These reports will be conveniently delivered in a web format on the 10th of the following month. For instance, the first monthly report will cover July 2023 and will be available on August 10th. Our new reporting format introduces additional sections that aim to offer a comprehensive understanding of the Endowment’s performance. One notable inclusion is the analysis of all variations …

July DAO Voting Window [Q3/Q4 2023]

In response, the MetaGovernance working group is coordinating upcoming votes into a DAO voting window in the last week of July, after the events in Barcelona and Paris.

3. Upcoming DAO Voting Window (@5pence.eth)

@5pence.eth | ENS Profile | Twitter

• July DAO Voting Window [Q3/Q4 2023] is scheduled for the last week of July.
  • Read the forum thread for information on proposals/Votes
• Intention is for voting windows to take place in the last week of each month, enabling delegates to check in in the last week of the month for votes.
• Ultimately, anyone with 100k $ENS delegated can post an executable proposal whenever they want. To the extent a proposal moves through the governance forum, MetaGov WG stewards and alisha.eth will coordinate timing for the last week of the month.

4. Reserved for Open Discussion

Small Grants voting was discussed

• Are Ecosystem and Public Goods Working groups exploring other requirements beyond token weighted voting for small grants?
  • Minimising delegating voting events at a DAO-wide level isn’t impactful if Delegates are required to vote monthly on small grants rounds.

Telegram Proposal Feed was discussed

• There’s ongoing work to implement a proposal feed (e.g. announcements of proposals to a telegram channel). This tool comes from a recent winner of the Aragon DAO hackathon, which ENS sponsored.
  • Alisha.eth will sync with nick.eth and gregskril.eth about hosting for this tool.

Multi-Delegate Token contract was discussed

• Recently Nick shared about Muhammed/mdt.eth’s work on a Multi-Delegate Token contract in the Q2 Town Hall HERE
  • The work is close to being ready for audit, and is on track to be completed and ready this quarter.
  • ENS is pioneering this development, which will enable any token and be useful in other DAOs.
