Administrative Code, IGLPI It codifies the basic principles and rules of governance of the Grand Lodge and its member lodges which are disseminated throughout our Ancient Landmarks, the Constitutions of Masonry and in other Masonic jurisdictions, the Rules and Regulations of the Craft, books, manuals, jurisprudence, ancient usages and traditions. It affirms that the true power of Freemasonry belongs to the lodges and the Grand Lodge merely exercises administrative function over them; that the power of governance comes from the member lodges and the authority of the Grand Lodge emanates from them. It defines the distribution of power in the Grand Lodge and the accountability of all officers. It details the process and criteria for forming new lodges and the organization of Masonic districts and regions based on the principle of lodge and district initiatives. It also provides the mechanism by which a lodge may be incorporated and maintain ownership of their properties. Another aspect defined by the code is the tenure of office of appointees to the various councils and institutional bodies to ensure continuity of functions and programs of the Grand Lodge.
