Board

Board appointments are in progress. Our Board will bring together Emirati and Jewish members who share a public commitment to coexistence. Its job is to safeguard the platform's independence, standards and fairness, not to direct day-to-day editorial work. Members will serve in a personal capacity, and no one will appear here without explicit consent. The board welcomes respected voices who support peace, coexistence and facts: get in touch.

Board charter

1. Role. The Board upholds the mission and the editorial standards, oversees the corrections policy and funding disclosure, and hears serious complaints that are not resolved through the corrections process.
2. Composition. Eight seats, balanced between Emirati and Jewish members. Serving government officials may instead join a separate advisory council, so that the Board's independence is preserved.
3. Terms. Members serve two-year terms, renewable once. One-half of the seats rotate in alternate years to keep continuity.
4. Conflicts of interest. Members declare relevant roles, funding relationships and affiliations on appointment and annually, and the declarations are published. A member steps aside from any matter in which they have an interest.
5. Consent and representation. No one is listed, pictured or quoted as a member without their written consent. Members may withdraw at any time, and their profile is removed promptly.
6. No payment. Board service is currently unpaid. Any future expenses policy will be published.
7. Decisions. The Board acts by majority, with a quorum of five. Its decisions on complaints are summarised publicly.
