# DBIS — Financial Licensing Delegate Boundary Charter

## Article 1 — Purpose

1.1 This Charter defines the bounded financial-licensing delegate role of **DBIS** within the SHOSJJ licensing framework.

1.2 DBIS acts as an administrative and domain-review delegate for specified financial classes. It does **not** become the sovereign licensor by virtue of this Charter.

## Article 2 — Role separation

2.1 SHOSJJ Licensing Authority remains the sole institutional license issuer under `GUOSMM-A-2026-002`.

2.2 DBIS remains a **Tripartite Sovereign Body** for settlement under `GUOSMM-C-2026-001`.

2.3 OMNL remains prudential supervisor where separately designated and is not the licensor.

2.4 Treasury issues SCUDO under `GUOSMM-A-2026-001`; DBIS does not issue SCUDO.

## Article 3 — Permitted delegate functions

3.1 Intake, class review, risk classification, and recommendation for:

- `person.financial`
- `entity.bank`
- `entity.financial_institution`
- `entity.exchange`
- `entity.trust_company`
- `entity.insurance`

3.2 Coordination of financial-domain evidence, institutional fit-and-proper review, and alignment with the commercial registry taxonomy.

3.3 Administrative routing of appeals to the SHOSJJ ladder and ICCC chamber path where judicial review is invoked.

## Article 4 — Explicit exclusions

4.1 No claim that DBIS is itself the sovereign licensor.

4.2 No claim that settlement-plane personality alone creates banking, exchange, trust, or insurance market access in respondent jurisdictions.

4.3 No claim of BIS, IMF, national central-bank, or national banking-regulator equivalence.

4.4 No correspondent-banking or admitted-insurance entitlement by publication alone.

## Article 5 — Counsel conditions

5.1 Financial and insurance classes require enhanced or sovereign counsel tiering where the legal-form framework requires it.

5.2 External-facing use remains contingent on jurisdiction matrices, Track B closure where applicable, and respondent-jurisdiction counsel.

5.3 Public explanations must distinguish:

- SHOSJJ licensor,
- DBIS financial delegate,
- OMNL prudential supervisor,
- Treasury monetary issuer.
