Community Stewards are an elected board of community members that work alongside the Core Team to make up the Governance Committee.
The Stewardship Team will consist of 3 high-context community members working alongside the Core Team (Core Team + Stewards = Governance Committee) who will provide leadership and direction to the DAO, establish priorities, and help manage proposals and projects on behalf of all members. The Governance Committee will be able to solve key problems within the COLORSxCOMMUNITY such as developing a clear roadmap or DAO-wide understanding of what projects are most urgent.
COLORSxCOMMUNITY greatly benefits from a strong sense of direction. The vast majority of DAO members understandably do not have a clear idea of the following:
This lack of awareness creates a huge barrier to efficient output and forward progress.
As proposals begin coming in for Season #1, the COLORSxCOMMUNITY also needs a team of people who can work alongside project leads, monitor expenses, and keep others up to date on projects and initiatives. This team also works to protect the DAO against a variety of malicious proposals.
The Stewards will be responsible for:
The Governance Committee will host a meeting at least once every two weeks (but up to as many times as is valuable) to discuss DAO issues, governance, compensation, treasury, ongoing projects, priorities, roadmap, goals/objectives, and any other important matters. This will be a time for new people to join in and get the scope of the DAO’s operations, and for existing members to tune in to hear the latest weekly developments.
The Governance Committee will also regularly update asynchronous materials that facilitate clarity such as Notion documentation and the website.
The Governance Committee will review proposals for projects and discuss compensation, collaborations, expectations, and timelines with project leads. Proposals will be moved to Snapshot for a community vote once the project’s scope and compensation are clearly aligned with the DAO’s priorities. The Governance Committee will monitor projects after they have passed through Snapshot and hold them accountable to ensure that the DAO gets as much value out of its time and treasury as possible.
