| Council: | The DAO Council is responsible for the initial screening of all new proposals to ensure that they are feasible, legal, and of value to the mission of the DAO.
In order for the proposal to pass the DAO Council, the following criteria must be met:
If quorum is not reached, the proposal will be queued to be discussed again at the next Council meeting.
If a proposal fails to be approved, it will be sent back to the owner of the proposal for edits before it can be submitted again.
Initially, the Council members will consist of Upstream team members. But at the end of the program, the team members will be replaced by members of the community that have been voted in through an election. | | --- | --- | | House of Members: | The House of Members consists of all active DAO members and this group will vote on all proposals that have successfully been screened by the DAO Council.
In order to pass a proposal in the House of Members, the following criteria must be met: Quorum: 25% of all active members Voting threshold: a majority of >50% of the House of Members must approve before a proposal is fully passed
If quorum is not reached, the proposal will remain active until participation reaches quorum.
If a proposal fails to be approved, it will be sent back to the owner of the proposal for edits before it can be submitted again to the DAO Council. | | DAO Admins | The DAO admins will initially consist of Upstream team members. However, upon completion of the 24-week program, elected MFD members will replace the Upstream team and assume full control over the administration of the DAO.
The role of the admins is to execute proposals after they have passed the Council and the House of Members. | | Removal of Roles | A DAO Council member can be removed if a proposal is submitted that meets the following criteria:
Council Quorum: 75% of all Council members Voting threshold: a supermajority of >75% of the Council must approve for a proposal to pass to the House of Members
The House of Members Quorum: 50% of all active members Voting threshold: a supermajority of >75% of the House of Members before the removal is officially processed
The removal proposals intentionally have higher quorum and voting thresholds given their serious nature |
