Korda's Joint Committee on Transition Facts has circulated a document that does not answer the Convention's central question. It may nevertheless make the next argument more precise.
The working source index divides the evidence planned for the committee's preliminary compilation into reconciled entries, provisional entries, and records still awaiting support. The index covers title and custodial registers, transport agreements, operating and maintenance returns, and cost schedules. It does not announce a boundary or a preferred constitutional status for any part of Korda.
The missing records now have names
When the committee first began reconciling submissions, delegates could reasonably disagree about what the evidence would eventually contain. Now the unfilled spaces are narrower and identifiable: some archival title references, amendments to existing contracts, and the allocation of shared service costs still need support.
That matters because a claim about a missing cost estimate is different from a claim that no comparable information exists. The index allows delegates to ask whether an unresolved item changes a particular conclusion, rather than treating incompleteness as a reason to suspend the entire debate.
The committee warns that its classifications are still working labels. A source marked reconciled does not by itself establish who should govern a district; an outstanding title does not decide where a future boundary belongs. Those are questions for the Convention under the constitutional process.
A document about evidence, not a settlement
The committee's preliminary compilation has not been published. The index is not that compilation and does not establish a publication date. Its internal target remains non-binding. Nor does the circulation pause the Convention's constitutional clock.
For Jalen Mire, Tomas Rell and Dessa Orin, the difficult choices remain where they were: how a certified district claim should receive democratic effect, how the remaining Territory could sustain its services, and whether Korda's path toward eventual statehood can survive a change in shape. The new index makes none of those choices for them.
It does something smaller and potentially more useful. It gives the Convention an increasingly common vocabulary for what is known, what is provisional, and what has not yet been proved.
No resolution has been adopted. The next test is whether that common vocabulary produces a serious comparison of possible dispositions rather than one more argument over which file is missing.
