Governance Department
Governance is everyone's responsibility; this mantra has never been more true. However, some members believe we need to establish a department that coordinates governance activities. The rationale behind this idea is that increased efficiency and proper/timely implementation would be achieved if we have a dedicated department that is fully focused on stewarding this aspect of the DAO. The Governance Department will most likely become a reality in Season 7. There’s no precedent for the creation of a department without a pre-existing guild, but the proposal includes a breakdown of the financial implications and seasonal KPIs for your consideration.
Quorum Requirements
What should be the standard quorum for grant proposals and bDIPs? The bDIP 01 aimed to correct the inconsistencies in grant proposal requirements in terms of what was captured in the Constitution versus what was in use by the Grants Committee. The proposal and subsequent Snapshot vote ensured that the Constitution delegates authority to the Grants Committee to set appropriate quorum requirements for grant proposals each season.
In Season 7, we’ll see further activity around quorum requirements, especially for bDIPs — which are proposals to change the Constitution. A new proposal, bDIP 03, suggests we allow for a dynamic approach to setting quorum for bDIPs. The current static thresholds do not account for fluctuations in the number of active contributors through bull and bear cycles. This proposal suggests a dynamic quorum be based on a 30-day average formula. Would this be the best way to go in Season 7 and beyond, or does using a formula leave the process prone to errors? Have your say on this idea.
Shielded Voting on Snapshot
When a token-weighted vote is in progress on Snapshot, users can view the cumulative results, creating the potential for existing results to influence the decision of new voters. No one likes to be the one that stands out like a sore thumb, right? This is obviously detrimental to governance activities, as new voters may simply vote with the majority instead of expressing their true sentiment.
There is currently a proposal to implement shielded voting, a new feature on Snapshot, whereby the results are not available until the poll closes. As a test, shielded voting has been implemented for the current Grants Committee election. While this form of shielded voting is still in its experimental phase on Snapshot, there is community inclination implement it fully in Season 7.
Coordinated Timing Across the DAO
During the season, there were discussions around what time zone the DAO should be aligned to. The Constitution does not specify a standard, and time disruptions occur at the change to Daylight Saving Time in certain regions of the world. We are a global organization, and it is only appropriate that we are aligned to a time zone that is globally accepted.
With the passage of this bDIP in Snapshot, the DAO will now officially operate according to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This change will likely only be evident for guilds and departments that did not previously align their timing to UTC. Though seemingly a minor change, this will go a long way towards ensuring efficiency in the DAO's operations and seeing to it that we operate with a global perspective.
