Mesh is more than a project — it's a network maintained by a community and governed by a non-profit association. Here's who we are and what we stand for.
Who We Are
The Mesh Network Association (MNA) is a French non-profit association governed by the law of 1 July 1901. It was founded to develop, operate, and sustain the Mesh peer-to-peer messaging network.
Our registered office is located at 1637 route de Chanes, 01360 Beligneux, France.
Our Mission
Under its bylaws, the association's purpose is to:
- Develop and sustain a decentralized peer-to-peer network for secure communication
- Maintain relay servers and routing protocols
- Guarantee the integrity, confidentiality and availability of exchanges through cryptographic solutions
- Promote end-to-end encrypted messaging among the public and organizations
- Federate a community of users and contributors around the project
Governance
The association is run by two officers, elected by the General Assembly for an unlimited term and re-eligible:
- Marc Moreau — President
- Faiyza Khiat — Treasurer
Membership
The association is composed of three kinds of members:
- Founding members — The original members who established the association
- Active members — Members who commit to paying an annual fee, set each year by the General Assembly
- Honorary members — Honorary title, no dues required
Resources
The association's resources comprise:
- Entry fees and membership dues
- Subsidies from the State, regional departments and municipalities
