This instance was initially started with the idea of fostering the ideals and mission of the Neuromatch organization as described above, in addition to using its name and seed funding to run the server.  However the governance of this instance is ultimately up to its users which means that the leadership of Neuromatch does not call the shots, as it were. To help maintain the connection between Neuromatch as an organization, and the principles of this instance, the Neuromatch working group will exist as an entity with the goal of serving as a communication channel for proposals suggested by the NM leadership (which may be accepted or rejected by the voting body).  The one discretionary power of the Neuromatch WG is the ability to choose to sever the connection between Neuromatch as an organization, and this instance.  This would only require changing the name of the instance to a term that is not easily confusable with Neuromatch. If this were to happen before the instance because financially self sustaining, Neuromatch would continue to fund maintenance of the servers for an additional 6 months [This commitment is pending approval from the NM CEO].
The Coop itself can choose to sever connection with Neuromatch at any time of course, at which point the NM WG would cease to exist as well.  This would also require a change of name for the instance.  Funding from NM for the server would continue for a time period following the same terms as above.
