Guidelines and Improvement of Proposal Process

At first it reads good too. What I like is that it enforces a discussion with the first phase and iterating on it before going to a full vote.

My thoughts after reading it: It allows (and enforces) time to discuss, which is what we miss.

  1. Maybe we can adopt from project /issue management some processes, especially requirements to the proposal input. Like templating with questions similar to “what is the problem?”, “the expected outcome?”, “how to measure it?”, etc. – disconnected from a solution.
    So we can think freely about the problem to solve, instead of the solution to realize.

  2. Suggestions for solutions can be multiple, so allowing different suggestions from different people and finding a way to prioritize or prefer one via voting too. This could also work as an alternative of a temperature check, by checking the participation level.

  3. Iterating until a certain point is reached, where it moves to voting stage. The proposal must be realizable, tangible and measurable.

In general I think that a proposal should be a lot like a change request to an application. I am not so used to DAOs and their decision making processes, are there more “good” examples out there? Where people are active and happy with the process?
