DAO

Disorient Decentralized Autonomous Organization

2nd Zoom Call with Isaac (20220318)

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.

Minutes

Participants: Isaac, Jacob J., Tejawe, HRH, Leo, Jasmine, The Eye, Jony B Bad, Teddy Lo
Call length: 1 hour

Q and A for 40 minutes then Isaac created the Experimental DAO for managing Camp Disorient 2022 https://app.daohaus.club/dao/0x64/0xe2aa2a29d0d87c79267b19a0b1a7dd1be0f5021b/ using https://app.tip.party/room/disorient and http://DaoHaus.club and running on the Gnosis chain https://www.xdaichain.com/
Four of us (including Isaac) had wallets ready to be added to the DAO.

Next steps:
- Familiarize ourselves with the environment of our new DAO.
- Help other participants connect to the DAO, provide Metamask help when necessary.
- Start experimenting with proposals as this is a central mechanism of the DAO.
