Types of Proposals

Governance proposals outside of Working Group Session Proposals (WGSP) will be referred to as omgkirby DAO Governance Improvement Proposals (omg-GIP). In this initial iteration of the Lite Paper, proposals are divided into four different types: Low impact - Reversible; Low impact - Irreversible Proposal; High Impact - Reversible Proposal; High Impact - Irreversible Proposals. Low impact proposals are resolved through informal dialogue and voting in Discord. Working Group formation and high impact proposals are resolved through off-chain snapshot voting. The following section will be used as a starting point for workshopping to be completed by the DAO Operations Working Group during the upcoming Working Group Session 2.

1. Low Threshold

   1. Low impact - Reversible Proposal: These decisions do not need a time and resource intensive process and must be optimized for speed. Since these decisions are the easiest way to encourage engagement within the broader DAO Community, the decision-making process is kept lean and virtually friction-less. There is no required quorum for proposals in this category, which are considered “Approved” if they are supported by at least 51% of participating voting power. The proposal may then move on for execution. Proposals of this category are relatively informal, and conducted off-chain via discord. Discussion Prompt for WGS2: In the context of omgKirby DAO, what type of decisions would fall under this category?

1-3 line proposal put forward to the community on Discord ↓ Discussion open for 24-36 hours during which community members can comment, make suggestions for refinement of proposal ↓ The original poster(s) may then refine the proposal to take into account community’s suggestion and post a clearly defined brief proposal on the dedicated Discord channel for this decision category for the community to vote on ↓ Voting is open for 24-48 hours and during this time the community votes For/Against through reaction emoji ↓ The proposal is Approved or Rejected. Results are announced and the proposal is implemented.

1. Medium to High Threshold

   1. Low impact - Irreversible Proposal: Due to their low-impact nature, decisions under this category do not warrant a lengthy process. However, it is important to optimize them for both cost and quality since they make an irreversible use of the DAO’s resources. These decisions may act as an initial engagement pathway for community members who want to lead initiatives but do not have prior experience of doing so. Low impact initiatives are capped at <3% (placeholder %) of the total DAO treasury and require the members initiating the motion to put forward an omgkirby DAO Governance Governance Improvement Proposal (omg-GIP)

1. High Impact - Reversible Proposal: Decisions that fall under this category offer maximum opportunity for exploration, creative experimentation, and research on the DAO’s evolution. Therefore, these must be optimized for both agility and quality. Members introducing initiatives under this category must put forward a Working Group Session Proposal (WGSP) during a Working Group Application period.. If accepted, these proposals are executed through Working Groups comprising DAO contributors who are accountable to the broader DAO community. Lessons learned through these session initiatives are captured and shared to feed into subsequent iterative cycles.

Discussion Prompt for WGS2: In the context of omgKirby DAO, what type of decisions would fall under this category? And what voting thresholds should we have?

Stage 1: Temperature Check A White version of omg-GIP is sent to the community on Discord to gauge general interest. Community members have 24-36 hours to indicate whether they think this proposal should be formally voted on through emoji reaction on Discord. ↓ Stage 2: Open Discussion If the White proposal receives enough engagement and if the majority of these voters say the proposal should be voted on, the proposal enters an open discussion phase. During this time the community discusses the contents of the proposal in greater detail, suggests amendments, raises concerns. ↓ Stage 3: Revision The original poster(s) may then refine the proposal to take into account community’s suggestions and post a detailed omg-GIP on Snapshot for voting ↓ Stage 4: Voting Voting on Snapshot is open and during this time the community votes For/ Against/ Abstain. 1 NFT/PFP= 1 Vote ↓ Stage 5: Results The proposal is Approved or Rejected. Results are announced.

1. High Impact - Irreversible Proposals: Decisions that impact the fundamental structure or protocols within the DAO fall under this category. These critical proposals undergo the most rigorous decision-making process which is carefully designed to ensure inclusivity, and due diligence and minimize hijacking. Critical omg-GIPs need to be solutioned by a working group of DAO Contributors and approved by the DAO Committee before they can be voted on by the DAO Community. These proposals need a high threshold of ⅔ majority of participating voting power, along with ⅔ majority DAO Committee ratification to pass.

Discussion Prompt for WGS2: In the context of omgKirby DAO, what type of decisions would fall under this category?

From a Community Member Informal discord discussion and temperature check A non-binding governance poll by a community member (on snapshot) that must pass with a simple majority of participating voting power, TBD, to be considered for a omg-GIP; OR From a Working Group Informal discord discussion and temperature check, sharing consensus from within working group (roadmap, discussion on intra-working group decision-making process) Submit formal omg-GIP Continuing from either process-line Active omg-GIP is discussed during community Town Hall. omg-GIP is voted on by omgkirby DAO Community on Snapshot. DAO Committee must Ratify passed proposal (This final step to be discussed further in DAO Operations Working Group, to determine best pathways forward, should DAO committee be opposed to the omg-GIP. It can be placed either before or after the previous step). omg-GIP must include a brief impact and implementation pathway assessment to be considered for final submission. (medium level and pre-proposal polls, do not require this).

An overview of the proposal process can be found in the table below, depicting the four levels of proposals. During WGS2, the DAO Operations Working Group will review these types of proposals and formalize the governing process for low threshold, low impact proposals and more importantly, omgkirby DAO Governance Improvement Proposals (omg-GIP).

	Proposal Category	Process	Purpose	Voting Threshold
Low impact - Irreversible Proposal	Low Threshold	Brief proposal is shared on Discord Community votes For/Against the proposal on Discord through reaction emoji	To encourage engagement within the broader DAO Community	TBD - WGS2
Low impact - Irreversible Proposal	Medium Threshold	Member proposed Governance Improvement Proposal is temperature checked on Discord Revisions are made to the proposal following a period of open discussion on Discord Proposal is voted on Snapshot (1 NFT/PFP= 1 Vote)	To facilitate initial engagement pathways for community members who want to lead initiatives but do not have prior experience of doing so	TBD - WGS2
High Impact - Reversible Proposal	Medium Threshold	Member proposed Governance Improvement Proposal is temperature checked on Discord Revisions are made to the proposal following a period of open discussion on Discord Proposal is voted on Snapshot (1 NFT/PFP= 1 Vote)	To create maximum opportunity for exploration, creative experimentation, and research on the DAO’s evolution	TBD - WGS2
High Impact - Irreversible Proposals	High Threshold	An informal Discord discussion and temperature check is initiated either by a Community member or Working Group A formal omg-GIP is submitted and discussed in a Townhall omg-GIP is voted on Snapshot DAO Committee ratifies the passed proposal	To alter/improve/design fundamental structure or protocols within the DAO	TBD - WGS2
