Should we restructure the way our DAO operates?

The Decentraland DAO has been operating for over four years, and while we've celebrated many successes, our operational structure is far from being sustainable. The current state of the DAO is inefficient: decision-making is slow, funds are not always safeguarded, and we lack a cohesive long-term vision. Short-term wins and opportunistic actions have led to unnecessary spending, misalignment with the Decentraland Foundation, and, in some cases, exploitation of resources.

It's time for a reset—a comprehensive restructuring of the DAO’s operations that allows for better execution, faster decision-making, and greater accountability. This poll is a signal to the community that we must start this process now.

We have published a series of forum posts to gather early feedback, in case this poll passes. These posts outline the content of each draft proposal that could emerge from this initiative, focusing on key topics to guide the restructuring efforts. They are designed to foster constructive dialogue and help achieve consensus on the critical issues we need to address.

1. RFC - “A shared mission for the Decentraland DAO” Draft Proposal
2. RFC - “Proposal for Establishing a Council for Decentraland DAO” Draft Proposal
3. RFC - "Establishing an Executive Arm to Improve DAO Operations" Draft Proposal
4. RFC - "Deprecation of the Current Decentraland DAO Grants program and Bidding and Tendering process" Draft Proposal

This proposal takes inspiration from discussions held at the Regenesis DAO Summit and insights from Maraoz’s notes. It represents a crucial first step toward reforming the DAO to ensure its sustainability, security, and success.
