The Network Nations Alliance fulfills its purpose through five core functions: **Convening** Bringing together individuals and organizations exploring Network Nations through gatherings, assemblies, and collaborative spaces — both online and in-person. **Knowledge Stewardship** Cultivating, curating, and sharing knowledge about Network Nations — including definitions, frameworks, case studies, and emerging practices. **Publishing** Creating and distributing content that advances understanding of Network Nations — including research, guides, analyses, and commentary. **Activity Support** Enabling self-organized activities that advance the movement — including mapping projects, alliance-building, initiatives, grants, courses, and other emergent efforts.
