Title of Proposal: BDIP-2: Proposal Jury Internal Rules and Guidelines Category: DAO Structure Submitted by: 0xA3231aAf91f64c3Dd67CbC316CCfb9b655b56584 Proposal Submission Date: October 21, 2022 Idea Post Date: October 7, 2022

Abstract

With the passage of the DAOstitution and the formation of the Proposal Jury as one of the two main DAO institutions, there is now a need to better clarify and delineate its powers and responsibilities through guidelines and regulations that would facilitate integrity and accountability within the DAO. The purpose of this set of rules is to provide clarity in the proposal process, which may have been left broad and flexible in the DAOstitution, as well as structure and organization to the Proposal Jury's internal activities and operations.

Rationale

The DAOstitution, like the traditional constitutions and charters of countries around the world, was not designed to be an all-encompassing rule book that would be able to anticipate every scenario and situation. In the case of the Proposal Jury, some aspects of the constitutional rules were left intentionally broad and flexible so that the Jury itself could exercise autonomy in decision-making and rule-making. Moreover, it sought to enable future juries to become more adaptable in terms of performing their powers and functions. As the DAO continues to grow and move forward, the aim is to operationalize this flexibility and allow the Jury to modify certain aspects or matters of the rules through democratic voting mechanisms. Thus, to implement this, there was a need to create a more specific set of internal rules and guidelines (“IRG”) for the Proposal Jury to follow so that it would be able to achieve these goals of autonomy and adaptability. Through this IRG, the DAO will set expectations and standards for how the Proposal Jury will perform its role and meet its responsibilities in supporting the DAO and promoting participation among the token holders. In fact, the proposal to pass the IRG itself is a test of the DAO’s ethos of democratic participation as it seeks to vote and deliberate upon a proposal for a set of rules for a DAO institution specifically created for the same exact purpose. By doing this, the DAO takes a step forward to further decentralization and security for the DAO and its proponents.
