Discord Use Guidelines

Welcome to the DAO Experimentation Program (DEP 3) Discord workspace. This guide explains how to use the DEP 3 channels and collaboration spaces.

General Principles

Open to read, focused to contribute. All Kambria Discord members can view the DEP 3 workspace. This keeps DAO activity visible to the broader community and supports open learning.

Posting permissions are more focused:

• DEP 3 DAO Members can post in program-wide collaboration channels.
• Only members of a specific DAO can post in that DAO’s working channel and lane threads.
• Kambria Admins manage official announcements, onboarding, moderation, and program administration.
• #dep3-support is an exception: it is an open peer-support Forum where Kambria Discord members can create and reply to support posts.

Please keep discussions in the appropriate channel and follow pinned messages and channel-specific guidelines.

Channel Overview

DAO Channels and Lane Threads

Each DAO has one main working channel.

Use the main DAO channel for information that affects the whole DAO, including:

• DAO-wide updates
• Weekly check-ins
• Decisions and governance notices
• Important links and resources
• Cross-lane coordination

Inside each DAO channel, execution is organised into lane threads.

Each lane has its own thread so the members responsible for that outcome can coordinate their day-to-day work without burying other DAO discussions.

A pinned Lane Directory in the DAO channel links members to the available lane threads.

If you are a floating contributor, join the lane thread for the work you are currently supporting.

If You Are a DAO Member

As a DEP 3 DAO Member, you can:

• View all DEP 3 channels.
• Post in #dep3-general and #dep3-showcase.
• Post and collaborate in your assigned DAO channel.
• Participate in your DAO’s lane threads.
• Share files, links, polls, updates, and relevant working materials.
• Join the Community Lounge.
• Join your assigned DAO meeting room.
• Create and reply to posts in #dep3-support.

Please use:

• #dep3-general for questions or discussions relevant across DAOs.
• #dep3-showcase for completed work, milestones, stories, and achievements.
• #dep3-support when you need help or encounter an issue.

• Your DAO channel for DAO-wide coordination and decisions.
• Your lane thread for day-to-day lane execution.

Getting Support

#dep3-support is a Discord Forum so that support questions remain organized, searchable, and reusable by other participants.

Before creating a post:

• Check the DEP 3 Documentation.
• Search the Forum to see whether the question has already been answered.
• Review the relevant documentation.
• Select the most relevant Issue Type tag and your DAO tag, if applicable.
• Use a clear post title describing the issue.

Available support tags include:

• 👥 Activity Status
• 🏛️ DAO/Lane Setup
• 📌 Tasks/Deliverables
• 📅 Meetings/Sessions
• 📝 Forms/Templates
• 💰 Rewards/Payment
• 🪲 Tech/XDAO Issue
• ❓ How-to/Other

The Forum also uses status tags:

• 🟡 Need Facilitator — peer support has not resolved the issue and Kambria support is needed.
• 🔴 Escalated — the issue requires attention from the Kambria Core Team or relevant technical team.
• 🟢 Solved — the issue has been resolved.

Status tags are controlled by Kambria Admins / authorized moderators.

When creating a support post, use:

• Role: [DAO Lead / Participant]
• Which DAO: [CED / …]
• Issue: [Briefly describe your issue, including when it occurred and the device or browser used, if applicable]
• Screenshot(s) and/or Video(s): [Attach if applicable]

This peer-support-first format allows other participants to learn from previous questions and allows the community to assist before an issue needs to be escalated.

Voice Channels

Community members outside DEP 3 can see that these meeting rooms exist and when activity is taking place, but cannot connect unless they have the appropriate DEP 3 role.

The Community Lounge is available across the cohort, while each DAO-specific meeting room is restricted to members of that DAO.

Good Practices

• Keep discussions in the appropriate channel.
• Use the main DAO channel for DAO-wide information and lane threads for lane-specific execution.
• Check pinned messages and the Lane Directory before starting a new discussion.
• Share completed work and major milestones in #dep3-showcase.
• Search #dep3-support before opening a new support request.
• Keep support posts clear and update them when the issue has been resolved.
• Be respectful, constructive, and collaborative.
• If you are unsure where a general discussion belongs, start in #dep3-general.

These guidelines keep DEP 3 open and transparent to the Kambria community while giving each DAO and each lane a focused space to execute.
