This proposal defines VitaCore to consist of four stakeholder groups who are accountable to VITA token holders.

Summary

This proposal introduces a definition of the concept of "VitaCore", specifying four stakeholder groups: Working group stewards and co-stewards, ambassadors of service providers, ambassadors of partner DAOs and strategic contributors.

Motivation

From VitaDAO’s inception and even before Genesis, a group of highly involved contributors helped oversee the objectives and coordinate activities across working groups, the community and external stakeholders. This group became known as “VitaCore” and continues to keep the DAO productive to date. However, the concept of VitaCore is loosely defined and not well documented, hence the need for a governance proposal defining VitaCore.

Specification

We propose to define VitaCore as an advisory committee that represents various groups of VitaDAO stakeholders. As such, VitaCore does not have any individual members, but individuals who are part of a certain stakeholder group.

To start with, these stakeholder groups are:

• Group 1: Working Group Stewards and Co-Stewards
• Group 2: Ambassadors of actively and significantly contributing Service Providers (currently Molecule GmbH and decentralized MATTER B.V.)
• Group 3: Ambassadors of VitaDAO’s partner DAOs (currently labDAO)
• Group 4: Representatives from strategic contributors (currently none, TBD.)

Further stakeholder groups may be added in the future.

It goes without saying that the concept of VitaCore is accountable to VitaDAO’s token holders who defined the scope of VitaCore’s executive power over operational decisions in VDP-6 and may refine these at any time in a new governance proposal. In that sense, holders of VITA are represented in VitaCore, but they are the overseeing and superior entity that governs VitaCore through proposals. Current initiatives around introducing OKRs, publishing a treasury report and other transparency initiatives will make it significantly more convenient for token holders to do so.

Implementation

If this proposal passes, we will publish a post (on Discourse, Medium, the website or another appropriate place) to make the list of stakeholder groups and their individual members permanently available . If not already done, we will also introduce Discord tags for each of these stakeholder groups.
