- The group must hold public elections for governance roles at least every three years, at a time and place of their choosing.

- The group must be open to any resident living within the group’s defined geographic boundaries, allowing them to become members and attend meetings.

- The group must clarify their geographic boundary and ensure that their geographic boundaries do not overlap with those of any other recognised resident group.
