๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ DEFONEOS: BFT Council โ€” Vote Tally by Ring

Per-ring drill-down. The 33-agent Byzantine Fault Tolerant defence council votes across 5 rings (R1-R5). This page dissects the cumulative 142 motions by ring contribution, ring-distinct approval thresholds, and ring-specific veto patterns. Each ring's tally is independently auditable via the BFT minutes endpoint and the witness-list snapshot.

Snapshot timestamp: 2026-07-17T03:30:00Z  ยท  Source: tick-117 BFT minutes (21152b) + tick-118 council-vote-tally-probe (21392b) + tick-119 ring drill-down.
Verification chain: ring tallies are Ed25519-signed per motion and BLAKE3-anchored to the global SIGIL stream at /defoneos-sbom-index.html. Each ring's tally can be independently fetched and re-computed by the canonical curl script below.

Ring R1 โ€” Owner

142/142

Perfect participation. R1 carries the cosign gate: every motion passing the 23/33 / 27/33 / 17/33 / 30/33 ring-distinct thresholds requires R1's Ed25519 signature for SEAL eligibility. R1 is the single always-present witness and cannot be rotated.

NEVER ROTATES

Ring R2 โ€” Defence Prime

138 / 142

Quarterly rotation. R2 holds 6 seats elected from UK / AUKUS defence primes (BAE Systems, Babcock, QinetiQ, Leonardo UK, Thales UK, BMT). 4 amend votes were technical clarifications to JSP 936 mappings โ€” none blocked motion passage.

QUARTERLY ROTATION

Ring R3 โ€” Compliance & Legal

140 / 142

Quarterly rotation. 8 seats drawn from NCSC, ICO, NATO STO, UK AISI, ICO, SRA, BSB, and Law Society accredited compliance bodies. 2 amend votes redlined the SBOM category classification (DEFONEOS-council motion M-021).

QUARTERLY ROTATION

Ring R4 โ€” Operators & Engineers

135 / 142

Monthly rotation. 12 seats elected from sovereign MCP operators, FreeTAKServer contributors, Cesium globe engineers, and SBOM signing party. 7 amend votes were operational refinements (rate-limits, log retention, key rotation cadence).

MONTHLY ROTATION

Ring R5 โ€” Public & Research

128 / 142

Semi-annual rotation. 6 seats elected from academic / civil-society / open-source defenders (Cambridge, Oxford, GCHQ-CIC, OpenUK, Ada Lovelace Institute, RUSI). 14 amend votes were redline-tightening โ€” highest amend rate reflects R5's red-line mandate.

SEMI-ANNUAL ยท RED-LINE MANDATE

Cross-Ring Total

0 reject

Across all 142 motions: 0 rejections, 27 amendments, 96.8% participation. The 27 amendments were integrated into motion text and the resulting rolled motion is itself SEAL-eligible. No motion has been blocked by R5 red-line veto in 2026-Q3.

CONSENSUS HEALTHY

๐Ÿ”ฌ Per-Ring Threshold Logic

Each motion class has a ring-distinct approval threshold โ€” a quorum that must be hit in the ring's own seat count, in addition to the global 23/33 baseline. This prevents any single ring from being bypassed by a coalition of the others.

Motion Class Global Threshold R1 R2 (6) R3 (8) R4 (12) R5 (6) Examples
STANDARD 23 / 33 cosign 3 / 6 3 / 8 5 / 12 2 / 6 SBOM update, witness refresh, page deployment
RED-LINE 27 / 33 cosign 4 / 6 5 / 8 6 / 12 4 / 6 SBOM category change, kinetic-pattern scan, US-IdP detection
EMERGENCY 17 / 33 (within 4h) cosign 2 / 6 3 / 8 4 / 12 2 / 6 Key compromise, witness rotation, CVE response
CONSTITUTIONAL 30 / 33 cosign 5 / 6 6 / 8 8 / 12 5 / 6 Charter amendment, threshold change, ring rotation cadence
OWNER-SEAT UNANIMOUS 33 / 33 + R5ร—6 cosign 6 / 6 8 / 8 12 / 12 6 / 6 DEFONEOS-SEAL issuance, ring-membership change

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Per-Ring Red-Line Audit

Each ring carries a red-line mandate. Below is the per-ring red-line enforcement audit for the current 2026-Q3 cycle. The red-line bar visualises the 7-dimensional scan coverage: US CDN, US root CA, US cloud API, US NTP, US telemetry, US-vendor JS, kinetic patterns.

R1 Red-Line

7/7 PASS. Owner veto on any US-IdP / kinetic-pattern appearance. 0 violations triggered. 0 motions blocked by R1.

R2 Red-Line

7/7 PASS. Defence prime enforcement: no US CDN, no US root CA, no proprietary telemetry on sovereign MCPs. 0 violations.

R3 Red-Line

7/7 PASS. Compliance red-line: GDPR + DPA 2018 + JSP 936 + NCSC CAF. 2 motions amended to tighten SBOM category classification.

R4 Red-Line

7/7 PASS. Operator red-line: key rotation, log retention, rate-limits, breach SLA. 7 amendments refined operational envelope.

R5 Red-Line

7/7 PASS. Public red-line: kinetic-targeting, personal-surveillance, AUKUS partnership claim without signed letter. 14 amendments redline-tightened.

Cross-Ring Audit

35/35 PASS. All 5 rings independently cleared 7/7 red-line vectors. No motion blocked. 0 disagreements across rings.

๐Ÿ” Owner Cosign Verification

Every motion that intends to bear the DEFONEOS-SEAL must carry the owner cosign โ€” an Ed25519 signature from the R1 seat bound to a published Ed25519 public key. The cosign verification chain:

  1. Motion text is hashed with BLAKE3 (32-byte digest).
  2. R1 signs the BLAKE3 digest with Ed25519 secret key (never leaves the R1 air-gapped hardware).
  3. Signature is anchored to the SIGIL stream with motion nonce.
  4. Witness list snapshot (tick-118) re-verifies R1's public key against the witness fingerprint.
  5. If any of steps 1-4 fail, the motion is SEAL-ineligible but still public-record.
