This comes across as you wanting the community to approve you all to just rewrite our bylaws and governing articles without oversight and then present them to us later. Is this the case?
I keep reading comments from team here that this initiative was started as DD because it is going to be a lengthy and detailed process with the community, to make sure we get it all in there together. It comes across in the comments that the team is taking input to build these documents alongside us. But your argument is in contrast to that; it’s seems like asking the DAO to give the team authority to write it yourselves for us, after we’ve already abolished all past governance. Again, this is why I am confused by this initiative. It’s either gonna be a lengthy and detailed process with the community involved, ensuring everything is included like the information in a limited partnership agreement or an operating agreement - or it’s designed to give the team more freedom to make those documents for us (with all past governance already abolished).
If this initiative has the goal of getting our docs and bylaws in order for better corporate efficiency and regulatory compliance, I think it would be absolutely ordinary for “The Board” to be involved in that process and to approve every last article that is inserted into the all encompassing governing bylaws of the organization. Yeah, the team is supposed to work with experts to draft things that would be recognizably secure articles - for both members and managers - and submit them to “The Board” to approve along the way - until we have a thoroughly revised, legally secure, reasonably compliant Full Governing Articles. After these articles are submitted to “The Board” and approved by the board, Then the managing members get to do what they do best, based on Those Governing Documents. Not the other way around.
You’re asking to be given fairly free reign to construct the documents that will govern Your actions, hold You accountable, and ensure the integrity and secure of Our assets. It’s not responsible to put that authority in your hands, it’s not responsible of You to ask for that authority. Get a lawyer, have the lawyer draw up our docs and submit them to us - no need for our new, fairly inexperienced team to be given authority to make it themselves (with past governance abolished while they do it). If I was in your position, I would not accept that kind of responsibility, because I recognize that I am not a legal expert in corporate structure or financial regulations and I was literally tasked with finding an expert to do that for the DAO.
I do understand presenting this concept to the DAO, and being like “hey we’re going to get lawyers to draft us new governing bylaws, this is the kinda stuff we’re gonna have them start with”. And then the community adds their two cents like “oh, make sure the lawyers keep xyz in mind, it’s not mentioned here” and “what about a, b, and c? Are the lawyers going to include that too?”. Of course there would be questions about pay and misunderstandings, but the conversation would be very specifically focused on: What we’re asking our legal representatives to draft for us.
If us non-experts are going to try and figure this out together without legal representatives leading the conversation, it’s simply not secure for us to abolish all past governance in one fell swoop, especially not to then have the team write us new governance articles.
