Governance and the Contributor Committee

While day to day operations of The LifeDAO are managed by the Takadao protocol, high level strategic decisions are made by TLD members through governance processes. These governance processes are facilitated by the Contributor Committee whose 9 Contributors are elected by the TLD membership through voting.

In turn, Contributors screen proposals that are submitted to TLD according to governance bylaws. Once accepted by Contributors, proposals are then put forth to the TLD membership and voted on. In case voting does not produce a quorum, Contributors may decide on behalf of the TLD membership.

Contributors also act as community facilitators to explain and answer questions on proposals that they have screened and endorsed.

Once a proposal is voted on and accepted by the TLD membership, it may necessitate a smart contract update which will be executed by Takadao and approved by a multisig wallet controlled by the Contributors. Approvals are therefore recorded on-chain and publicly verifiable.
