Utilizing DAO-Owned Land Parcels

Summary

To establish an accessible process that allows any community member to request temporary access to DAO-owned land parcels for the purpose of learning, building, and creative exploration, fostering greater engagement and growth within Decentraland.

Abstract

Program Overview

1. Open Access for All: Any community member can request temporary access to land parcels to experiment with building and participate in creative activities, regardless of experience level. 2.Short-Term Usage: Users can receive access for a limited period (e.g., 3, 6, 12 months) with options for extension based on activity and engagement.

Conditions and Requirements

1. Simple Application: Users submit a straightforward application expressing their intention to use the land.
2. Responsible Land Use: Applicants agree to maintain the land in good condition and ensure their builds are removed or transitioned after their usage period ends. 3.Adherence to Decentraland Terms of Service (TOS): All users must comply with Decentraland's TOS. Improper use or violation of these terms may result in access to the land being revoked.

Motivation

Benefits of the Program:

1.* Promotes Learning*: Supports users in learning and practicing building without needing initial land ownership. 2. Community Growth: Encourages a broader range of community participation, enriching Decentraland with diverse projects and ideas. 3.* Active Parcels*: Keeps DAO-owned land in active use, showcasing ongoing community creativity.

Specification

Application Process:

1. Proposal Submission: Community members submit a simplified proposal through the DAO platform, detailing their name/username, contact information, intended use of the land, planned activities, and requested duration (up to 3 months).
2. Acknowledgment: Applicants must agree to maintain the land, comply with Decentraland's Terms of Service (TOS), and acknowledge that improper usage may lead to revocation of access

Access and Usage Terms:

1. Temporary Access: Approved users will receive access to specific DAO-owned land parcels for a set period (up to 3, 6, or 12 months), with the potential for extension based on the level of activity and engagement.
2. Responsible Use: Users must ensure that the land is maintained in good condition and that all builds are removed or appropriately transitioned at the end of the usage period.
3. Compliance: All activities must adhere to Decentraland's TOS to maintain community standards and platform integrity. Violations can result in immediate access revocation.

Operational Oversight:

1. Approval Process: Proposals are subject to review and community voting through the DAO, ensuring transparency and fairness.
2. Feedback and Monitoring: During the usage period, users are encouraged to provide feedback on their experience. The DAO may monitor land usage to ensure compliance and proper engagement.

Outcomes and Post-Use:

1. Build Removal: Users are responsible for clearing their projects after the usage period ends or working with the DAO for potential migration if further use is desired.
2. Evaluation for Extensions: If users wish to continue using the parcel beyond the initial period, they must submit a request for extension outlining continued use and progress.

Program Support:

1. Guidance for New Users: Resources, tutorials, or mentorship may be offered to new builders to help them maximize their learning experience.
2. Community Engagement: Approved projects are encouraged to engage with the broader Decentraland community through events, showcases, or collaborative efforts.

**Example of Proposal Template for Land Useage Application. **

Title of Proposal: (e.g., “Request for Temporary Access to Learn Building”)

Applicant Information: Name/Username: Contact Details (e.g., email or wallet address):

Intended Use: Purpose: A brief explanation of why you are requesting access (e.g., “I want to practice building in Decentraland and learn SDK tools.”) Planned Activities: General activities you plan to engage in (e.g., “Create small builds and experiment with interactive features.”)

Duration of Access: Requested duration (e.g., “Up to 2 months”)

Acknowledgment: A statement agreeing to maintain the land and clear builds after the access period ends. Acknowledgment of adherence to Decentraland's TOS and an understanding that improper usage may result in revoked access.

Example Statement: "I, [username], am requesting temporary access to a DAO-owned parcel for 2 months to practice building and learn the design tools in Decentraland. I agree to maintain the land, adhere to Decentraland's Terms of Service, and remove my builds after my access period. I understand that improper usage may result in access being revoked."

Conclusion

Conclusion:

This proposal aims to create a simplified, accessible program that grants temporary access to DAO-owned land parcels for community members interested in learning, building, and creative exploration. By lowering the entry barriers and encouraging more participation, the program will empower users to develop their skills, contribute innovative content, and engage with the Decentraland community. This initiative will not only support personal and community growth but also ensure that DAO-owned land remains active, productive, and aligned with Decentraland’s values of inclusivity and creativity. Adherence to Decentraland’s Terms of Service and responsible use will help maintain a secure and vibrant ecosystem.

It is important to note that a separate proposal will address the deployment of Sandstorm builds as filler content on the DAO-owned parcels. This will ensure that all land parcels, whether used temporarily by the community or showcasing funded projects, contribute to a lively and engaging Decentraland experience. This proposal invites the community to support this initiative, fostering an environment where everyone has the opportunity to learn, create, and thrive within Decentraland.
