This change preserves the Council’s approve/oversee role and enforces fund-scoped execution ## Abstract The DAO Committee historically acted as an operational and governance-enactment body: executing transactions, paying grants, and coordinating treasury operations. With the discontinuation of the grants program and the creation of the DAO Council, the Committee’s scope has significantly diminished. This proposal introduces a transition strategy that retires the DAO Committee in its current form while reassigning execution responsibilities to a hybrid multisig structure composed of trusted representatives from existing entities within the Decentraland ecosystem. **Important note:** At the time of drafting, the DAO Committee has not confirmed participation in the transition nor nominated a signer. Therefore, the Committee’s representation in the new structure remains unconfirmed. Should this remain unresolved, the DAO Council will evaluate alternatives, including appointing a security professional from established partners or another candidate deemed suitable for the role. The proposed multisig will consist of trusted representatives from the DAO Council, the Security Advisory Board (SAB), the Decentraland Foundation, and 1 former DAO Committee member (or an alternative, as described above), forming a balanced and technically competent 3-of-5 multisig structure. ## Motivation ### **Motivation** The DAO Committee was once central to Decentraland’s operations: managing grants, paying contributors, executing transactions, and acting as a safeguard to ensure community-approved proposals were responsibly enacted. However, this role has fundamentally changed. - **Reduced Scope** : With no grants program and significantly fewer operational transactions, the workload and responsibility no longer justify the current structure or its $2.4k USD in MANA/month compensation per member (3 members → $7.2k a month). - **Legacy Role:** The Committee historically coordinated treasury-related execution to enact community-approved decisions. Going forward, the Council sets mandates and provides oversight; execution remains with the operational multisig as defined in this proposal. The DAO’s evolution now requires a leaner, more transparent mechanism. Transitioning to a council-driven multisig mitigates these risks while ensuring operational continuity. The new multisig model offers clear benefits: - **Representation** : Aligns execution with representatives from major stakeholder entities across the project. - **Accountability** : Authority is distributed, reducing risks of over-concentration. - **Continuity** : Ideally retains one former DAO Committee member for institutional knowledge; however, their participation remains **unconfirmed** at this stage. - **Cost Alignment** : Updates compensation to reflect the reduced scope and new responsibilities. ## Specification ### **Specification** 1. **Deprecation of the DAO Committee** 2. **Multisig Configuration** 3. **Responsibilities** : 4. **Signer Replacement Procedure** 5. **Compensation** ## Conclusion ### **Impacts** - **Operational Agility** : Faster execution DAO mandated proposals and treasury transactions, reducing unnecessary delays and bottlenecks. - **Balanced Authority** : Distributes trust into trusted members across the DAO Council, SAB, Foundation, and ideally a former Committee member, avoiding over-concentration. - **Continuity** : Ideally retains one former DAO Committee member for institutional knowledge. - **Cost Alignment** : Adjusts compensation to reflect reduced responsibilities, ensuring sustainability. ### **Implementation Pathway** Until completion of the handover, the current DAO Committee remains the executor of transactions from the DAO Treasury, under Council mandates. Upon completion, the new operational multisig assumes that execution role as specified. 1. **DAO Committee Offboarding** 2. **Multisig Configuration** 3. **Public Announcement** **[Vote on this proposal on the Decentraland DAO](https://decentraland.org/governance/proposal/?id=fccd5192-5b32-46d0-a9f4-1d9f80e04c47)** **[View this proposal on Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/snapshot.dcl.eth/proposal/0xb14749dfb309ff40a9e15e4219f253f44601cd4ad55c191a1ad1c5e233bbc378)** ---

This is a very serious accusation. If @HPrivakos cannot substantiate the claim with credible evidence, he should not remain a member of the SAB. @ginoct @esteban @Agus @yemel perhaps a decision that’s long due HPrivakos has just deleted his comment where he said “freaking thieves” but the internet history doesn’t forget. Similar action from this individual has been the common occurrence in DAO discord resulting in 100’s (if not 1000’s) of players to leave the platform never to be returned. This constant misdemeanour behavior, false allegations/accusations and abusing his power granted to him in bad faith goes against the terms and conditions, ethics & ethos of Decentraland & he should be held accountable for such actions. ---
