AIP-14: Addition of Two Proposers via Snapshot Vote
Summary
To improve AssangeDAO’s governance responsiveness and allow for more decentralized proposal creation, this proposal recommends appointing two new proposers from a group of trusted community contributors. The final selection will be made through a community-wide Snapshot vote.
Rationale
Currently, AssangeDAO’s governance process has been hindered by a lack of active proposers, restricting proposal publication and slowing down important community decisions. With the recent revitalization of forum-based governance (via AIP-12), it’s critical that we empower trusted contributors with proposer access to ensure open and regular proposal flow.
This proposal seeks to formally elect two new proposers via Snapshot from a shortlist of active contributors drawn from past GTU candidates and members. Their participation will improve governance continuity, distribute responsibility, and invite wider community engagement.
Responsibilities of Proposers
- Post proposals on Snapshot that meet minimum formatting and community discussion criteria.
- Provide guidance to other community members on proposal formatting and clarity.
- Stay responsive in governance discussions on the forum and Discord.
- Help maintain a transparent and effective governance process.
Term and Removal Conditions
- Term: 2 years, renewable via re-election.
- Voluntary Resignation: Proposer may step down with notice.
- Removal by Community Vote (via Snapshot):
- Prolonged inactivity (60+ days without cause)
- Misconduct or violation of DAO principles
- Behavior inconsistent with the mission and values of AssangeDAO
