Guest Post: DAO Committee Report #0015

This post was originally published on Decentraland

In the two weeks since the last DAO Committee report, two points of interest (POI) have been added to the Decentraland map, four grant proposals were approved, one name was banned, one catalyst has been added to the network, and five community polls have passed.

On January 14, the Decentraland DAO held its monthly town hall. During this event, the resignation of a DAO Committee Member was announced, and process for appointing new members discussed. A proposal to approve the process for adding a new member to the DAO Committee will be submitted in the near future, and a call for applicants/nominations opened.

The Decentraland DAO Discord server is now open, and can be accessed here: https://discord.gg/ZdzKgYE5Q3. In the server all current and past grantees can find a thread with the details of their grant.

Finally, the DAO Committee has announced an open call for Delegates. VP Delegation has been active since July 2021, however, only 23 accounts have received VP via delegation for a total of 1.6M VP, which is a very small percentage of the total circulating VP. The Call for Delegates aims to showcase members of the Decentraland community that would like to actively participate in the governance process, and receive VP delegation. Delegate profiles will be listed in the future Governance dApp for easy access. Those interested in serving as a Delegate should submit their profile information via the Delegate forum post.
