# Governance as Infrastructure, Not Control

**Gold is too neutral, too global, and too systemically important to be governed by a single company.**

Global Gold is governed by the **Global Gold Council** — a decentralized standards and oversight body responsible for defining collateral eligibility, approving vault participation, governing protocol rules, and safeguarding long-term neutrality.

Execution, interfaces, and commercialization are intentionally separated from governance. This separation is not ideological — it is structural. It is what makes the system regulator-defensible, institution-ready, and resistant to capture.
