The Cardano Civics Committee exists to make sure Cardano's governance is accessible, fair, and transparent. We facilitate and oversee. Cardano's governance depends on work that nobody is obliged to do: the Constitution had to be consulted on, Constitutional Committee seats have to be refilled when they expire, tooling has to be maintained and paid for. We make sure that work has a mandate, a process, the people to do it, and someone seeing it through to the end. ## About the Civics Committee

Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://civicscommittee.docs.intersectmbo.org/about/readme.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
