• AIP-426: Special Council- Future election requirement and role clarification by coLossuss0x - Accepted AIP Author

  Content: I’m content with the feedback received and wish to proceed to the next phase. Thanks everyone for the feedback on my proposal to clarify the role of the Special Council! I really appreciate your insights, and I’d like to address some of the main points raised. Weekly Reports and Accountability Regarding the removal of weekly reports, I understand that many of you value accountability and transparency. My proposal suggests that weekly reports may not be the most efficient use of the Special Council’s time, given their advisory role. While some believe weekly reports are essential, my position is that removing them can lead to more focused discussions and decision-making processes. Clarifying the Role of the Special Council Several of you mentioned the need for a clear definition of the Special Council’s role. My intention is to establish/re-affirm that it serves as an advisory board rather than a governing body. Perhaps that means changing the website from simply ‘board’. This change aims to remove ambiguity and clarify expectations. The Special Council’s function is supposed to offer guidance and oversight, not manage the DAO directly. Qualifications and Transparency Some feedback suggested incorporating specific requirements for Special Council members, such as discourse participation and work experience. While I appreciate the emphasis on qualified candidates, I believe my original proposal addresses the core requirements to ensure effective oversight without creating unnecessary barriers at this time with elections coming soon. Transparency remains vital. While reducing the frequency of reports, other communication methods, like regular town hall meetings or increased social media activity, could keep the community informed. The ApeCoin community can and should continue to explore these options. Thank you for your feedback and suggestions. I value our community’s insights, and while my proposal may not address every concern, I believe it moves us in the right direction. coLossuss 0 x

  Content: PROPOSAL NAME: Special Council- Future election requirement and role clarification PROPOSAL CATEGORY: Process TEAM DESCRIPTION: coLossuss 0 x: DAO enthusiast, Co-Founder of Curators Society DAO ABSTRACT: The Special Council of the APE Foundation, at the behest of the ApeCoin DAO members, acts as a liaison between the ApeCoin DAO members and the directors and officers of the APE Foundation. The Special Council exists to serve the vision of ApeCoin DAO. To further shape the success of the role long-term, the following changes are proposed to be made: Clarify that the Special Council is an “Advisory Board’’ that serves an advisory function with no corporate decision-making power. Rationale: Oftentimes there is quoted confusion in the community about what the Special Council is or is not. In practice, the Special Council is in fact an Advisory Board neither corporate officers nor management executives, and they should not be viewed as such. The Advisory Board should also not be misconstrued as the board of directors of the APE Foundation. An effective advisory board member brings unique qualities to the table. Key qualities and characteristics that make an individual effective in this role: diverse knowledge base, proven familiarity and understanding of the ApeCoin DAO ecosystem, good judgment, thoughtfulness, communication skills, commitment, integrity, and team player abilities. Special Council nominees must have been discourse members for at least 6 -months prior to the commencement of the term for which they are running and must have achieved a minimum of Trust Level 2 on discourse. For example, a nominee for the Special Council must have been a discourse member by June 30 , 2024 if they are running for the January 1 , 2025 term. Rationale: The primary responsibility of Special Council members is to conduct administrative review of AIPs. Accordingly, it is important for the DAO that the individuals elected to the Special Council have a strong history of participation in the discourse and with AIPs. Removal of the weekly reports established by AIP- 305 . Rationale: It was a good experiment, but the minimal engagement metrics of the reports has shown that they have not been an effective use of anyone’s time and efforts. Furthermore, such reports are not appropriate for advisory boards. BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM: Implementing the proposed changes could yield several benefits for the ApeCoin DAO and its governance structure: Clarity: Renaming the Special Council to the “Advisory Board” clarifies its role and that it is distinct from corporate management and decision-making. This clarity can help ApeCoin DAO members and better understand the purpose and function of the board, leading to more focused discussions and decision-making processes. Fit and Focus: Requiring nominees to have a history of discourse participation and familiarity with AIPs ensures that Advisory Board members are properly suited to their roles. This can result in more informed discussions, better decision-making, and increased trust from the community. Overall, these changes aim to optimize the Advisory Board’s role within the ApeCoin DAO, promoting long-term sustainability, and efficiency. STEPS TO IMPLEMENT & TIMELINE: Effective for the election cycle of council members commencing January 1 , 2025 : Special Council nominees for its elections must have been discourse members at least 6 months prior to the commencement of the term (for example by June 30 , 2024 for the January 1 , 2025 term) which they are running and must have achieved a minimum of Trust Level 2 on discourse. Effective immediately: Revise as necessary any election communications and processes to reflect the changes approved via this AIP. Update references of the Special Council as the “Board” to the “Advisory Board” (e.g., website copy ApeCoin for the Web 3 Economy). Removal of the weekly reports established by AIP- 305 . OVERALL COST: No ApeCoin requested from the treasury.

  • furiousanger: coLossuss0x: To further shape the success of the role long-term, the following changes are proposed to be made: Hi, Really confused to how many changes you propose. Numbered 1-7 under the above quoted sentence, but I max count three. Or maybe four changes total - as later on under “benefits” you mention changing the name of special council. I just think there’s alot of words in this AIP but very little planned action, example - point three you talk about the qualities of an “effective advisory board” yet offer nothing to convince me that anyhting contiained withih the AIP would deliver this “ideal”. Do you want qualification, work experience history & perhaps criminal record checks? Is this even feasible for us to perform on people from certain contries in the timeframe we have to work with? I love the idea of verification, but can it be pratically introduced, and what are the role requirements? Tl;dr - Not a fan at this point/am looking forward to more clarity. Thanks.
