1. Purpose of the Advisory Board 

The Advisory Board of Celestial Point Inc. exists to provide mission‑aligned, process‑specific, and discipline‑expert advisory support to the Board of Directors, Officers, and executive leadership. The Advisory Board strengthens strategic judgment, governance integrity, operational resilience, and long‑cycle stewardship across a knowledge‑intensive, research‑driven enterprise. 

The Advisory Board does not exercise governing authority and does not bind the Corporation. 

 

2. Guiding Mission Alignment 

All advisory roles are explicitly aligned to the Corporation’s mission: 

To partner with local communities globally to pioneer multigenerational solutions that restore life systems, promote Indigenous resurgence and cultural survivance, and advance regenerative societies, economies, and environments. 

Advisory participation is grounded in: 

  • Respect for Indigenous sovereignty and co‑stewardship 

  • Regenerative, life‑cycle, and systems thinking 

  • Ethical, non‑extractive engagement 

  • Evidence‑based judgment under uncertainty 

 

3. Authority and Scope 

The Advisory Board operates in a non‑governing advisory capacity, except where specific advisors hold explicit fiduciary responsibilities related to intellectual property, revenue, or portfolio governance, as defined by Board resolution. 

Advisors may: 

  • Advise, analyze, interpret, and recommend 

  • Steward defined lifecycle phases across Operations 

  • Support promotion, fundraising, instruction, and office hours 

  • Escalate concerns through formal governance pathways 

Advisors may not: 

  • Vote on Board resolutions 

  • Direct staff or contractors 

  • Exercise unilateral authority over Officers, Committees, or the Board of Directors 

 

4. Structure of the Advisory Board 

The Advisory Board is structured by mission alignment and process stewardship, not hierarchy or prestige. 

4.1 Advisory Leadership 

  • Advisory Board Chair: Senior Project Advisor 
    (Mega Project Management · Offshore Project Management · ESG · Sustainable Development) 

4.2 Mission‑Aligned Lead Advisors 

Mission‑aligned Lead Advisors steward organizational processes across Operations domains, including: 

  • Community Partnership 

  • Pioneering Multigenerational Solutions 

  • Restoring Life Systems 

  • Indigenous Resurgence & Cultural Survivance 

  • Advancing Regenerative Societies, Economies & Environments

  • IP & Fiduciary Advisory Group 

  • Venture and Portfolio Review Groups 

 

5. Process Stewardship Model 

(Corrected and Locked) 

Advisory roles are not limited to a single process. Advisors are assigned explicit stewardship responsibility across one or more lifecycle phases, which may span multiple processes and multiple Operations domains, depending on subject‑matter expertise and mission alignment. 

Each advisory role is defined by: 

  • Clearly specified lifecycle phase(s) it stewards 

  • The Operations domain(s) in which that stewardship applies 

  • Identified internal customer(s) affected by that stewardship 

  • Formal escalation responsibilities and boundaries 

  • A 3–5 sentence role description clarifying scope and limits 

  • Explicit designation as a Mission Role or Temporary Placeholder, where applicable 

Process stewardship is distributed, overlapping by design, and intentionally interdisciplinary, reflecting the Corporation’s knowledge‑intensive operating model. No advisor is presumed to hold end‑to‑end ownership of an entire process unless explicitly designated by Board resolution. 

 

6. Escalation and Reporting 

Advisors shall escalate material concerns through defined pathways appropriate to scope: 

  • Operational risk, safety, or duty‑of‑care: RiskOps → Governance Committee 

  • Ethical, Indigenous rights, or legitimacy concerns: GovernanceOps → Advisory Chair → Board 

  • Research, data, or knowledge governance issues: RDLC → IP & Fiduciary Advisors 

  • Portfolio, venture, or capital allocation issues: Venture Studio → Full Board (as required) 

Escalation is advisory in nature and does not constitute directive authority. 

 

7. Intellectual Property and Fiduciary Responsibilities 

As a Research‑Development‑and‑Innovation‑Intensive Enterprise, Celestial Point Inc. assigns fiduciary advisory responsibilities to specific roles in relation to: 

  • Intellectual property creation and stewardship 

  • Knowledge protection, release, and restriction 

  • Licensing, monetization, and technology transfer 

  • Revenue integrity and portfolio sustainability 

Fiduciary responsibilities are role‑specific and do not extend to general corporate governance authority unless expressly granted. 

 

8. Term of Service 

Advisory Board members serve five (5)‑year terms, aligned to the organizational operating plan lifecycle, unless otherwise specified by Board resolution. 

Terms may be renewed, rotated, or concluded based on: 

  • Mission alignment 

  • Process stewardship needs 

  • Organizational evolution and scale 

 

9. Conduct and Accountability 

Advisors are expected to: 

  • Act with integrity, professionalism, and respect 

  • Disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest 

  • Uphold confidentiality and data‑stewardship obligations 

  • Respect governance boundaries and escalation pathways 

Failure to adhere to these expectations may result in removal. 

 

10. Amendment and Review 

This Charter may be amended by the Board of Directors as the Corporation evolves. Periodic review is expected to ensure continued alignment with mission, regulatory context, scale, and complexity.
