# Meta-Gov Calls | April 2022 Date: 7 April 2022 Stewards present: @simona and @jmj Community present: @alisha.eth @marcus @inplco @brianmills and 'some anon' ### Agenda 1. Sync on suitable meeting times for the remainder of the term along with preferred modes of communication for stewards to report to the DAO - This WG has stewards across 4 timezones. To ease the burden of coordinating calls outside reasonable working hours, calls will be held every other week in alternate timezones. - April 7th and 21st in a Europe/USA friendly time - April 12th and 26th in a Asia/Pacific friendly time 2. Update on DAO bylaws, governance rules, and the cool down period temp check - DAO bylaws are being drafted by Fenwick/Walkers and expected to be finalized in the next 1 - 2 weeks. - Governance rules can be drafted once the bylaws are confirmed. - Cool down period for steward removals clause will be rolled into an EP4 ammendment. Cool down period for Director removal clause will be included in the governance rules. 3. Discuss the RFP model for the DAO - Context for why RFP's are a worthwhile experiment for the ENS DAO from alisha.eth. - An RFP model moves the DAO towards the role of overseeing and approving work to take place (where appropriate), rather than trying to coordinate the work itself. - The increased agency of individual proposers should allow the DAO to attract the best talent in it's mission to serve ENS. 4. Discuss next steps for the Endoament RFP proposal - Stewards to finalize a first draft of the RFP. Once the draft is finalized, it will be circulated in the forum for feedback from the community. After a period of feedback, the stewards can finalize the RFP. - It is likely that the proposal period for this particular RFP will be open for several weeks, to give interested parties time to formulate the best proposal, given the importance of the task. 5. Meta-Gov Budget allocation and DAO tooling update for a payments platform - alisha.eth to sync with stewards who were on open calls in the past few weeks where both Utopia Labs and Parcel had a chance to pitch their platforms to the DAO. ### Next Meta-Gov WG sync details Date: April 12th Time: 4pm NZT / 2pm Melbourne time / Noon Taiwan time Google Meet link: Stewards: @nick @leon @james (Side note on timezones - the Savvy time zone converter is my fav tool for coordinating timezones if it's useful for anyone to figure out the local time of a call.)
