Losing DAO Masons Core Membership

  • To lose DAO Masons core membership:
    • Voluntarily exit the DAO
    • An Inactivity or Bad Faith Demotion proposal passes

Demotion

A Demoted member has voting shares converted to non-voting shares.

Inactivity Demotion

Inactivity Demotion occurs when a member is not meeting the DAO Masons Activity criteria and a Demotion Proposal passes to Demote them.

Activity Critieria

  1. They have made an active contribution to at least one project within the last 90 days evidenced by receiving at least one share within a project.
  2. Have participated with DAO Governance and/or Key DAO Decisions within the past 90 days.

We understand that there are valid reasons to step away from a DAO for a period of time and this Inactivity Demotion is intended to account for that and optimize governance.

Bad Faith Demotion

Bad Faith Demotion occurs when the DAO agrees that a member is operating in Bad Faith. An example may be attempting to steal or divert DAO funds.

A Bad Faith Demotion generally implies that the former member should never be voted back into member status.

Promotion

A member who has been Demoted can be Promoted with a passing Promotion Proposal.
