How to write a proposal

Structure

To be considered by the community, a proposal must include:

Abstract – Two or three sentences that summarize the proposal.

Motivation – A statement on why the RARI DAO community should implement the proposal.

Rationale – An explanation of how the proposal aligns with the RARI DAO community’s mission and guiding values.

Key Terms (optional) – Definitions of any terms within the proposal that are unique to the proposal, new to the RARI DAO community, and/or industry-specific.

Specifications – A detailed breakdown of the platforms and technologies that will be used.

Steps to Implement – The steps to implement the proposal, including associated costs, manpower, any legal documentation and risk assessment (if applicable) and other resources for each step where applicable. The steps must be described with sufficient specificity to leave as little room for the Board to exercise discretion in implementing the proposal.

Timeline – Relevant timing details, including but not limited to start date, milestones, and completion dates.

Overall Cost – The total cost to implement the proposal.

Request for Call Agenda inclusion

Community and proposal review calls are the place to be if you want to understand the current needs of the ecosystem and get feedback and support for your initiative. Here is how to make the most out of it:

• You can request a preview of your proposal draft for an in-depth discussion on a community call. You need to put in a request in advance for the following proposal review call

• To have your proposal reviewed as a formal agenda topic, put in a request to add it to a proposal review call

Success criteria

In order for your proposal to pass, it must reach 15% quorum (dynamic) of the locked token supply. Majority of votes need to be in favor of your proposal
