Description

This proposal is to extend the operations of the DAO Facilitation Squad, for an additional six months. Over the course of its first term, the DAO Facilitation Squad developed a cadence of operations and regular reporting, and identified core areas where our engagement is most useful, this includes but is not limited to: 1. Hosting of DAO Town Halls, In-World Meet Ups and DAO Facilitation Office Hours; 2. Strategic Communications and Reporting on DAO Operations and Governance issues; 3. Development of a Formal Working Group Process and Facilitation of Issue-Specific Working Groups; 4. Coordination of engagements and collaborations between the Decentraland DAO Community, DAO Core Units, the DAO Committee, and the Decentraland Foundation. The operations of the DAO Facilitation Squad are further intended to support the work and community engagement of other “Core Units” of the DAO, which include the [DAO Governance (dApp) Squad](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=4772fdb0-74e3-11ed-a9bf-f772a12a0556) and the [Grants Support Squad](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=c5c2f9a0-5fa7-11ed-9e27-9944727da95a). Our **primary objective over the coming term will be to focus on our DAO’s collective decision-making and consensus building processes.** Many in the web3 space often equate governance to voting. However, over the past months we have seen that voting is often not the end, but the beginning of a divisive issue or debate, and that collective decision-making and consensus building is as, if not more important, than the final outcome of a proposal or poll. Drawing on leading policy decision-making frameworks, including what is known as the Delphi Method, we will focus on finalizing and implementing a robust working group process that can be led by Community and/or Facilitation Team Members; and further focus on creating and maintaining multiple forums for increasing communication, coordination, and collaboration between the DAO Community, Committee, Core Units and Decentraland Foundation.
