Xavier DammanJonas BouryGovernance Proposal for DAO Decision-Making Process
Introduction
This governance proposal outlines the decision-making process for Citizen Wallet, ensuring transparency, inclusivity, and community-driven governance. Our goal is to empower members by providing a structured, democratic approach to decision-making that aligns with our DAO's mission and values.
Tools and Platforms
To manage and streamline our governance process, we will use Notion as the primary platform for capturing and organizing community proposals. Notion will serve as the central hub for proposal submission, discussion, and documentation, ensuring accessibility and transparency for all members.
Proposal Submission Process
- Initiation: Members of the DAO can initiate proposals by submitting a detailed document in Governance proposals. Proposals should clearly outline the objective, benefits, potential impacts, and any resources required for implementation.
- Formatting Guidelines: Proposals must adhere to the standard template provided on Notion, which includes sections for the proposal summary, detailed description, strategic alignment, implementation steps, and expected outcomes.
- Submission Deadline: Proposals must be submitted at least 10 days before the weekly community call to allow adequate time for community review and discussion.
Voting Process
- Eligibility: All DAO members who have been active for at least 30 days are eligible to vote on proposals. This criterion ensures that voters have a basic understanding of the DAO's operations and goals.
- Voting Period: Once a proposal is submitted and accepted for voting, a one-week voting window will be opened. During this period, members can cast their votes on Notion.
- Voting Mechanism: Voting will be conducted anonymously a voting system integrated with Notion. Each member will have one vote per proposal, with the option to choose 'For', 'Against'.
- Quorum Requirements: A minimum of 50% of eligible voting members must participate for the vote to be considered valid. This ensures that decisions are made with broad community support.
- Decision Criteria: Decisions will be made based on a simple majority of votes cast. In the event of a tie, the proposal will be revisited and discussed in the next community call before a second round of voting is conducted.
Final Decision-Making
- Community Call: Final decisions on proposals will be made during the weekly community call, where the results of the voting process will be announced and discussed.
- Recording Decisions: The outcomes of all decisions, along with a summary of discussion points from the community call, will be documented and stored on Notion for future reference and accountability.
- Implementation: Approved proposals will move to the implementation phase, which includes assigning responsibilities, allocating resources, and setting timelines. Progress on implementation will be regularly updated and reviewed in subsequent community calls.
Amendment of the Governance Process
Any changes to this governance process can be proposed and voted on using the same procedure outlined for regular decision-making. This ensures that our governance remains adaptive and responsive to the needs of the community.
Conclusion
This proposal aims to establish a clear, effective, and participatory decision-making process for Citizen Wallet. By leveraging Notion for proposal management and integrating secure voting technologies, we strive to foster an engaged and empowered community that can collectively drive the DAO towards achieving its goals.
