Advisory Board · Koher

The Working Board is forming.

Four people have agreed to guide the practice. Names will appear here after the first meeting on Saturday, 6 June 2026.

Acceptance and public listing are different acts. The first happens by email. The second should happen after the first conversation has taken place — when the four people who agreed to guide the practice have met, asked their questions, and decided how they would like to be represented. Until then, this page describes what the board is for, not who is on it.

Why a board at all, for a practice of one?

A tool that is built alone becomes a tool that argues with itself. Koher is a one-person practice but it is not a one-person conversation. The board is the room where the practice's assumptions get tested by people who do not depend on Koher being right.

The board does not run the practice. It tests its assumptions, reviews its tools, holds the long arc.

What the board does, and doesn't

Does

  • Tests assumptions.
  • Reviews tools.
  • Holds the long arc.
  • Files written feedback.

Doesn't

  • Run the practice.
  • Approve releases.
  • Carry credibility for grants.
  • Meet on a calendar.

The Correspondents tier

A separate tier alongside the Working Board. International, cross-domain. Lighter ask, looser commitment — recent work shared, response invited if moved. No board commitment, no quarterly meeting.

Indian proximity converts. International cold email does not. The Correspondents tier absorbs the international voice without the drag of asking for commitment that won't come. Target range: 15–25, growing.

First meeting

Saturday, 6 June 2026

Online, video call. Two hours. The first conversation. Names go up here afterwards, in the form each member would like.

Until then — four people are reading carefully, and Prayas is still answering.
