Guest Post: DAO Committee Report #0014

This post was originally published on Decentraland

In the three weeks since the last DAO Committee report, two points of interest (POI) have been added to the Decentraland map, five grant proposals were approved, and 10 community polls have passed.

Amid ongoing community debate over the price of names and associated voting power, the DAO has officially voted to reform its proposal process for issues that do yet have an established voting category. This process will now include three distinct stages, with increasing proposal submission and passage thresholds. The UX for this process has been designed and is currently under development.

The DAO will hold its monthly town hall on Thursday January 13 at 4:30pm EST (9:30 PM UTC). This event will be held in the Decentraland Discord server’s town hall channel.

Polls

Hide POIs with a default scene name from the DCL Map

• Hide POIs with a default scene name 100% 374,680 VP (18 votes)
• Do nothing 0% 0 VP (0 votes)

Members of the DAO have voted to add a feature to hide POIs with a default scene name, which appears on the Decentraland map as “Empty Parcel.” This request has been communicated to the Foundation Client Team. An alternative pathway for resolving this issue would be for a community member to submit a proposal creating a process for the removal of POIs from the map.

DAO Governance Proposal Stages

• For (1): Establish a three-tiered binding Governance Proposal process 98% 3,565,413 VP (32 votes)
• For (2): Modify current use of Community Polls, however, amend this proposal 1% 14,480 VP (4 votes)
• Against: Do Nothing/Maintain current use of Community Polls 1% 4,700 VP (3 votes)

The DAO has voted to restructure the process through which governance proposals are submitted, passed and implemented. This process will now include three stages, the first, a “Pre-proposal Poll,” which is a gauge of community opinion and support for furthering discussion on an issue. Second, a “Draft Proposal,” which will facilitate deeper discussions about the proposal’s rationale, impacts and implementation pathways. Third, a binding “Governance Proposal,”  which will include a detailed description of impacts and feasible implementation pathways in order to help the community make informed and implementable decisions.

The UX for implementing has been designed and is currently being deployed by the DAO’s governance dApp team. It is not yet known when it will be fully completed, however, in the interim period, polls that do not pass a 500K VP threshold, will not be considered for implementation by the DAO Committee.

Members of the DAO have requested a feature to allow landowners to select the color which is displayed on their property on the main Decentraland Map.

Change the price of claiming a unique name

• Invalid question/options 1% 5,600 VP (2 votes)

Members of the DAO have voted to temporarily maintain the current 100 MANA price for claiming unique name, while the community conducts further conversations and explores impacts and implementation pathways for lowering name costs. This vote follows passage of a previous poll calling for reducing the prince for claiming a unique name to 25 MANA.

During the DAO Town Hall of December 2021, there was general consensus that discussions on this issue should continue before implementing a long term solution. During the month of January, the DAO facilitator will organize a small working group to discuss the question of name prices and associated VP. The working group will put forward a Draft Proposal for community consideration.
