Is AIP-12: _AssangeDAO Governance Transition Process_ still being considered? Where should the forum discuss it?

AssangeDAO and one of the volunteers posted about it [on Telegram](https://t.me/Real_AssangeDAO/283/5491) and [Twitter](https://x.com/AssangeDAO/status/1819730709269110886) last month

> Earlier today we managed to finish the proposal for AIP-12: _AssangeDAO Governance Transition Process_.
> 
> Please feel free to check it out. The forum should hopefully be returning soon, from what I understand, which is where the official discussion for this proposal would take place, in accordance with our pre-existing governance framework.

Let’s follow the process and go ahead step by step to the real governance.

I’m not sure what the process is now.

Does it need to be discussed on the Forum? Do people talk about it here? Does it need to be “officially” submitted by one of the multisigs or AIP proposers, or is the Telegram proposal enough?

</div>

The current process what Stella’s draft suggest is once the forum works, then we can discuss the draft here. And the forum should be the official place to make proposal and vote or any other thing. That’s my understanding.

I think you’re right @JaneW, but I don’t know if that draft is still being considered, or if it’s been updated or replaced. I think it’s the latest proposal.

What do people think? I like most of it and think it’s the best next step for the DAO, but don’t know what wants from the transition, or where they want things to be after the transition

</div>

If no other new announcement of the process then we follow the draft first. As I can see, the draft is made by most of the multisig and Gabriel also work for the process, so I suggest we just follow the draft and start our new journey.

I hope the multisigs and volunteers clarify soon, or that someone knows where to start.

I saw support in Telegram when it was posted, but I guess the first step is finding out what people think about it now

When will the long-awaited governance be implemented? Can it be accelerated? All members of the community are waiting hard.

What multisigs are left?

Stella is stepping away?

> Hello all, I am going through some things in life right now when it comes to spiritually confronting the state of the world, that I need to address, so I wanted to let you know I won’t be able to participate in the DAO anymore for now. I wish...

But wasn’t a multisig?

> I was not a multisig signer. I’ve quit my current consulting job as well right now due to my life changes, and have to focus energies on earning earth credits to survive in material reality more aligned with my soul purpose, so it’s not easy for me...

So who is? Who can vote and decide??

What Silke said about the process

> Meaning, posting in forum, temp check there, and then snapshot. I think it is a bit early to ask Gabriel on the assumption this passes. Several people are against it, and there is need to discuss this somewhere less ephemeral than here on telegram,...

How do snapshots work? Does there need to be an “official” temperature check? How long do we give it?

@michael can this be moved to governance?

</div>

I still like the proposal, so long as anyone from the GTU vetoing things can’t be done anonymously. If they need to veto, they need to answer to the DAO and try to explain why

I have never read of any objection to this proposal. Therefore the first two actionable parts should be voted on ASAP.

Agreed. Where are the multisigs? Why isn’t this going to a vote?
