# W3HC self-review

I tried to use [DAOmeter](https://www.daometer.xyz/) DAO evaluation framework (see [MakerDAO example](https://www.daometer.xyz/review/makerdao)) to rate the  Web3 Hackers Collective ([W3HC DAO](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/web3-hackers-collective)). Our mission statement is "We want to buid integrations through mentoring and learning". We have only three members a current treasury of 4k USD eq.

We're using Gov ([Github repo](https://github.com/w3hc/gov) and [docs](https://w3hc.github.io/gov-docs/)) which is a DAO framework built with Open Zeppelin’s Governor contract in combination with NFTs.

Any proposal should meet one of the following criteria:

- Organize local hackathons, workshops and meetups
- Request retroactive funding for a successful integration
- Develop and maintain Gov: a DAO framework built with Governor and NFTs
- Help people to setup their own DAO

Score (self-review): **82%** (246/300)

#### Comments

We don't have a contributor payroll in place yet, but contributors do get rewarded.

We have a formal onboarding process (the members have to vote to welcome a new member). The offboarding can be active (you just burn your membership NFT), or passive (members can vote to ban a member).

We don't have formal 'working groups' yet.

### Voting 

||||
|---|:---:|---|

| Are there delegates?| Yes | 10 |
| Are delegates compensated? | No| 0 |
| Is there a reported list of active delegates? | Yes | 10 |

#### Comments

We're in a one-person-one-vote style: only sthe holders of the membership NFT are allowed to vote. I don't see why 'tokens staked' would be better than 'tokens owned'. There is no staking in place.

We're using Tally a a voting tool, so it's 'standard' and I'm not sure if it's better to have a custom UI for voting. We'll release a first version of [Gov UI](https://github.com/w3hc/gov-ui) in the coming weeks.

This is documented here. Gov is a combination of Open Zeppelin's Governor contract and an ERC-721. These have been audited multiple times.
