Personal capacity • Nonpartisan • Not an agency communication

Petition Center

Two separate petition channels may support the same documented oversight request. IWAC keeps the authoritative verified ledger used for its congressional package. Change.org can be used as a separate public-reach companion channel.

IWAC Petition Version 1.0Dated 2026-09-17

Authoritative IWAC ledger

IWAC verified petition

The IWAC petition uses the frozen petition version, separate electronic-signature attestation, personal-email verification, disclosure controls, receipts, and custody records.

IWAC verified signatures are the signatures used in the IWAC congressional package. Petition participation remains separate from evidence intake, EEO, OSC, grievance, MSPB, union, or other processes.

Secure signing is not active yet. The petition runtime remains fail-closed until the dedicated database, email delivery, retention, backup, and security gates are active.

Separate public-reach channel

Change.org companion petition

The companion petition can provide an additional public way to express support and share the issue. Change.org has its own account, verification, privacy, sharing, and petition-management processes.

Signing one does not automatically sign the other. Change.org support is reported as a separate support count and is not merged into the IWAC named signer roster.

The Change.org companion URL is not configured yet. Once the companion petition is created, this card can point to its official Change.org page without changing the IWAC petition ledger.

How support counts are handled

IWAC verified signatures

Named and confidential-count support follows the signer’s IWAC disclosure selection and IWAC verification status.

Change.org support

A Change.org export may be hashed and summarized as a separate companion support count.

No silent de-duplication

Names alone are not sufficient to prove that a Change.org supporter and an IWAC signer are the same person.

Important boundaries

  • • Both channels are voluntary and personal-capacity activities.
  • • Neither channel changes or extends an EEO, grievance, OSC, MSPB, union, or other filing deadline.
  • • Do not include taxpayer information, classified/security-sensitive information, medical details, credentials, or another person’s protected records in petition comments.
  • • Change.org is an external platform with its own terms and privacy practices; IWAC does not receive signer email addresses from Change.org exports.
