AIP-17A: Election of the First New Multisig Signer for AssangeDAO

Summary

Following AIP-15, which established the process for adding two new Multisig Signers to AssangeDAO, this proposal (AIP-17A) initiates the first Snapshot vote to elect one Multisig Signer from five shortlisted finalists. A second vote (AIP-17B) will elect the second signer. This aims to restore efficient governance, transparency, and alignment with AssangeDAO’s mission.

Background

AIP-15 addressed governance gaps due to the departure of original Multisig Signers. After a three-week nomination period and two-week community discussion, the Governance Transition Unit (GTU) shortlisted five finalists based on governance activity, community trust, and role fit. This proposal submits them for a Snapshot vote to select the first Multisig Signer.

Roles & Responsibilities

Execution: Execute approved Snapshot proposals on Gnosis Safe within 72 hours. Accountability: Justify any delays (e.g., legal/security concerns) publicly. Transparency: Ensure responsiveness and transparent fund flows.

Finalists The GTU shortlisted these candidates based on AIP-15 criteria. Review their nomination posts for details:

Removal Mechanisms Per AIP-15:

Voluntary Resignation: Allowed with notice and transition support.

Automatic Removal: Formal resignation. Proven fund misuse. Collusion with anti-DAO actors.

Community-Triggered Removal (via Snapshot): Documented misconduct. Repeated failure to perform duties. Security/governance risks. Violation of AssangeDAO’s values.

Governance Design

Execution: On-chain via Gnosis Safe. Transparency: Transactions are publicly verifiable. Treasury: Funds in Gnosis Safe, spent only after Snapshot approval.

Mission Alignment This proposal restores governance, encourages participation, and ensures transparent execution, aligning with AssangeDAO’s mission.
