Term 6 Proposal Bulletin
About the Proposal Bulletin
The Proposal Bulletin provides updates on recent ENS DAO proposals. Its primary objective is to inform community members about the nature, status, and outcomes of both social and executable proposals under consideration or recently concluded.
By consolidating this information, the bulletin aims to enhance transparency and ensure stakeholders remain informed about governance activities.
About Proposals
Proposals serve as the mechanism for implementing changes within the ENS DAO. There are two types of proposals:
- Social Proposals: Offchain proposals that seek the DAO’s agreement on social considerations that cannot be enforced onchain.
- Executable Proposals: Onchain proposals that execute code related to the ENS Protocol and ENS DAO smart contracts, as determined by DAO votes.
How to Submit a Proposal
The ENS DAO proposal process ensures structured, transparent decision-making. It consists of three phases:
- Temperature Check – An informal discussion on the Forum to gauge community interest.
- Draft Proposal – A draft proposal is created and refined with feedback from the ‘Temp Check’.
- Active Proposal – The proposal goes to either an offchain or onchain vote.
Anyone who meets the minimum threshold can submit a proposal directly. Alternatively, proposers may seek a sponsor. For full details, refer to the ENS Proposal Submission Guide and explore the ENS Agora Governance interface when preparing to submit a proposal.
