sustainable it must define how it governs itself clearly and transparently.

At first, we will steward SecretDecks towards this goal by building a tool set that:

* Will formalise an egalitarian, merit-based decision-making process.
* Will build pathways that resolve conflict through consensus.
* Will ensure that our humanity is not obscured by automation.
* Will allow for iteration and evolution.
