<h1>Workflow 1: Board Approval Context</h1>
<p>This workflow series follows one continuous story. Acme Inc. is preparing a release that requires formal Board of Directors approval. The company wants the final governance document to be both readable as ProtoML and verifiable as a signed file.</p>
<h2>The story</h2>
<p>The board secretariat authors the document. The board chair signs it. Employees in Release Operations and Compliance later verify it before using it. The trust source is an author-only registry reviewed internally by the company.</p>
<h2>Step 1: Write the governance document</h2>
<pre><code>@protocol "Board Release Approval - Q2"
@author:Board Secretariat
@version:1.0.0
@status:approved
@record_id:BOD-2026-0419

@effective_date:19.04.2026
@review_date:19.10.2026

# Release approval
The Board of Directors approves Release 2026.04 for distribution.

<p>The ProtoML content still carries the normal governance meaning for readers. The detached signature added later will protect the file as an artifact.</p>
<h2>Why this document shape matters</h2>
<ul>
<li>the governance fields support register-style portfolio reporting</li>
<li>the embedded approvals and signatures remain readable in rendered output</li>
<li>the document is ready for detached file signing in the next workflow step</li>
</ul>
<h2>Continue with</h2>
<p>Next, the board secretariat publishes the trusted signer list in <a href="15b_author_registry_workflow.html">Workflow 2: Build An Author-Only Registry</a>.</p>
