Beyond Code is Law: A Workshop on DAO Constitutions
For all Guests: the door is locked, but we will pick you up if you text in this group: https://t.me/+-5FNNjSZ_fg1NWYx
At the heart of every DAO is its community and the chosen governance structure that guides its decision-making. It can be argued that the primary purpose of a DAO is to collectively govern the activities of its members.
Although DAOs have traditionally relied on smart contracts and informal social governance structures, many have begun to formalize their decision-making processes by creating "DAO Constitutions": written rule sets that serve as a foundation for their decision-making.
In this workshop, we will address the fundamental question that arises when setting up a DAO constitution:
Does your DAO require a constitution?
Active sharing workshop participants’ experience is encouraged. The goal is to have a live discussion, share (painful) learnings and alert DAO contributors to the risks and opportunities that DAO constitutions bring.
There will be food.
Presenters
In the context of this workshop, a “Constitution” will be a document that lays out the rules by which decisions in the DAO shall be made. A constitution thereby goes beyond more informal descriptions of intent like a “manifesto” or white paper.
