**DIDO Ecosphere Community** is the highest level [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:coi]] that encapsulates DIDO Ecosystem Communities and DIDO Domain Communities. The Ecosphere usually provides high-level requirements and some funding for the administration of the other CoIs. The Ecosphere's role is to act as a coordinator of the Ecosystems and to provide a framework for all other CoIs to establish working agreements such as [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:m:moa]] or [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:m:mou]]. The Ecosphere is often the only CoI that is recognized as a Legal Entity with legally binding [[dido:public:ra:1.3_gov:1_legaldocs:1_charter | Charter]], [[dido:public:ra:1.3_gov:1_legaldocs:2_bylaws | Bylaws]] and official [[dido:public:ra:1.3_gov:1_legaldocs:3_pp | Policies and Procedures]]. Often the Ecosphere control [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:intelp|Intellectual Property]] Rights (IP) and allowable [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:copyright | Copyrights]] that are acceptable for the Ecosphere and the Domain.
