DAOstar One Governance
How to vote
- Join the Metagov Discord (https://discord.gg/psSqZqBN) and go to the #daostar-one channel. Ping @Josh, who will assign you a role corresponding to your organization.
- Use the emoji corresponding to your organization to vote “Yes” to any vote. E.g. :aragon: if you belong to Aragon.
- If you’re not part of an organization, just use 👍 or 👎 to register sentiment.
For now, these are just sentiment checks. We’ll design quorum and pass rules at a future metagovernance meeting. For more context, see:
How Voting Works in DAOstar One
Who gets to vote
If you represent an organization, and your organization is listed on the roundtable page at daostar.one, then you get to vote.
There is a maximum of 100 custom emojis per Discord server, so there is a currently maximum of 100 voting organizations in DAOstar One.

Purpose of the DAO [WIP]
Possibilities:
- Organize events, support collaborations between DAOstar participants
- Foster social coherence of the DAOstar One community and of the larger DAO ecosystem
- Handle money / grants
- Support on-chain voting on new standards?
- Align incentives across competing frameworks + tools in order to support joint initiatives (including standards adoption).
- Support communication & collaboration between members of the DAO.
- Support the DAO ecosystem through public goods funding and investments.
- Support and govern the current standards development process, as well as future, non-Ethereum standards.
- Dogfood the DAO standard.
- Construct a massive DAOray that can float around and DAOify companies like FB.
From discussion at roundtable #1
- Process for selecting the DAO framework
- Option 1: throw a die, decide the framework randomly
- Option 2: focus on the minimal DAO
- Option 3: find the framework that fits our needs (what are we voting on? managing capital? what size? who gets to vote?)
- Spencer: As soon as a multisig expands beyond 10 members, to me it ceases to be a DAO. For a group of this size, we're a little too big for a multisig. Too much coordination to move beyond a safe threshold.
- Josh + Spencer: we will likely need to manage on-chain funds, if only for the gas fees. Also, we will very likely be creating a bunch of DAOs (in all frameworks) as part of the standards research, so these will exist no matter what.
- Sam: we need a voting solution. Can go with Snapshot or Aragon Voice or Tally as the first step. Then evolve.
- Auryn: at this stage it's more about the discussion than about formal tools. If we are about to vote, probably just Snapshot. But we first have to make a bunch of preliminary decisions on what stuff to vote on and who gets to vote. Just Telegram or a forum is good enough for now.
- Tally: don't know if anyone is interested in dogfooding an open-source product we're working on, but it's giving leaderless orgs a way of getting to more narrow ideas. While we are big fans of Compound, but it would be great to not pay $10-15 per decision. Lightweight would be great!
- Zargham: DAOness is not dependent on the smart contract. At this stage, we need a DAO that is a coordinating group. For me this begs questions about definitions. If we found that we perpetually only needed decisions through tools / zoom, to what extent does that DAO term reside on that organization.
