When the DAO was formed, a core team created a structure of committees and assigned leadership roles based on the skills of those who dedicated themselves to build out the organization. These committees are able to operate as autonomous functions and act with agility on activities aligned with the DAO’s goals. With the inclusion of REP, there is now a system where committee heads can distribute incentives, enabling them to officially build out teams as needed by identifying needs and staffing workloads accordingly.

With the growth of the organization and the scope of its ambitions (and the start of a new leadership term, per the elections proposal), a new organizational structure needs to be enacted. The proposed core team structure incorporates the results of the elections and distributes decision-making to leaders based on their expressed interests and demonstrated track records.

Head of Strategy: Roberto Talamas Head of Partnerships: Kyle Krasicky Head of Engineering: Jon Gregis Head of Innovation: Joseph Fluckiger Head of DAO Relations: Mason Lynaugh Head of Education: Jesse Paterson Head of Membership: Ruwan Perera Head of Legal Affairs: Shane Boasberg Head of Community: Ryan Harvey Head of Events: Mitch Morales Head of Public Policy Research: Michael Weaver

Compared to the original DAO core team structure, there have been some notable changes:

1. ‘Co-chairs’ have been removed. Engineering will be led by one person and membership has been broken out into three distinct categories
   1. Strategy: organizational vision
   2. Community: community engagement
   3. Membership: member management
2. There are four new core contributor positions
   1. Events: planning and execution of large-scale productions
   2. Public Policy Research: management of an ATX DAO Think Tank, responsible for producing policy ideas and reports
   3. DAO Relations: strategic marketing and public relations. Because Events has been broken into its own committee, Marketing activities are rolled into this position.
   4. Innovation: identifying and executing on innovation opportunities in order to optimize processes and improve the DAO.
3. Operations and Treasury have been frozen until further notice
   1. Non-differentiating operational tasks and accounting practices will be handled by a paid Operations Manager
   2. Activities involving sensitive information will be handled by Head of Strategy and other official core team members
   3. DAO members interested in Head of Treasury or Head of Operations should reach out to the core team
