Please describe your proposed solution.

To stimulate more community involvement in governance within Catalyst, we propose to use the Summon Platform to host one seat on Circle in which any ADA holder can vote on policy through.

How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

This will bring more participation to catalyst governance as ones vote will have an impact on policy and governance decisions. It will improve the catalyst governance system overall.

How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

Voter participation and a more educated ecosystem.

Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

Everyone should know when a vote is happening through the DAO via twitter, discord, or telegram announcements. They should also be given a summary of each position in the vote. This is how people will know the outputs and the results of a member of circle becoming a DAO.

What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

We literally just have to establish a DAO on Summon as a circle member. Our first vote can be to keep or remove the DAO as a member of circle if the community takes controversy with this proposal. This is super easy and anyone can do it.

What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

We already know it is feasible because other DAO's have been established on summon. The issue lies in communicating votes, the importance of votes, and getting voter participation. We can fund voter incentives in the future if people like this idea.

Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

1 ADA

Goal 1 - Create the Circle DAO member on Summon.

Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

Goal 1: Create the Circle DAO member on Summon and then let people vote on it.

Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

1 ADA - To get this proposal passed.

14,999 ADA to give back to the treasury or just not claim at all.

Who is in the project team and what are their roles?

Kevin Mohr - Make the circle based DAO member and talk about it.

Quasar - Talk about the circle based DAO member.

How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

The ADA in this proposal will not be claimed by anyone. We will either put the money towards a DAO multisig or give it back to the catalyst treasury.

If we are allowed to give the money back you are paying an American quarter to get a return that could be revolutionary for governance in Cardano. There is almost no risk.
