Ari-web, albeit mainly a single-person curated project by the Authoritative party, has multiple members separated into three authority layers: Authoritative Party (the party/-ies who make and finalize decisions as well as handling most of the project), Members (which may have the say in Authoritative Party's decisions as well as have volunteer responsibilities on the project), and Hosters (which may use or host services on Ari-web managed servers as per decision of the Authoritative Party). Ari-web, albeit mainly a single-person personal curated project by the Authoritative party, has multiple members separated into three authority layers: Authoritative Party (the party/-ies who make and finalize decisions as well as handling most of the project and dealing with accountability and enforceability of everything), Members (which may have the say in Authoritative Party's decisions as well as have volunteer responsibilities on the project), and Hosters (which may use or host services on Ari-web managed servers as per decision of the Authoritative Party, but don't have much say on the project, although, are considered more of a part in the collective due to the more sensitive nature of the data (like (un)managed hosting)).
Full list of the parties involved: It is also important to note that Ari-web is not a legally formed entity or organisation at any capacity; it is a small volunteer-driven non-profit collective of people who are doing their part in making the web a better place. We do not make any solid guarantees nor liability, accountability, or long-term sustainability claims due to the community-focused non corporate or legally formed nature of the project. We are just a bunch of well-intentioned people who are committed to open source, privacy, transparency, and democracy. For people - by people.
