Civil Society Engagement Roadmap

1. Purpose

AlemX Inc. ("AlemX") recognizes that building a safe and rights-respecting platform requires sustained engagement with civil-society organizations ("CSOs"), academic researchers, and affected communities. This Roadmap sets out (a) the principles guiding our civil-society engagement, (b) the concrete activities we commit to, (c) the timeline for those activities, and (d) how we will report on progress.

This document reflects AlemX's commitment to GIFCT membership criterion 6, which requires platforms to demonstrate meaningful engagement with civil society on trust and safety.

2. Guiding Principles

Accountability over optics. We engage civil society to improve our decisions, not to furnish endorsements. Where external feedback conflicts with internal preferences, we will explain our reasoning transparently.

Proportionality. AlemX is a pre-launch, early-stage company. Our commitments are scaled to our current size and resources, with explicit triggers for expanding engagement as the platform grows.

Inclusion. We prioritize engagement with organizations that represent communities most likely to be affected by AlemX moderation decisions — including organizations focused on human rights, child safety, counter-terrorism, hate speech, mis- and disinformation, bullying and harassment, digital rights, gender-based violence, and marginalized-group advocacy.

Transparency. Civil-society engagement activities and their outcomes are reported in the AlemX Transparency Report.

3. Engagement Activities

3.1 GIFCT Membership Advisory Program (MAP)

AlemX has confirmed participation in the GIFCT Membership Advisory Program (July 2026). Through MAP, AlemX will work with GIFCT staff and existing members to align its policies, processes, and technical capabilities with GIFCT's six membership criteria. This includes structured feedback on AlemX's trust and safety policies from GIFCT's network of civil-society advisors.

3.2 Policy consultation

Before publishing or materially amending any of the following policies, AlemX will invite written feedback from at least two external organizations with relevant expertise:

Feedback will be solicited by email to identified CSOs, with a minimum thirty (30) day comment period. AlemX will publish a summary of feedback received and how it was addressed.

3.3 Transparency Report review

Each AlemX Transparency Report will be shared in draft with at least one civil-society organization for pre-publication feedback on completeness, methodology, and framing. Reviewers will be acknowledged in the published report (with consent).

3.4 Ad-hoc consultation

AlemX will seek external civil-society input when:

  • A new product feature materially changes the risk profile for user safety (e.g., introduction of live video, end-to-end encryption, or algorithmic recommendation).
  • An incident reveals a systemic gap in AlemX's trust and safety infrastructure.
  • AlemX enters a new geographic market where local civil-society context is essential.

3.5 Dedicated contact channel

Civil-society organizations can reach AlemX at human-rights@alemx.com (as described in the Human Rights Policy §7). AlemX commits to acknowledging CSO inquiries within seven (7) calendar days.

4. Timeline

Phase 1 — Foundation (Pre-launch through Month 6)

  • Confirm GIFCT MAP participation (confirmed July 2026, in progress)
  • Identify initial set of 3–5 CSOs for policy consultation outreach (target: Month 3 post-launch)
  • Publish this Roadmap on alemx.com/legal/civil-society
  • Provision human-rights@alemx.com contact alias

Phase 2 — Active Engagement (Month 6 through Month 18)

  • Conduct first policy consultation cycle (Community Guidelines review)
  • Share first Transparency Report draft with a CSO reviewer
  • Evaluate joining at least one multi-stakeholder initiative beyond GIFCT (candidates: Trust & Safety Professional Association, Digital Trust & Safety Partnership, or regional equivalent)

Phase 3 — Maturity (Month 18+)

  • Establish a standing Civil Society Advisory Group with 3–5 members, meeting semi-annually
  • Publish a dedicated Civil Society Engagement Report (may be integrated into the Transparency Report)
  • Review and expand the roster of consultation partners as AlemX scales to new markets

5. Reporting

Progress against this Roadmap is reported in each Transparency Report. Specifically, each report will include:

  • Number and type of civil-society consultations conducted in the reporting period
  • Summary of feedback received and actions taken
  • Updates on Phase progress against the timeline in §4

6. Governance

The Compliance Coordinator is responsible for executing this Roadmap. The CEO is accountable for resourcing and approving material changes to the engagement plan.

This Roadmap is reviewed at least annually and updated as AlemX's scale, geographic reach, and civil-society relationships evolve.
