## The Traditional organizations issues
1. There can be a conflcit of interest when the Task Asigner or Payer persons have preferences over workers
2. When we use hour rate, people add extra hours to simple work (1 dolar per minut in call)
3. When people get paid to be in office, example 4 hours, its rated by ours but not in efficiency (we call it ass hour).
4. Free work asignation (when someone asigns to themselfs) can be just to fill task on unecesary or useless work.

## Why Aragon DAO?
Traditional organizations have a vertical hierarchical structure where the authorities are the ones who make the most relevant decisions. However, in many cases these decisions are not usually the best since sometimes the authorities don´t know the real needs of the organization.
Internal factors such as nepotism, corruption, influence peddling or a huge gap between the authorities and the workers are often factors for making decisions based on the interests of a minority and completely forgetting the organisation.
A DAO is a Decentralised Autonomous Organization. It is a new type of organization where there is no hierarchy, decisions are subject to voting on the Blockchain and operations are generally automated through Smart Contracts.
There are different types of DAO frameworks and we will briefly mention the differences of each of them.

Moloch, Colony, DaoStack, Aragon.

**Moloch** invite people to make a tribute, according to which tokens are requested in exchange. It has a mechanism called ***"Reach Quite"*** that allows you to protect people from a 51% attack (from the tyranny of the majority). When a person makes a decision that they do not like, the person can make a redemption of what their tokens would be equivalent to in the common fund to leave the DAO. It is sought that the proposals are accepted by as many people as possible.

**Colony** itself does not believe in voting as it represents a cognitive cost for people. It seeks to bypass the problem of voting by assigning reputation and different subgroups so that there are few representatives of a group of people so that thanks to the merit assigned to the "representatives" they vote for the majority. It's basically like an electoral system in any country where you elect your representatives who will make decisions for you.

**DAOStack** seeks to scale an organisation to large masses. It sets up a system of incentives on voting. It doesn't give governance based on the money you put into the DAO, it uses the reputation system and on this voting there is a "betting" system instead of deciding based on the money you put into the DAO, it is based on voting trends to make it scalable.

**Aragon** is a dApp that allows people to deploy a smart contract from a DAO. It is based on depositing funds that in turn obtain tokens equivalent to the amount deposited and thus whoever has more tokens has more voting power. It is basically a "Tokencracy".

Within all the DAO options that exist, Aragon presents innovative voting methods that adapt to the needs of our organisation. It contains different formats which are very useful to achieve a true and authentic Decentralisation and an authentic and effective Democracy, avoiding the problems of traditional organisations.

## How to vote and scenarios in membership DAO
The membership DAO use a non-transferable token to represent membership. Decisions are made based on one-member-one-vote governance.


> Support: Support is the relative percentage of tokens that are required to vote “Yes” for a proposal to be approved. For example, if “Support” is set to 50%, then more than 50% of the tokens used to vote on a proposal must vote “Yes” for it to pass.

> Minimum Approval is the percentage of the total token supply that is required to vote “Yes” on a proposal before it can be approved. For example, if the “Minimum Approval” is set to 20%, then more than 20% of the outstanding token supply must vote “Yes” on a proposal for it to pass.
> Note: Requires at least 2 persons to be approved

> Vote Duration is the length of time that the vote will be open for participation. For example, if the Vote Duration is set to 24 hours, then token holders have 24 hours to participate in the vote.

### There are multiple scenarios:
And this apply also to 5 persons

1. Only one person votes **YES**:
Result: The proposal gets **rejected**
2. Two persons votes **YES**:
Result: It gets **approved**
3. Two persons votes **YES** and one votes **NO**:
Result: The transaction gets **approved**
4. Two persons votes **YES** and two Persones votes **NO**
Result: it will be **rejected**
