Highlight of the week: Updated timeline for treasury transfer and Delegated Voting DAO
Key updates:
As the technical infrastructure of the Aragon Network DAO (AN DAO) does not support delegated voting, the Aragon Association is working closely with industry experts to assess alternative solutions. The technical options currently being reviewed include TAO Voting (built on AragonOS) and Open Zeppelin Governor.
Since the new technical infrastructure requires new governance design, the Aragon Association is finalizing the first drafts of a new charter and governance guidelines to support delegated voting. We are consulting with industry experts and will be leading a stakeholder-based consultation process to gather feedback on delegated voting governance. Calls for participation will be communicated in upcoming weeks.
A Forum Discussion is currently underway to evolve the governance of the Aragon Network and decide the future of the AN DAO, considering neither its technical infrastructure nor the current state of the charter are suitable for delegated voting. The discussion will be put to a Voice vote following the modification procedures mandated by the AN DAO Charter.
