Thank you @ENSPunks.eth, Stewards and Contributors deliberated for the entirety of the first term. Your gratitude goes a long way!
This is a great question and it’s worth having more discussion. Should the DAO penalize its members for having been convicted of a crime? I think it depends on the infraction and should be considered on a case by case basis. For example, if a member was convicted of money laundering, they should probably not be allowed to become a Steward, but it should not bar them from being an active participant in the DAO (although we probably won’t trust them anymore anyway).
The reason I am suggesting the concept of Dynamic Proposals, or proposals that should be revised bi-annually, is for this exact reason. We don’t know what instances will occur that should induce the DAO to take punitive or rehabilitative measures against a member. As our DAO matures, we should take our learnings and revise the CoC as we see fit.
Thank you! It was really a Community effort, there are a ton of contributors that contributed to the creation of this document. I have a list of those people and I will be sure to give praise where praise is due, should this CoC be passed!
@KLeong I noticed your comment on the CoC in your nomination proposal. I invite you to review and share feedback on this proposed CoC. I plan to push this proposal to a vote on snapshot before the end of the month. Please note that several members of the ENS DAO have been diligently working on this proposal for the past 4 months, we have taken a very careful approach. Thus, Community members are generally aligned behind the existing proposal. That being said, I really would enjoy your feedback as I respect your background and believe you can bring an added insight to the existing proposal.
