✅ Suggested statement you could use:
“I propose 'information administration' as a new domain: the practice of managing, overseeing, and verifying the integrity and structure of informational spaces—especially those used in collaborative mapping, knowledge-building, and anti-disinformation. An 'info administrator' is akin to a sysadmin, but for informational truth and structure.”
