What are Stewards?

Stewards are elected Members as well as the nominated Developer DAO Foundation Director who help “Steward” the DAO via elevated responsibilities in Governance.

Stewards replace the “Governance Allowlist” as currently defined in DDIP 6. Every Steward has the right to elevate proposals to binding Snapshot votes that successfully achieve the required elevation criteria defined in DDIP 6. Obtaining this right, therefore, also moves away from holding a specific number of $CODE tokens defined in DDIP to being appointed a Steward via the Election processes defined below.

This active participation role is responsible for steering the DAO to ensure it works towards its stated mission. Stewards must sign a Contributor Agreement 2 with the Foundation detailing the below-mentioned roles and rewards.

Objectives of the Stewards

• Keep track of ongoing Governance Proposals.
• Ensure Governance Proposals follow templates and guidelines.
• Review, comment and suggest improvements to inflight Governance proposals.
• Identify and triage overlaps and conflicts in Governance proposals.
• Coordinate activity between the Sub-DAOs.
• Define the DAO’s Seasonal (Quarterly) strategy, including setting DAO-level OKRs
• Reviewing DAO and Sub-DAO performance against agreed OKRs, deciding on suitable action if Sub-DAO’s agreed deliverables are not being met.
• Define DAO-level Treasury Strategy (any DAO Operational / Foundation costs, Treasury assets available for budget requests).
• Review and decide on ad-hoc funding requests made during a Season.

Responsibilities

Stewards commit to 2 - 4 hours per week for reviewing and attending Stewards Council Meetings and performing their Steward duties as defined below:

• Community Elected Stewards will be signers on the DAO Treasury.
