Protocolbot 5c4c6f4874 fix: remove cultural identifiers from protocol titles for consistency
Cultural context remains in descriptions. Titles now uniformly use the
practice name without prefixing the culture, country, religion, or people.
e.g. 'Quaker Meeting for Worship' -> 'Meeting for Worship',
'Moroccan Jmaa Village Assembly' -> 'Jmaa Village Assembly',
'Aboriginal Yarning Circle' -> 'Yarning Circle'.

43 titles updated across the seed library.

title: Ikastola Parents' Assembly
description: >-
A Basque practice in which the parents of an ikastola — a Basque-medium
cooperative school — govern the school through a general assembly, with
each family holding a voice. Ikastolas emerged during the Franco era as
grassroots Basque language schools and remain parent-cooperative in
governance.

steps:
- headline: Convene all families
description: >-
The ikastola convenes a general assembly of all families whose
children attend. Each family, not each parent, holds a voice in the
governance of the school.
- headline: Present with full accounts
description: >-
The governing board presents the school's accounts, educational
plan, and staff situation, shared in advance so families arrive
informed.
- headline: Deliberate on direction
description: >-
The assembly deliberates on the school's direction — pedagogical
choices, Basque-language policy, finances, staffing — with all
families able to speak.
- headline: Vote by family
description: >-
The assembly votes on decisions, each family casting one vote. The
board is elected or confirmed from among the families.
- headline: Mandate the board
description: >-
The assembly mandates the board to implement the decisions, with the
board accountable to the next assembly.
outcome: >-
A Basque-medium school is governed by the families whose children
attend, with direction set by assembly and implemented by an
accountable board.
practice: >-
The family-as-member structure is what makes an ikastola cooperative,
not state. If families disengage and the board self-perpetuates, the
form drifts toward ordinary school governance.
