Purpose and Objectives The primary purpose of the Rules-as-Code (RaC) Guild is to openly and collaboratively develop, innovate, educate and promote all aspects of translating legal rules, such as legislative or regulatory provisions, into machine-executable code. By doing so we aim to harness RaC's potential to ensure consistent and equitable rule application, bolster transparency and accountability, enhance the speed and accuracy of compliance and promote better policy formation, among many other benefits. 2. Domain - Computer-readable Legal Rules The community would be focused on the principles, methodologies and tools related to translating legal text into machine-readable and executable code. This might involve discussions about best practices, infrastructure, coding standards, and testing methods specific to RaC.

Answer "Rules-as-Code" (RaC) is an approach to legislation and policy-making that treats rules and regulations as a form of code that can be understood by humans and executed by computers. The idea is that by translating legislation into machine-readable format, we can create systems that are more transparent, efficient, and easier to manage. A "Rules-as-Code Guild" could serve as a collective of experts, lawmakers, developers, and other stakeholders who are interested in this intersection between law and technology. Here are some objectives and activities that such a guild could potentially undertake: Education and Training
