Losing DAO Masons Core Membership
- To lose DAO Masons core membership:

- 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
- 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.
- 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.
