A clean, traditional Typst template for formal governance documents, bylaws, and articles.

Originally made for my work at Carbophile Group due to a lack of governance templates in English. I decided to make it public so all kinds of organizations can benefit.

Example

#import "@preview/govern:0.2.0": govern

#set document(
  title: "Bylaws of Carbophile Group",
  author: "The General Assembly",
  date: datetime(year: 1970, month: 1, day: 1),
)

#show: govern.with(draft: false)

= Organization

== Name

The name of this organization shall be Carbophile Group.

== Object

The object of this organization shall be to advance cybersecurity in Croatia up to international standards.

= Members

== Eligibility

Any natural person shall be eligible for membership.

== Admission

+ Except as provided in @founding, all members shall be admitted by the General Assembly.
+ Admission shall require a two-thirds vote.

== Resignation

+ To resign, a member shall submit a written resignation to the Secretary.
+ The Secretary shall present the resignation at the next regular meeting, at which point it shall take effect.
+ An officer shall resign from office before resigning from membership.

== Founding Members <founding>

+ Signatories of the fiscal sponsorship agreement between Carbophile Group and The Hack Foundation shall be granted membership.
+ This membership shall not be affected by the termination of the agreement.
+ They shall be considered regular members in every aspect, including removal.

Usage

Native Typst parameters document.title, document.author, and document.date must be set before initializing the template.

document.date should not be left at the default auto and can instead be set to datetime.today() to replicate the default behavior.

Options Reference

1. Watermarks aren’t visible to screen readers. For accessibility, I recommend you also append [DRAFT] to the title so it reads Title [DRAFT]. ↩︎
