This proposal seeks to clarify the roles, responsibilities and OKRs of the Design Guild. This does not seek to supplant or replace CIP-69, unless it does not pass a Snapshot vote, at which point this proposal may move to an independent Snapshot vote.
Our focus this quarter is on the following 3 objectives:
-
To continue growing a talented, diverse and open community of designers that are committed to CityDAO’s mission and vision.
-
To work closely with the Development Guild to ship well-designed products.
-
To work collaboratively with all guilds to fulfill design requests as needed.
