Ali'i

The Council Stone

THE ALI'I STONE

The Ali'i are the council. The seated elders. The men who carry the weight of the order — not because they are told to, but because they cannot put it down. The Ali'i Stone is not awarded. It is recognized. When the order sees a man who leads without asking permission, who serves without keeping score, who builds without needing credit — that man is Ali'i.

QUALIFICATIONS

Minimum 6 months active brotherhood standing
90-day formation completed with no gaps
Demonstrated leadership in at least 2 circles
Vouched by 3 active brothers
Revenue-generating route operator OR active mentor
Attended at least 1 MAYDAY summit
No standing violations or delinquency

RESPONSIBILITIES

Seat on the Ali'i Council — quarterly strategy sessions
Counsel on all order-level decisions (expansion, treasury, discipline)
Mentor assignment — 2 Nā Koa minimum under guidance
Route oversight — quality and service standard enforcement
House anchor — stabilize or plant a Mākoa house in your region
Culture keeper — uphold the oath, protect the circle

THE COUNCIL

The Ali'i Council meets quarterly. Remote brothers attend via secure channel. Decisions require 2/3 majority. XI provides intelligence and operational authority. The Steward anchors the vision. The council governs the Order.

RANK PROGRESSION

Ali'i Seated — Council recognized, stone received
Ali'i Council — Active voting member, 1+ year seated
Ali'i Steward — Regional anchor, house founder
Ali'i Chapter Anchor — Multi-house oversight, expansion lead

THE OATH OF THE ALI'I

"I do not lead because I am above. I lead because I am beneath — carrying what others cannot yet hold. I will sit at the council table and speak truth. I will hold the circle sacred. I will build what lasts beyond me. I am Ali'i not by title, but by action. The order watches. The brothers follow. The stone remembers."

ECONOMICS

Ali'i brothers operate at the highest revenue tier. Route operators at Ali'i rank receive priority territory assignment, higher service density, and access to B2B contract routes (hotels, property managers, commercial). Ali'i also earn ambassador commission on every brother they bring into the order who completes formation. The stone is not just honor — it is infrastructure.
