DAO

Disorient Decentralized Autonomous Organization

D22 (Disorient camp at Burning Man 2022) DAO

With advice from Leo and James (Disorient 2001), Eye have been researching how to create a DAO for Disorient.

A DAO or Decentralized Autonomous Organization is an internet community that allows members to coordinate funds and resources. It is a community of people making decisions together in a decentralized manner, made autonomous through their software underpinnings. More here: https://ethereum.org/en/dao/

Creating a DAO is a big step for Disorient. It comes with many questions. During a 20220315 call with Isaac, a DAO specialist, the idea to create a punctual DAO for Disorient camp at BM22, as opposed to a DAO for Disorient collective, emerged. Think of this time-limited DAO as a way to test the concept without long-term commitments.

A DAO would be a departure from the way we've administered Disorient in the past. It could provide a structure based on blockchain technology to streamline how we run camp. For instance camp fees could be collected and managed through our D22 DAO, some decisions could be made using the DAO's voting system. It would require adjustment, agility and has the potential to bring Disorient members closer together by organizing membership, automating some of our camp tasks and energizing our consensual stance with its transparent voting/financial features. It could be a new chapter in the history of Disorient.

We have a Zoom call with Isaac on Friday March 18th at 11:00am EST during which we will be able to ask questions and create our D22 DAO. Isaac recommends using https://daohaus.club which he has used to help create other DAOs for projects similar to Disorient. He will help us get started and onboard call participants. This is a great way to jumpstart this project.
