Thesis

Ratify updates to the DAO’s Governance Process:

• Clarify DAO members’ voting rights throughout various stages.

• Clarify process for conflicting proposals.

• Formally include Snapshot delegation.

• Specify effective date for proposals.

• Small updates throughout.

Motivation

The Governance Process currently has some ambiguities. Although these ambiguities have not yet led to any conflict, our Governance Process should accurately reflect our day-to-day practices to avoid potential controversies.

Specification

• Ratify this governance process: https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmWkf5yW2gmhbdZoXTLxTDvMJNMFqBT5A8rD19EvVnjhyr

• Update Governance Process at https://info.juicebox.money/dao/process

• Update other documentation accordingly.

• Follow the updated governance process.

Rationale

• More recent proposals should take precedence as they are more likely to accurately represent the DAO’s present wishes.

• Proposals which receive more affirmative votes should take precedence over proposals with lower engagement, as they are more likely to represent the wishes of the DAO.

• The effective date of proposals should be clear to give executors confidence and prevent any misinterpretations.

Risks

A controversial proposal with high engagement might take precedence over a less controversial proposal with lower engagement if they conflict and are approved in the same funding cycle.

Timeline

The updated governance process should take effect upon this proposal’s Snapshot approval.
