DAO Newsletter
The ENS DAO Newsletter is a recurring, twice-monthly summary published on the 1st and 15th of each month, featuring the latest developments across ENS Labs, ENS DAO, and the broader ENS community. Since its inception, it has become a core source of consistent, informative updates that keep key stakeholders well informed.
- Forum: Public Access
Proposals
Proposals are how changes are made to the DAO’s status quo. They can be submitted by anyone meeting the required $ENS thresholds and are voted on by delegates based on their token holdings. If a proposal reaches quorum and passes, it is ratified and implemented.
Sign up for notifications via Telegram.
Proposal Bulletin
Regularly check the Proposal Bulletin for updates and detailed information on each proposal.
For detailed governance information, refer to the Governance Documentation.

Meta-Governance in Term 7
In Term 7, governance is centered on the Meta-Governance Working Group, now the DAO’s sole operational working group. Its responsibilities include governance oversight, DAO operations, proposal process support, working group and term transition administration, signer and multisig operations, and governance security coordination.
The Term 7 elected Meta-Governance stewards are:
- netto.eth
- sovereignsignal.eth
- abdullahumar.eth
Security Council
The ENS Security Council is a narrowly scoped emergency body. Its role is to cancel a malicious queued proposal during the timelock delay window. It is not a general-purpose governance executor.
Learn more about the Security Council.
Getting Work Done
Governance work and execution move through several channels depending on the task, including discussion and coordination on the forum, proposal development through governance-docs, funding and treasury operations through governed executable proposals, and recurring Meta-Gov operational workflows documented in the runbook.
