Q4 Proposal Flow

November 1st: Exploration Phase - Applications are open!

Application should be posted on the Discourse forum to facilitate public debate
Internal member conversation can happen in the dedicated #proposal-discussion Discord channel.
ReallyBoringGuild (RBG) will encourage MolochDAO members to submit applications on the forum and to scrutinize other applications posted there.
RBG will not be submitting proposals on behalf of DAO members.

November 15th: Scrutiny Phase - Criticize!

Members are encouraged to provide feedback on their preferred proposals in the Discourse forum (public) and #proposal-discussion Discord channel. RBG will relay this information to the projects to help strengthen their proposal and schedule townhall meetings with the projects if desired.
RBG will create polls for the strongest proposals to secure sentiment from members. This will occur in the #proposal-discussion Discord channel.
Weak or undesireable projects will be removed from consideration at this time. “Bad fit” projects will be notified.

November 29th: Submission Phase - Proposals Go On-Chain!

Projects that have gathered positive sentiment from the DAO will be invited to submit their proposal on-chain through the DAOhaus portal. Note: v2 Moloch DAOs allow anyone to submit a proposal, not restricted to members. 12 proposals can be submitted per day. Proposals should not be sponsored at this time.

December 3rd: Deadline for Submitting Proposals

December 6th: Sponsorship and Voting Phase

DAO members that have expressed interest in championing specific projects will be reminded by RBG to sponsor the proposal at a sponsorship price of 1 WETH. There is no processing reward on the v2 DAO, so 100% of these funds will be returned after the grace period and gas fees will be reimbursed from the RBG budget. (Please keep your txn records!)
Sponsorship will occur at a MolochDAO member meeting (aka sponsorship party!) scheduled for Monday December 6th to ensure they are opened to voting at the same time.
The voting period is 7 days.

December 13th: Results and Grace Period

All voting should be complete at this time, with some latency due to staggered sponsorship. We will know the results of proposals.
RBG will notify MolochDAO members of their opportunity to Ragequit during the 7 day grace period.
RBG will notify successfull applicants of their success and begin the onboarding process!
