P-8: Genesis NFT == non-voting membership

Authors: dabit3, kempsterrrr, marc

Summary

This proposal ratifies this forum vote which shows clear community support for “Allow the NFT to give Discord access while keeping the snapshot for governance token issuance.”

Motivation

At the genesis of Developer DAO, membership and governance rights were tied to ownership of our Genesis NFT. On the final public mint from the original contact, the decision was taken by the Core Team to suspend new membership based on NFT ownership in an effort to ensure speculators on the NFT would not be rewarded in the airdrop of our upcoming governance token, $CODE.

Community feedback was clear that there was a consensus for this decision and that holding the NFT, regardless of how this was attained, should still provide individuals with access to the Community.

Once the governance token exists, snapshot voting will be converted to utilize that token; the Genesis NFT will no longer convey voting rights, but still provide full access to the community on Discord.

Scope of work

Correct all messaging regarding the NFT not providing DAO membership and ensure any token gating in the future includes wallets that hold this token as well as the new governance token $CODE when launched.
