✍️DAC Proposals

Guidelines for Proposals towards The ALANA Project DAC

For role proposals, please refer to the dedicated "Roles" section.

DAC proposals are formal documents submitted to The ALANA Project, outlining a proposed change, action, or initiative that the DAC may consider. These proposals can cover various topics, such as changing the DAC's governance structure, allocating funds for specific projects, or implementing new smart contract functionalities.

DAC proposals are important for a web3 project and its community because they provide a transparent and democratic way for the community to participate in the decision-making process of The ALANA Project. By submitting a proposal, any community member can express their ideas and concerns. If the proposal is approved, it can have a significant impact on the future direction of the project.

Additionally, DAC proposals can help build a stronger and more engaged community by fostering collaboration and encouraging members to participate actively in the project. Overall, DAC proposals are an essential tool for creating a more decentralized, inclusive, and transparent web3 ecosystem, where individuals and communities can have a more significant say in the development and direction of the projects they care about.

Proposal Structure Framework

In many cases, the below-suggested framework for a proposal for The ALANA Project will be too elaborate and can obviously be kept shorter. Nonetheless, we deem it necessary to think a proposal through before putting it up for voting to make the best use of everyone's time and resources. We also would like to bring awareness to the fact that sometimes the proposal itself might be good. Still, resources might be lacking to fulfill it, so feasibility might be questionable. Either way, we encourage you to share your ideas and explore opportunities with us!
