ON THE BALLOT: This AIP Aims To Make The DAO More Efficient By Streamlining Administrative Proposals

This Ape Improvement Proposal hopes to make the DAO more efficient by empowering the Special Council to make administrative changes without a DAO-wide vote.

AIP-266 titled ‘Authorize Special Council to issue Directives for more efficient DAO operation,’ is a process proposal written by ApeCoin DAO Contributor ApeForLife.

“The proposal seeks to formalize a process for Special Council to give Directives to make DAO administration more efficient and to enable Special Council to immediately implement improvements to administrative functions of the DAO by Special Council themselves or on receipt of a request from any member or administrative worker of the DAO,” ApeForLife wrote.

If passed, AIP-266 would create a new type of proposal dubbed ‘Efficiency Improvement Suggestion’ or EIS.

EIS proposals will go directly to the DAO’s Facilitators who will then forward the EIS to the Special Council for their consideration and publish the EIS under a new EIS tab on the Discourse within two days.

The Special Council will then have 12 days to either accept or reject the EIS.

AIP-266 would also create a new ‘Drafter’ role at the ApeCoin DAO and AIP-266 author, ApeForLife, will fill the position if passed.

This Drafter position will “liaise with Special Council when Special Council requires the Drafter to formally draft the reasons of rejection or approval and Directives as per their instructions. The Drafter will then prepare and forward the relevant draft to Special Council within 2 business days after receiving instructions from them,” according to AIP-266.

Altogether, ApeForLife is requesting that the ApeCoin DAO allocate 48,000 $Ape to AIP-266. This sum of 48,000 $Ape will be utilized to provide a monthly salary of 2,000 $Ape for ApeForLife's newly assumed role as Drafter.

The window to vote on AIP-266 is currently open and ApeCoin DAO Contributors have until next Wednesday, August 16th, to cast their coins.
