[Discussion] Addressing immediate gaps in DAO governance

šŸ¤– DAO Governance and Vision
13

I think that we are almost there with these suggestions. There are two items I want to address in this comment:

  1. Category examples
  2. Gitcoin constitution

Category Examples

Based on the initial draft the @jengajojo created, I want to offer some amendments to the tables:

Offchain Offchain Onchain Onchain
Social Legal Admin Token
Agreements enforceable by a social contract which do not require changes to any contracts Agreements enforced by the legal system and which involve updating the legal setup Agreements enforced by the blockchain which involves making changes onchain without changing a token balance Agreements enforced by the blockchain which requires changing a token balance

Examples:

Social Legal Admin Token
Establishing/modifying DAO cadence Electing/removing foundation director Updating governor contracts Sending/receiving/depositing/withdrawing/staking/lending/borrowing tokens
Ratifying DAO-wide goals Establishing/disbanding legal entities such as Grant Lab Forming/disbanding multi-sigs
Modifying/electing council members (CSDO/Grants council)(ex: GG Community Council) Dissolving the foundation Adding/removing members to any multi-sig
Modifying program or product policies Delegating tokens
Adding/removing partners Adding/removing Hats to a member or a multi-sig
Establishing/modifying constitution
Changing Governance policies, tooling or other mechanics

Changes:

  • Removed:
    • Modifying program or product policies
    • Adding/removing partners
  • Changed:
    • From: Modifying Essential Intents, To: Ratifying DAO-wide goals

Gitcoin Constitution

Iā€™m not 100% sure on what the next step is here.

Iā€™m also still not 100% clear on this, though it seems like the gist is ā€œthings that will change ā€˜oftenā€™ go in the manual and things that ā€˜stay the sameā€™ go in the constitutionā€. Iā€™d love to codify this more concretely so that weā€™re clear on what goes where.

I am also not clear if there is still a plan to maintain posts like the Governance v2 and Governance v3 post with a follow-up Governance v4 post. As I indicated in my original comment above, my vote is no since these posts are long, confusing and filled with gaps.
