CTH as Framework Operator

CTH as Framework Operator

CleantechHUB operates the infrastructure. It does not own the data.

Constitutional Layer · C-01

The most important design choice in this framework: CTH is the operator, not the owner. CTH maintains the technical infrastructure, publishes the standards, certifies validators, and enforces the rules. CTH does not own, sell, or unilaterally access the climate data that flows through the system.

The ICANN Model: ICANN operates the Domain Name System globally. It maintains the protocol, accredits registrars, and enforces policy. It does not own domain names — registrants do. CTH's relationship to climate data is structurally identical. CTH maintains the protocol and enforces the framework; data submitters and communities own their data.

What CTH Can Do

✅ Maintain infrastructure

Operate the governance ledger, API, and credential verification services.

✅ Publish standards

Release new framework versions, SHACL shapes, and methodology registries.

✅ Certify validators

Issue CTH Validator Credentials to organisations meeting EN ISO/IEC 14065 requirements.

✅ Enforce submission rules

Reject submissions that fail SHACL validation or lack required FPIC credentials.

What CTH Cannot Do

🚫 Override FPIC consent

CTH cannot access community-restricted data even with full administrator credentials. This is enforced at database row-level security — not policy.

🚫 Sell or license data

CTH cannot sell, license, or grant access to data it does not own. Data owners control their own ODRL usage policies.

🚫 Change framework unilaterally

Major framework changes require a ⅔ board supermajority. Changes touching FPIC rules additionally require Community Sovereignty Panel affirmative vote.

🚫 Validate its own data

CTH-submitted data must be validated by a third-party accredited validator. No self-certification.
