Governance Proposal : Future of the AN DAO Charter

I believe the questions should be reframed for the vote. Right now reactions are being given prior to having clarified the meaning of each option, so we may not even be reacting to the same thing as one another, which seems apparent from the many unique interpretations.

Framing these questions from a legal or “wet code” perspective doesn’t capture the on-chain or “dry code” reality, or vice versa, which is causing confusion and parallel interpretations. From the discussion, and explained in my previous comments, neither “dissolving” nor “forking” are descriptive enough, so let’s just drill down onto the specific actions. I also agree with the above comments that Yes/No majority votes are cleaner signals than multi-choice.

Assumptions derived from first principles:

  • We have to deploy a new DAO that supports the requirements specified in the fund transfer proposal, as Aragon Govern does not support delegation. The fund transfer will be directed to that newly deployed DAO.
  • The AN DAO’s current deployments, due to immutability, cannot possibly be dissolved.

Given these points, there is no need to make a proposal about deploying a new DAO, as the fund transfer already passed, and thus, this is already a requirement. We do though need to figure out what we do with the wet law and each cultural “artifact” of the AN DAO. I believe that the following questions address the most significant ones independently from one another, and leaving operational matters to be addressed afterwards:

Question 1 - Do we terminate the AN DAO Charter?

  • Yes
  • No

Question 2 - Irrespective of the decision to terminate the AN DAO Charter, do we write a new charter with a new governance design that is compatible with our needs for delegated voting?

  • Yes
  • No

Question 3 - Do we transfer the balances of all AN DAO treasuries to the Aragon Association multisig prior to the transfer of funds to a new DAO?

  • Yes
  • No
