The individual members, or units, of this DAO shall be working people — free thinkers, truth speakers, and light workers united (FTLU) by the collective consciousness and love of their neighbor. Any individual may rise through the ranks of the DAO by acclamation of their polity. Any unit of the DAO may order services from a known service provider, meaning a freely associated firm who is known to supply the DAO, in a client-server—request-response interface.
(b) And Furthermore, that there is hereby established an ecclesiastic college (meaning, assembly of a society) of the members of the DAO who are domiciled in this region, which shall sit and meet in Nacotchtank, and which is empowered to commission syndicates for various purposes.
Notes on Jurisdiction
A famous, centuries-old map of the Chesapeake Bay region appears beautiful at first glance, but Anacostia Unmapped contributor John Johnson sees foreboding and destruction. The map, created by Capt. John Smith and first published in 1612, was heavily used by English settlers. It shows a Native American village, Nacotchtank, on the bank of a river. Variations on spelling and pronunciation eventually turned the name of the area — and the river — into Anacostia. The tribe is officially extinct, but a resident of Anacostia, Jason Anderson, tells Johnson about his deep links to it.
The village of Nacotchtank (from which the name Anacostia is derived) was the largest of the three American Indian villages located in the Washington area and is believed to have been a major trading center. The people of Nacotchtank, or Anacostans, were an Algonquian-speaking people that lived along the southeast side of the Anacostia River in the area between today’s Bolling Air Force Base and Anacostia Park, in the floodplain below the eastern-most section of today’s Fort Circle Parks. A second town, Nameroughquena, most likely stood on the Potomac’s west bank, opposite of what today is Theodore Roosevelt Island. Another village existed on a narrow bluff between today’s Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and MacArthur Boulevard in the northwest section of the city.
National Park Service (NPS), “Native Peoples of Washington, DC”
The Anacostans’ name is a Latin version of their original name, the Nacotchtanks. The name came from the Indian word “anaquashatanik,” which means “a town of traders.” They were known for trading throughout the Chesapeake area, even trading fur with the Iroquois of New York.
Museum officials [note] that the Anacostans are mentioned at an exhibit on Native Americans in the Chesapeake Bay area.
Ann McMullen, a supervisory museum curator, said exhibits are designed to “focus on living people and not on Anacostans who have been absorbed into other tribes.” She said the museum works with tribes in the Mid-Atlantic region, including the Pamunkeys and Piscataways, who are “descendants of people who were once here.”

D.R. 01-03: UA
Volume 1, Issue 3
An Act to Establish and Regulate a Mystery School System for the Decentralized and Autonomous Administration of General and Higher Education.
By Antarah Crawley
Article 1. Universitas
(1) There is hereby established an institute named Universitas Autodidactus, FLF-DAO, which means “Self-Teaching University, a firm league of friendship in the nature of a decentralized autonomous organization.” This institution may be abbreviated “UA.”
(2) The UA shall operate as one firm. This firm shall be organized by a system of syndicates which are themselves organized into colleges. Any vested member of a syndicate under Article 3 (called a “student” or talib) shall be a beneficial member of the firm. Any student who vouchsafes their trust, faith, and/or belief in the operations of the firm shall be a member thereof.
(3) The firm shall be governed by a “Steering Council,” or “Committee of the Whole,” composed of two delegates (called “friends”) elected by each Syndicate and confirmed by their respective Collegium. The friends shall represent their collegiate syndicates in the firm in their own private sui jurisdiction (the “private” or “interior”). These “friends” of the firm shall be the trustees thereof.
(4) The Steering Council shall assemble at the national and global levels. The Officium Tribunus Plebis shall be incorporated into the organization of the National and International Steering Councils by reference.
(5) Assemblies of this governing body of the firm shall be held in the nature of a public meeting, shall follow Robert’s Rules of Order where appropriate; and shall duly notice all regular and special meetings.
Article 2. Collegium Ecclesia
(1) There is hereby established within the firm a forum of Collegium Ecclesia Syndicatus, which means “United Assembly of the Society,” which may also be known as an “Ecclesiastic College,” which is composed of committees (called “syndici”) of student bodies. Herein, “syndicate“ is synonymous with “committee,“ which is synonymous with “student body.“
(2) Such a College may be organized or united on the basis of locality with diversified syndication, or on the basis of a particular discipline, subject, trade, craft, or operation.
(3) The syndici constituting the College shall serve the function of disciplinary departments, and may be styled “Syndicatus [Disciple/Subject], Collegium Ecclesia [Local/Name].”
(4) A member of a syndicate, or student, shall be called “syndicus,” meaning “syndic.”
(5) Assemblies of this governing body of the firm shall be held in the nature of a public meeting, shall follow Robert’s Rules of Order where appropriate; and shall duly notice all regular and special meetings.
Article 3. Syndicatus
(1) There is hereby established within the forum of Collegium Ecclesia a mechanism to allow a member of the firm to establish a syndicate by acclamation (Latin: acclamatio, a vote by means other than ballot) of two or more additional students (the “public”) known as the student body.
(2) There is hereby chartered and instituted within the firm The Chairman, the Elective Faculty and Student Body of the Society of the New Syllabus, which may also be known as “Societas Novus Syllabus” which means “The Society of the New Syllabus.” This syndicate, or committee, shall constitute its own college, shall stand perpetually, shall be governed by NOVUS SYLLABUS L.L.C., and shall have a chair at the global and national Steering Councils of the UA.
(3) Proceedings of syndici shall include: Semester, Course [of study], Seminar [on subject], and Symposium [on theme]. Such proceedings may be styled “Subcommittee on […],” and shall follow Robert’s Rules of Order where appropriate.
(3)(a) A course is served by a CORPS of the same control number. Course work is administered by the CORPS of the same control number.
(4) Attendees of collegiate, ecclesiastical, and syndical proceedings shall be attired in a white shirt or garment and black or dark jacket.
(5) The UA shall provide to the public a “service” by and through its syndici, in receipt of which the public shall make an offering of their own free will and accord (“deposit”) as a token of their trust, faith, and/or belief in the services provided by the firm, thereby becoming a benefactor of the proceeding and a member of the firm. It is this exchange, made freely, knowingly, and voluntarily by the public to the private that re-venues the current “C” from the exterior to the interior of the firm.
(6) It shall be the prerogative of the syndici to provide for the dispatch of deposit collectors styled “treasurer” and subordinate “comptrollers.” The deposit collected shall constitute a vested interest in and appreciation of the subject matter of the proceeding, and shall inure to the benefit of the Syndicate. This is to say that at every proceeding in which the public appreciates the subject matter, there shall be a discharge of deposits.
