Hi all. I’m still working through some things related to the security council but wanted to at least provide some of the other revisions for now. Doing my best to have the full revised version up next week.
There were some points around endorsements and timing (@Chris_Areta @Web3Citizen). Some changes were made directly in the proposed constitution while others have been reflected in docs, and are now linked appropriately.
Revisions to Article 3, Sections 2 & 3
- Proposal Drafting and Creation Phase. DAO proposals may be created in accordance with the following process:
- Any SCR holder or Delegate meeting the specified proposal threshold (a “proposer”) may draft proposals and put them up on the Scroll DAO forum for the community’s viewing and consideration.
- A proposal shall pass a ‘temperature check’ mechanism, which requires at least three endorsements from Verified Delegates and one endorsement from the Foundation on the Scroll DAO forum, in order to proceed.
- Any proposal that does not receive the required endorsements 5 days ahead of the next voting cycle, will be considered for the subsequent voting cycle. If a project does not hit the required number of endorsements within 2 voting cycles and wants to be considered in a future voting cycle, endorsements must be attained again in the two weeks leading up to the renewed attempt.
- For example, if a proposal was posted on the forum Jan 1 and did not get the required endorsements before Jan 27th, it is not eligible for the Feb 1 vote. If it receives the remaining number of endorsements before Feb 24th (25th in leap years), then it is eligible for the Mar 1st voting cycle. If did not get enough endorsements in Feb and wants to be considered in Mar, the proposal must receive the required number of endorsements in Mar.
- After passing the temperature check the Foundation’s Governance Team may choose to include the proposal in the next voting cycle, at their sole discretion and acting in good faith.
- Voting Phase. After the proposal has been selected to be included in the next voting cycle, the voting period begins. The voting period will take place during a period of 10 days:
- Voting delay: This is a 3-day period that will occur once the proposal is first visible on the platform. Participants may acquire and delegate their votes during this period. At the end of this 3-day period, a snapshot is taken to show how much voting power each address has.
- Voting period: This is a 7-day period after the snapshot where participants can vote on the proposal.
