(Based on the AI Internet‑Meritocracy Model — AIIM) Please note, that International Meritocratic Innovation Organization is a separate organization from World Science DAO, despite they both work for a common purpose.

PREAMBLE
The Governments signing this Treaty,
Recognizing the urgent global need for transparent, efficient, equitable mechanisms to fund scientific research, technological innovation, and public‑benefit knowledge creation,
Acknowledging the shortcomings of traditional funding systems — including slow approval cycles, political distortions, and barriers facing independent researchers,
Affirming that emerging technologies, including AI‑based meritocratic funding algorithms, create the opportunity for an impartial, data‑driven global innovation infrastructure,
Desiring to promote economic growth, raise global research productivity, and accelerate high‑impact scientific discoveries,
Agree to establish the International Meritocratic Innovation Organization (INO) based on the principles and technical infrastructure of AIIM (AI Internet‑Meritocracy).
The definitive version of this document is in English.
CHAPTER I — ESTABLISHMENT AND MISSION
Article 1 — Establishment of the INO
- By this Treaty the Parties establish the International Meritocratic Innovation Organization (INO).
- INO is an international, intergovernmental organization with legal personality and the capacity to enter into agreements with states, UN agencies, and private institutions.
Article 2 — Mission
The mission of the INO is:
- To operate and promote an algorithmic, impartial, transparent global innovation funding mechanism based on AIIM.
- To support scientific researchers, innovators, and builders regardless of nationality, degree status, institutional affiliation, or social position.
- To accelerate global progress in science, technology, education, health, environment, and digital economics.
- To ensure that discoveries and innovations of global importance receive recognition, funding, and dissemination.
- To assist member states in integrating meritocratic innovation funding into national policy.
CHAPTER II — TEMPORARY STRUCTURE AND FINANCIAL CUSTODY
Article 3 — Transitional Arrangements
- Until the INO establishes its own treasury and accounting infrastructure, the funds are managed on the basis of special project-based agreements in which the participating governments may involve, instead of transferring full-sized funds of sizes determined by the annex.
- This transitional arrangement shall end only when the INO Secretariat and INO Treasury become operational.
CHAPTER III — FUNCTIONS AND ACTIVITIES
Article 4 — Core Functions
- Operate the AIIM global funding platform, including merit algorithms, scoring systems, audits, and anti‑fraud procedures.
- Certify AIIM grantees and innovators for simplified cross‑border mobility (see Article 9).
- Maintain a global registry of recognized high‑impact discoveries and unresolved “scientific coveries”.
- Provide advisory services to governments on:
- innovation policy
- education modernization
- science funding reform
- digital public infrastructure
- Promote knowledge sharing between countries.
Article 5 — Funding Activities
INO allocates resources to:
- scientific research, fundamental and applied
- technological development and open‑source innovation
- public‑interest digital infrastructure
- global problem‑solving (health, environment, energy, etc.)
- independent innovators and researchers
Funding decisions are made algorithmically through AIIM, with human oversight limited to compliance, ethics, and fraud prevention.
CHAPTER IV — MEMBERSHIP
Article 6 — Eligibility
Any sovereign state may join the INO by signing this Treaty.
Article 7 — Rights of Member States
Member States have the right to:
- Participate in all INO governance systems.
- Access innovation, research, and human capital generated by AIIM.
- Nominate INO liaisons for coordination with their national ministries.
- Welcome AIIM grantees for collaborative, educational, or employment activities.
Article 8 — Obligations of Member States
Member States shall:
- Pay annual financial contributions according to Article 11.
- Provide legal recognition for INO‑issued innovation certifications.
- Ensure that AIIM grantees are permitted to visit, research, or build within their borders under simplified procedures (see Article 9).
- Cooperate in investigations of fraud or misuse of funds.
CHAPTER V — FACILITATION OF INNOVATORS’ MOBILITY
Article 9 — Cross‑Border Welcoming of AIIM Grantees
- Member States agree to simplify visa, residency, research access, and employment rules for recipients of AIIM grants.
- AIIM grantees shall receive a status comparable to:
- visiting scholars,
- special economic contributors, or
- high‑skill talent visas.
- This is a temporary policy mechanism until the INO develops full international talent‑mobility frameworks.
CHAPTER VI — GOVERNANCE
Article 10 — Organs of the INO
- General Council — composed of all Member States, one vote per state.
- Executive Secretariat — technical administrative body.
- Science & Innovation Board — independent experts approving algorithm changes.
- Audit and Transparency Division — monitors corruption, misuse, and fairness.
CHAPTER VII — FINANCES
Article 11 — Member State Contributions
Each Member State must make an annual contribution calculated according to the model in the annex.
Funds are used for:
- AIIM algorithmic operations
- global innovation funding
- open infrastructure development
- supporting researchers and innovators
Article 12 — Additional Voluntary Contributions
States may contribute extra funds for thematic programs (subject to algorithmic implementation of the programs):
- climate
- health
- AI safety
- math & fundamental science
- cybersecurity
- education reform

CHAPTER VIII — FINAL PROVISIONS
Article 13 — Amendments
This Treaty may be amended with a two‑thirds vote of the General Council.
Article 14 — Withdrawal
Member States may withdraw with 12 months’ notice.
