Is my GRA account personal, institutional, or both?

Your account may be personal, institutional, or linked to an institutional pathway depending on how it is created, reviewed, and recorded. 

For most individual Council subscribers, the account is personal. It belongs to the individual leader joining the Nexus Consortium national formation pathway. That person may have a professional title, employer, sector background, and institutional experience, but they are participating individually unless institutional representation is separately authorized. 

An institutional account or pathway is different. It belongs to a company, bank, insurer, fund, university, public agency, foundation, sponsor, anchor, host, or other organization. That pathway should be handled through Helix Councils or another institutional route, not through an individual Council subscription. 

A linked account may occur when an individual is authorized to represent an approved institution. Even then, the person still needs an individual operating profile for access, identity, forms, records, and accountability. 

The distinction matters because GRA must separate individual national ownership from company participation. An individual subscription builds the Stewardship Pool. A company pathway builds institutional engagement. They may connect, but they are not the same.
