WHEREAS “whimsy” is defined as “a fanciful or fantastic device, object, or creation”^[1] having “a playful or amusing quality”^[2] and being “playfully quant” or “odd.”^[3]

WHEREAS the world is full of institutions, processes, goods and services in which the level of whimsy is important.

WHEREAS many situations arise in which the level of whimsy is incorrect, producing side effects such as harm or sadness.

WHEREAS the application or withholding of whimsy has the potential to cause great harm or dissatisfaction, further depression, misinformation, fear, or delusion.

WHEREAS up to this point, there has been no body, institution, person or system centrally tasked with the duties of governance, documentation and advice in matters relating to whimsy, and such a vacuum has allowed a trend of incorrectness in regards to whimsy levels to proliferate.

It is resolved that this body, the Whimsy Governance Board shall take on the duties of governance, documentation and advice in matters of whimsy.

The Board shall, when called upon by a member of the public in need, provide its opinion, making use of all available resources, experts, information, and after deliberation, issue its findings. Members of the public shall be able to seek the guidance of the Board by electronically mailing a short description of the matter needing attention to board@whimsygov.org.

The Board shall modify its membership as needed in order to ensure its swift and sensical operation in an ever shifting whimsy landscape.
