Thanks for the feedback and the questions.
The suggestion here is that: High level things about Gitcoin which are not going to change regularly shall be part of the constitution, however more operational aspects which evolve regularly shall be part of the manual. If the DAO approves going in the direction of forming a constitution, then we shall post a DRAFT first to collect feedback before we proceed to making a final proposal.
Here are a few examples of each category:
Social
In the proposed new structure, we will create a dedicated pool of funds (up to $125K quarterly) available to support “matching on matching” pools. Communities with any amount raised for matching and meeting the round criteria can apply for up to $25K in funding from Gitcoin to go toward their matching pool. The GG20 Community Council (a Gitcoin DAO-elected external council) will proceed to review applications and vote on which communities to fund in the upcoming round.
The below outlines the mi…

Introducing The Gitcoin Foundation - A proposal to represent the Gitcoin DAO IRL by a Cayman Islands Foundation.
TL;DR: This proposal outlines why a foundation is useful, how the Gitcoin Foundation is structured, and what powers the DAO has over the Gitcoin Foundation (spoiler, the DAO will have virtually all the control!). This proposal also calls for the community to execute a transfer of ownership of various Gitcoin Holdings assets, including our DAO Treasury timelock contract and public goo…

Summary
We propose adding oSnap, a governance tool developed by UMA, to the Gitcoin Grants Matching Pool Safe to allow for automatic Safe Tx execution of grant distributions after successful Snapshot votes.
This is an amended proposal that incorporates feedback from the Gitcoin team and community. The original proposal can be found here .
Abstract

Context and Update
In our continued efforts to evolve and democratize the governance process within the Gitcoin DAO, we previously proposed (which passed !) adjustments to the GTC voting thresholds. After valuable discussions and technical consultations, it’s clear that some proposed changes need refinement. Specifically, adjusting the 2.5M GTC quorum requirement presents technical challenges and may necessitate deploying a new contract, which we want to avoid. However, we can modify the 1M GTC r…
Summary
Gitcoin has been working with ScopeLift for a number of months to develop, test and now implement new onchain governance contracts for the Gitcoin DAO. These new contracts are built on tested Open Zeppelin contracts that bring Governor Bravo functionality to our DAO’s governance. These new contracts also have the Flexible Voting extension which has been audited . Flexible Voting provides a permissionless interface for integration and experimentation via voting contracts, enabling a host …

This proposal was put together with support and guidance from @CoachJonathan
Summary: This proposal seeks Gitcoin community approval for a grant to fund the “Funding the Commons” hackathon and conference series. The grant aims to:
Position Gitcoin’s Allo Protocol and Grants Stack at the forefront of an emerging EVM-based public goods funding ecosystem

I have posted a suggestion for the minimum approval. If there are no comments against it, then it will be proposed as it is. However, if the community wants to discuss it further we can setup a offchain vote to determine these thresholds.
