The Founding Coalition
The GliaNet Alliance shouldn't exist — at least according to the prevailing business model of the Web. An era built on surveillance, extraction, and behavioral manipulation leaves little room for a different approach. And yet, here we are.
The principle uniting the twenty-some companies that founded the Alliance is simple: authentic, trust-based relationships with the people you serve — as customers, clients, and patrons — are not just the right thing to build. They are the best way to do business.
Members of the GliaNet Alliance agree to:
Acknowledge the Web's prevailing commercial paradigm of end-user surveillance, data extraction, and behavioral manipulation;
Embrace ethical business practices built on human-centric, trustworthy, and mutually beneficial relationships with clients, customers, and patrons;
Commit to exploring and applying corporate governance grounded in fiduciary duties of care, fidelity, and loyalty;
Collaborate with like-minded companies and stakeholders in a coalition of the willing for edge-empowering technologies;
Design professional codes of conduct and best practices, advance the five-tier certification pathway, and develop supportive public policy positions;
Publicly endorse their voluntary involvement in the Alliance and its activities.
