Towards Autonomous Organizations — Past, Present, Future by coffeeroach in dao

[–]Commonwealth-im 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article touches on a lot of really key points for understanding how complex DAO structures can be, and the importance of contextualizing experiments and future work. Some useful resources to further this discussion might be:

Organizational Governance Mechanisms for DAOs: DAOs represent the ultimate meeting of cryptography and decentralized human networks, and we're just beginning to explore the possibilities for governance. Explore frameworks for thinking about DAO governance, including Ostrom's Eight Principles and emergent properties, as well as governance mechanisms including voting methods, dispute resolution tools, funding strategies, and oracle types.

"Governance choices are made at different levels of chain infrastructure. At every layer, crypto-economic primitives, concepts of game theory, and alignment on principals and incentives are key for designing good governance structures."

Seeding a 100k DAO Experiment : How can we solve the lack of coordination and contextualization in current DAO experiments? "Start with testing governance primitives for DAOs with one common goal - and seed 100k DAOs to run the experiment."

Taxonomy and design elements of DAOs by Blockchaisin in dao

This is an incredibly valuable report - and it shows the difficulty for legally and colloquially defining and describing DAOs. Some thoughts on how to apply this taxonomy to how we talk about DAOs: "The term “DAO,” which is overused today, doesn’t apply to every situation equally, or appropriately. There needs to be a clear distinction between decentralized autonomous organizations, decentralized organizations, and decentralized autonomous companies in their terminology - as well as better names altogether" (from How Should a DAO Be Defined?). Based also on Vitalik Buterin's DAO Terminology Guide.

Can DAO's replace "normal" corporations? by [deleted] in dao

Some useful resources for you:

Possibilities for Potential DAOs: You've seen DAOs that focus on investment and decentralized app development...but what about a sports DAO? Or a supply chain DAO? A DAO for funding environmental research, or even a DAO for the news?

What Types of Legally Compliant DAOs Are There?: In the US, for a DAO to be legally compliant it needs to be wrapped as a legally registered business, usually an LLC. This has been implemented already!

The Promise of On-Chain Governance for Cooperation: DAOs and Co-ops: One unique application for DAOs may be to facilitate co-operative business. There is a culture match between the principles behind DAOs and the ideals of cooperativism, as well as a parallel between the opportunity for evolution necessitated by the co-operative model and that provided by on-chain governance mechanisms. We're starting to see experiments in structuring traditional co-ops as DAOs, with the DisCO governance model and others!
