## Ideas sprung off from the cummunity call
Disclaimer: It's always tricky to formulate a general or common idea. Every one has a different opinion. However, the text below tries to grasp the essence of the discussion and consensus we might have reached there. Feel free to amend the text below ; if you'd like to do so, we need you to sign into hackmd.io, for version control reasons.

### Circles / groups
The idea of having creative groups ("circles") where you can volunteer to contribute to, was well received by the tokenholders present. So centralized preparation and decentralized control: The result is a proposal that MUST be voted on.
#### Points to discuss
- Is volunteering the same as 'noncommittal'?

### Receipe and branding
Everything you do and create is owned by the DAO, by the group. We realised that current ownership are still personal:
- Receipe : Hans 
![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/HJbUrzD4o.png =200x100)
- Branding / logo : Bas

The intention is there to transfer ownership of both assets of the Copernicus DAO to the DAO. However, there's not a legal entity yet to transfer it to.
Creative ownhership (authorship) can never be fully transfered; it stays with the original creator (Hans, Bas respectively).

#### Points to deep dive into
- What legal DAO entity is possible in which jurisdiction?
- How can the legal entity be governed from the DAO in a proportional way (e.g. important issues only)?
- The explicit intention from the current owners to transfer (co?)ownership and whether the conditions for this future action have been fulfilled so far (e.g. remuneration for the pre-period in tokens). Are there any open points that could obstruct a smooth transfer once the DAO is a legal entity with a governance structure?

### Circles 
- Legal (Krijn+?), status COMMITMENT: set up terms & conditions in draft proposal for the DAO, mainly to avoid liabilities for tokenholders.
- Finance (Martin, Henk), status ACTIVE:  proposal to finance brewing beer tokenholders DAO under insurrance from the DAO has been withdrawn for various reasons. The circle will proceed with gentlemen's agreement draft between tokenholders in the roles *lender* and *borrower*.
- Sales (?), status IDEA: how can we learn *collectively* from Copericus-beer sales by individual tokenholders.
