Proposals & Reporting

Estimated reading: 5 minutes 208 views

Updated with DAO-Wide Master Plan Governance Flow & Multi-Stakeholder Participation (DEP 2)

In DEP 2, proposals and reporting form the backbone of decentralized decision-making.

To maintain coherence, synergy, and sustainability across all working groups and all stakeholders, each DAO follows a structured governance flow:

DAO-Wide Master Plan → Working Group Formation → WG Proposals → Weekly DAO Sync → Execution → Reporting

This ensures that all proposals contribute meaningfully to the DAO’s impact, regeneration, documentation, and cross-DAO collaboration goals—rather than operating in isolation.

1. Governance Flow for All DAOs in DEP 2

DEP 2 uses a layered planning and decision-making structure.

Step 1 - DAO-WIDE MASTER PLAN (Mandatory First Proposal)

Every DAO’s first proposal must be a DAO-Wide Master Plan.

No Working Group may submit a proposal until this plan is approved.

The Master Plan includes:

Shared Direction

  • DAO mission for Cohort 2

  • Core themes and approach

  • Expected learning outcomes

Impact Sub-Goals

  • DAO-wide impact target for Cohort 2

  • Sub-goals per Working Group

Regeneration Sub-Goals

  • DAO regeneration target ($3,000)

  • Sub-targets per WG

  • Regeneration strategy + timeline

Budget Envelope

  • Total seed fund: $3,000

  • Distribution across Working Groups

Working Group Structure

  • Names, roles, scopes, responsibilities

  • DAO Lead, WG Leads, DAO Facilitator (Kambria Team)

KAT Token Logic

  • DAO-wide KAT guidelines

  • Multi-stakeholder categories aligned with the KAT Reward & Privilege Framework
    (DAO members, collaborators, partners, ambassadors, volunteers, customers, KAT holders)

Synergy Map

How WGs support each other:

  • Impact ↔ Documentation

  • Impact ↔ Regeneration

  • WG dependencies & integration

Timeline

High-level roadmap aligned with DEP 2 phases.

Only after the Master Plan is approved can WGs begin submitting proposals.

Step 2 - Working Group Formation

WGs are formed based on the Master Plan - not independently.

Working Groups may include:

  • Impact Execution

  • Regeneration

  • Documentation

  • Partnerships

  • Communications

  • Tokenomics Integration

  • Special projects

Each WG commits to:

  • Its sub-goal

  • Its budget envelope

  • Its part of the regeneration strategy

  • Its documentation requirements

  • Multi-stakeholder integration

Step 3 - Working Group Proposals (Aligned With Master Plan)

All WG proposals must follow Master Plan boundaries and must:

  • Reflect their assigned sub-goal

  • Stay within their budget envelope

  • Support regeneration plans

  • Use DAO-wide KAT logic

  • Include external stakeholders (if any)

  • Reference synergy and dependencies

  • Follow timelines

WGs may involve:

  • Community Collaborators

  • Partners

  • Ambassadors

  • Volunteers

  • External LDPs

  • CED participants

  • KAT holders (symbolic governance pilots)

Step 4 - DAO-Level Review & Voting (Weekly)

All proposals are discussed in the weekly DAO meeting, which all DAO Members must attend.

Process:

  1. WG Lead presents the proposal

  2. DAO discusses

  3. DAO votes

  4. If approved → execution begins

Voting options:

  • Approve

  • Reject

  • Request revisions

DAO Facilitators (Kambria Team) advise but do not vote.

Step 5 - Execution by Working Groups

Once approved:

  • WG Leads coordinate execution

  • Cross-WG collaboration follows synergy map

  • Budgets are tracked against envelopes

  • KAT issuance follows DAO-wide rules

  • Documentation flows to the Documentation WG

Execution is distributed but guided by the Master Plan.

Step 6 - Weekly Reporting

DEP 2 requires weekly DAO syncs.

Mandatory updates include:

  • Impact progress

  • Regeneration progress

  • Budget status

  • Dependencies

  • Risks and blockers

  • KAT issuance notes

  • External stakeholder involvement

  • Cross-DAO updates

This ensures momentum and responsiveness.

Step 7 - Completion Reports (Per Proposal)

All executed proposals - funded or unfunded - must submit a Completion Report.

Includes:

  • Activities completed

  • Contributors (DAO Members + external stakeholders)

  • Evidence (photos, logs, outputs)

  • Budget used

  • Reflections

  • Recommendations

Completion reports feed the DAO’s learning cycle.

Step 8 - DAO Summary Report (End of Cohort)

Each DAO produces a summary report including:

  • Impact achievements

  • Regeneration achievements

  • Major collaborations

  • Budget summary

  • KAT recognition summary

  • Stakeholder participation

  • Lessons learned

  • Recommendations for DEP 3

  • Acknowledgments

This is included in the public DEP 2 documentation.

2. Proposal Types (Aligned With Master Plan)

Once the Master Plan is approved, DAOs may create:

A. Execution Proposals

Workshops, sessions, creative production, testing.

B. Regeneration Proposals

Partnership pilots, memberships, fundraising, paid events.

C. Documentation Proposals

Storytelling, archiving, media production.

D. Governance Proposals

Adjusting:

  • Master Plan

  • Budgets

  • Structures

  • KAT rules

E. Cross-DAO Proposals

Collaborations across DAOs or with the Tokenomics DAO.

All proposals must reference the Master Plan.

3. Funding Guidelines

Funding is not first-come-first-served.

Budgeting follows the Master Plan structure.

Principles:

  • Regeneration-aligned spending

  • Avoid exhausting funds early

  • Transparent reporting

  • No exceeding WG envelopes

  • Multi-stakeholder inclusion when relevant

4. Reporting Expectations

Weekly DAO Meetings

Mandatory for all DAO Members.

Covers:

  • WG updates

  • Risks

  • KAT summaries

  • External stakeholder involvement

  • Proposal previews

Completion Reports

Required for all approved proposals.

DAO Summary Report

Released at DEP 2 Summary + DEP 3 Info Session.

5. Principles for Proposals & Reporting

  1. Alignment Before Activity - Must align with Master Plan.

  2. Transparency - Budgets, decisions, and recognition must be visible.

  3. Decentralization - Any DAO Member may propose.

  4. Accountability - Documentation mandatory.

  5. Collaboration - WGs operate synergistically.

  6. Learning Culture - Document successes and failures.

  7. Multi-Stakeholder Inclusion - Recognize and involve partners, collaborators, ambassadors, customers, and token holders when appropriate.

  8. Safe KAT Usage - Symbolic, non-financial, aligned with the KAT Tokenomics DAO guidelines.

6. Summary

This updated governance flow ensures:

  • Strategic coherence

  • Unified mission and execution

  • Balanced budget decisions

  • Integration of impact + regeneration

  • Interoperability across WGs and DAOs

  • Consistent reporting

  • Inclusive, multi-stakeholder participation

  • Symbolic, ethical KAT recognition

Master Plan → Structure → WG Proposals → Weekly Sync → Execution → Reporting → Learning

This enables each DAO in DEP 2 to operate as a decentralized, aligned, regenerative collective.
