GIP-107: Should the GnosisDAO form, in addition to the Gnosis Asset Holdings I Foundation, a legal conduit to continue to foster Gnosis´ decentralization goals?

The GnosisDAO (the “DAO”) approved, with the successful passage of GIP-94, the establishment of a legal conduit, Gnosis Asset Holdings I Foundation, which was set up to onboard Centrifuge Prime (as described in GIP-94) and to also hold other illiquid investments, including those made historically by the Gnosis Builders as described in GIP-96.

This proposal intends to seek a vote from the DAO to establish another legal conduit, the Gnosis Operations Foundation (the “Foundation”), to provide the DAO with an additional mechanism for executing work in a decentralized environment.
