1. Proposal Purpose:
I.) Reinforce and improve the ability for the DAO & SubDAO’s to engage and execute with greater efficiency, whilst maintaining a level of security and protections against potential centralization or manipulation. Evaluating multiple blockchain consensus models, and cross-referencing other popular DAO organizations, this proposal seeks to explore the opportunity within GRAPE to augment the organizational structure by implementing an intermediary level of limited delegated authority to a set of individuals selected based on willingness, merit and democratic process.
II.) A new role defined as an assembly or “Council” is defined as a dedicated set of individuals responsible for the management, maintenance, documentation, upkeep, tracking, assignment, and, transparency of DAO & SubDAO initiatives, proposals, or, tasks. Current state of the DAO &/or SubDAOs are a unique groups of individuals with equal authority and voting weight that must meet certain requirements to participate in proposals, voting and decisioning for the Root & Sub DAO’s. Example: DAO Members must be Class A “Gorilla” and maintain a Skill Role. SubDAO members must maintain a Skill Role associated with their respective skill/SubDAO.
2. Grape Proposal Overview:

[DAO and SubDAO members may also escalate to remove any Council member found to be violating their duties intentionally or unintentionally.]III.) Organization: Councils are groups of a minimum of 2, but no more than 5 individuals. Currently, there are 1 root DAO and 6 subDAOs = 7 Groups with a maximum of 5 Council members each.
