Scope note

Text

Instances of this class comprise official group formation events undertaken following formal procedures within a social grouping leading to the formal existence of the group relative to the participating parties, whether subgroups or individual persons. The substance of declarative group formation is an intentional, social act. 

Instances of ZE33 Declarative Formation come about when the specific social procedure required is intentionally and successfully enacted according to the prevalent rules. They end with the successful termination of the act or because of its premature termination.

A successful act of ZE33 Declarative Formation leads to the generation of an instance of ZE11 Membership Status, the institutional fact that thereafter mediates the social relation between the group and actor in question until it has been abrogated.
