OCP-16: Open Campus DAO Council Elections Cohort 3

## ABSTRACT

This document outlines the proposal for the third election of the Open Campus DAO council. From July 2nd 2025, EDU Token holders will have a 7-day window to vote FOR or AGAINST the proposed council candidates via the Open Campus DAO snapshot.

MOTIVATION

To maintain the constitutional guidelines of the Open Campus DAO as outlined in OCP-1, it is specified that the inaugural council will serve a nine-month term, with subsequent councils serving 12-month terms. With the second term coming to an end, we must proceed to elect a new council for the upcoming 12 months.

These regular elections are crucial for ensuring that our council members remain actively engaged in fostering the growth of the Open Campus ecosystem and in upholding the core values of the Open Campus DAO.

SPECIFICATION

“Council” is a group of five individuals elected by the Tokenholders through a Completed Proposal as per these Bylaws to help the Board with the implementation of Proposals and manage other matters as directed by the Tokenholders.

The Council’s role is to manage Proposals and uphold the community’s vision. Council members are expected to review past Proposals to avoid duplicating failed ones.

The first Council will serve for nine months. Future Councils will serve for twelve months.

Tokenholders will vote to choose the next Council members. Any Token holders who wish to be Council members must announce their interest in the Governance Forum at least thirty days before the vote.

A Council member can be removed and replaced before their term ends if the Tokenholders pass a Completed Proposal to do so.

The Council is established to administer Proposals and serve the vision of the community of Tokenholders.

The third cohort of the Open Campus Council will serve a 12-month term starting Jul 23, providing that the OCP-16 DAO proposal is approved by the Tokenholders.

Two months before the conclusion of this term, Tokenholders will be asked to vote for the third cohort of the Open Campus Council.

OCP-16 will be live on the Open Campus DAO snapshot from July 2nd 2025 for 7 days where token holders can vote FOR or AGAINST the proposed candidates.
