# DAO Constitution

**All DAO members have the fundamental rights to submit proposals, vote and execute approved proposals independently from any centralized party.**&#x20;

New initiatives are presented to the community in the form of RRCs (RARI Request for Comment) – documents with a set structure that are reviewed following a set governance process.

The very first RRCs that marked the creation of the RARI Foundation are known as our **constitution**. They map out the fully on-chain governance and voting process in detail. We highly recommend everyone study these documents before getting involved in the Foundation.&#x20;

Links and TL;DR below:

### RRC-0

* This document proposed the set up of an independent RARI Foundation fully controlled and operated by $RARI and veRARI holders.
* This legal structure enables the RARI DAO to submit proposals, vote and execute approved proposals independently from any single centralized party.
* RARI Foundation acts as the DAO's "Board", administering DAO proposals and serving the vision of the community. The RARI DAO can vote to nominate, appoint and/or remove directors of the RARI Foundation
