# Ocean Ambassadors DAO [OAD]
## Kick-off Meeting

### Agenda
1. Vision
2. Objectives
3. End-Product
4. Process / Planning


### 1. Vision
* The Ambassador Program should outlast ambassadors
* It should provide a wide array of tools and activities:
    * Tooling for outreach
    * Guidlines, e.g. for Events, Conferences, ..etc.
    * Prodvide tutorials, education, mentorship
    * Dedicated townhalls for new Ambassadors onboarding

### 2. Objectives
* The objective of the Ambassador Program is to grow the Ocean Protocol ecosystem. 
* It does so by attracting and onboarding new people and organizations into Ocean Protocol.

DAO voting should be guided by Project Purpose

### 3. End-Product
* It should be non-coin voting for governance
* We may use existing material/insights in the space:
    * [Thought leadership by Vitalik B](https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/08/16/voting3.html)
    * [1Hive gardens](https://about.gardens.1hive.org/) (DAO infra with 1-click deployment) 
    * [DAOHaus](https://daohaus.club/) (DAO infra) 
    * [Aragon](https://aragon.org/) (DAO infra) 
    * [Coordinape](https://coordinape.com): we should pilot its use, as a reputation/experience system. If it's free (or at least not prohibitively expensive)
* Using Polygon and snapshot as a way to reduce gas to a minimum
* We should spend time on experimentation, but still get tangible value for the group

### 4. Process/ Planning
* We should not re-invent the wheel, but use what is available and adapt to our needs
* The program should be light, and designed with flexibility in mind as it will likely be improved over time
* We've agreed to the following to stir the creation of our DAO:
    * Hold Bi-weekly WG sessions to set-up the DAO (LRT to organize)
    * Set-up WB on Discord (DrPRK to organize)
    * Set-up Coordinape (Robin and Noelle to organize)
