DAO Processes that are not automated

• All guild members need to get Discord badges:
  • Periodicity: each 6 months or earlier in the case of resignations
  • Badges: X Guild committee, threshodler, snapshot user, snapshot admin, X Guild
  • These badges grant committee members to access different channels in Discord.
• All guild members are Snapshot Authors:
  • Periodicity: each 6 months or earlier in the case of resignations
  • This involves the Snapshot controller having to introduce the changes manually to Snapshot
• All council members + each guild’s chairperson are Snapshot Admins:
  • Periodicity: each 6 months or earlier in the case of resignations
  • This involves the Snapshot controller having to introduce the changes manually to Snapshot
• The DAO issues the Discord badge ‘threshodler’ to people well involved with the DAO activities:
  • Periodicity: ad-hoc, revised in case of obvious absence and bad behaviour.
• For communication purposes, we have 2 main telegram groups for the DAO, where its membership needs also to be managed:
  • Periodicity: each 6 months or earlier in the case of resignations
  • Involves the telegram admin to remove - add the persons each time.
• Some contributors are moderators and admins for the governance forum:
  • Periodicity: ad-hoc, revised in case of resignation of members.
• The DAO social media is managed by a small group of key contributors:
  • Twitter, Reddit, CMC social profile, Telegram, etc.
  • Periodicity: ad-hoc, revised in case of resignation of members.
  • Currently, we need to share the credentials among ourselves to manage the profiles, and a person or email address hold the control here (usually via 2AF).
• Multisigs: each guild member participates in the guild’s multisig, where its budget is managed and authorisations and signatures are generated.
  • Currently managing the multisigs and getting timely signatures from the members is a slow process that require several days to achieve.
  • When the elections take place (each 6 months), the handover process also takes a lengthy time, involving removal or swapping transactions to accommodate the new members and remove the outgoing members.
  • Similar process is needed for the Threshold Council, with 1-year periodicity.

Other Systems and Tools Commonly Used By the DAO

• Delegates: To be able to participate in Threshold’s Governance, the vote weight has to be delegated. We currently have a delegates dashboard in the testing phase, that needs minor adjustments to move to production.
• DAO tools: currently we have the following main DAO tools:
  • Notion - managed and owned by the DAO
  • blog - managed by Thesis, where several DAO people have author access / admin rights
  • GitHub - 3 repositories
  • GitBook - 2 repositories?
