Description

The DAO Governance Squad was created in January 2022 due to a Community Grant given by the Decentraland DAO. From its inception, it has grown into a fully-featured product development team working in an open and agile way, focused on improving the capabilities of the central governance platform of the Decentraland DAO, the Governance dApp, and its ecosystem. This grant will set up a budget for the next 6 months to run this team. This grant could be extended upon a further decision of the DAO if the project succeeds in its objectives. The DAO Governance Squad has been set up as a Panama sole-purpose, Non-for-Profit Foundation. The costs associated with maintaining the foundation are included in this Grant. The same Grant conditions detailed in the [original founding proposal](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=ed53e850-5e70-11ec-8188-4352ce3d30e7) still apply.

The team will follow [agile development practices](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development) to ensure a lean implementation of DAO governance requirements and continuous improvement of such features. **The team will update the community, gather feedback and answer questions at the open DAO Town Hall meetings and Discord server. Monthly Demo recordings will be provided as well.** The grant will be provided as a vesting contract of stablecoins assigned to 2-out-of-4 signatures [wallet](https://gnosis-safe.io/app/eth:0x3bf800b6F5c987b3738432068f789b7d131F1698/transactions/history).
