Team and governance
Governance structure, legal representation, and operational team at El Paraíso.
Governance
Chapter VI of the bylaws defines four bodies: the Permanent Founder, the General Assembly of Associates, the Legal Representative (principal and alternate), and the Fiscal Auditor. The Assembly operates in an advisory capacity while the Permanent Founder is active, and assumes full decision-making authority when the Permanent Founder ceases to hold the role (article 25).
The Permanent Founder serves ad honórem (article 12, paragraph 4). This condition is structural to the lean operating model described in article 14 and serves as a safeguard against the diversion of resources toward governance expenses.
