VDP-1 VitaDAO Governance Framework

The latest revision of this proposal now includes a process for embedded polls for all phase 2 proposals, as well as an exemplary poll for this proposal VDP-1.

What is new in the latest revision:

Proposals that receive more than 10 votes are moved to Phase 2. This phase requires proposals to be posted in the VitaDAO Proposals category on Discourse using the VitaDAO Governance Proposal template (VGP). Beside proper naming, the VGP template requires all proposals to include fields including but not limited to a Simple Summary, Abstract, Motivation, Specification, and Implementation.

In addition to these fields, Phase 2 proposals must include a single-choice poll on the proposal outcome giving the options “Agree”, “Agree with revisions” (requiring a comment), and “Disagree”. Participation should be restricted to trust level 1 and above and will be increased to trust level 2 at some point (see Discourse Trust Levels). The poll should result in a pie chart with results visible, as per this template:

[poll type=regular results=always public=true chartType=pie groups=trust_level_1]
* Agree
* Agree with revisions (please comment)
* Disagree
[/poll]

The proposal author is responsible to keep the proposal updated with the status of “Agree with revisions” comments. Only if the commenting author signals that their revision is resolved, a particular “Agree with revisions” vote is counted as an “Agree” vote.

Also decreased the number of votes required to pass Phase 2 from 50 to 20, given that we currently only have slightly more than 50 members here on Discourse with trust level 1. Once our governance process is more established, fully functional including on-chain votes and more widely used, I would suggest to increase the required number of votes again to an appropriate, to-be-defined threshold.
