 The user-visible model is one network. Under the hood it is a set of geographic
 shards (§3), so no instance replicates the whole world.
 
+### 2.1 Network policy
+
+A small signed policy carries the network-wide settings:
+
+```
+NetworkPolicy {
+  version, issuedAt, notBefore?, notAfter?
+  topic, protocol
+  sharding { maxVesselsPerShard, maxVesselsPerInstance, lookAheadKm,
+             splitSettleMinutes, mergeSettleMinutes, mergeBelowRatio,
+             boundaryHysteresisMeters }
+  election { epochMinutes, minUptimeMinutes }
+  rates    { maxSnapshotHzUnderway, maxSnapshotHzMoored }
+  ais      { maxTargets, maxRateHz }
+}
+```
+
+It is signed by the network operator. A signed default ships with the plugin; a
+newer signed policy received over the mesh overrides it and is cached. Clients
+verify the signature against pinned operator keys, reject rollback and invalid
+values, and fall back to the shipped default if no live policy is available.
+The operator's private key never goes to a relay; the standalone peer can
+republish a signed policy file.
+
 Write authorization, group approval and the public claim registry are specified in
 [`security.md`](security.md).
