Proposal Template

PREAMBLE V1.0 should have enough depth to make an investment decision & get a more detailed execution plan from our contractors. If there is not extensive development work, then this proposal should fulfill most criteria required to make a decision for investment.

Below is both the template & an example proposal: Proposal for an Decentralized Autonomous Web (DAW) solution for "The DAO" & to generate external profits from the DAW technology that gets developed via "reserved" tokens.

V0.2 Proposal Template - EXAMPLE: DAW Proposal - based on TheDefGuy's Original Call-to-Action (C2A):

Intro: The DAO requires a web & collaboration solution, similar to: daohub.org in terms of features & scope, which has the following properties:

• Has minimal to no counter-party threats
• Cannot be censored
• Has no single point of failure (SPOF)
• Scales elastically based upon demand (similar to p2p architecture)
• Does not rely on a single vendor
• Is opensource
• Has a token solution in which a portion of tokens are reserved for developers & The DAO funders
• Problem Statement:
• Currently the DAO web & collaboration system hosted by a generous few members on centralized web technology & hosting.

This creates numerous risks for the DAO including but not limited to:

• Counter-party threats (Government)
• Censoring (by curators or others)
• Availability issues (centralized points of failure)
• Costs to a single contractor, etc....
• Solution:
• Enlist a contracted entity to build a p2p web & collaboration solution, for the DAO, which can then be leveraged by others & incentivized by tokens to ensure peer availability. Similar to:
• https://freenetproject.org
• http://getaether.net/
• https://zeronet.io/
• A traditional http entry node which links to our p2p web stack to ensure easy accessibility for new comers to The DAO.

Traction:

• See this thread for demand from within the DAO.
• I'll add links to external market demand for this type of solution in an update.

Market Size (total potential return):

• To be added in next update.

Customers / TAM (Total Addressable Market):

• The DAO
• Everyone hosting websites today
• Size
• Current revenue size

Sales Strategy:

• Looking for proposals (RFP) on sales & demand strategies from the vendor who builds the technology

Execution Strategy:

• Looking for proposals (RFP) from the vendor who builds the technology

Partners:

• Looking for proposals (RFP) from the vendor who builds the technology Revenue Model:
• Generally token based, with reserves going to The DAO & contractor who builds solution for us.
• Looking for proposals (RFP) from the vendor who builds the technology

Competition:

• Coming in next update.

Management:

• The DAO

Board Members:

• The DAO
• Potential seats for contractors who build solution to have some equity as a development incentive model

Financials (if existing):

• Coming in next update.

The Offer / Value to the DAO: Enable the DAO to have a truly decentralized, autonomous (in terms of moderation, & operations), web & collaboration solution, that doesn't require our depends upon a single vendor, or traditional centralized web. We face unknown threats & risks, which would be mitigated by having an un-censorable web & collaboration solution, so we can always adapt our strategy via collaboration to marketplace & threats we face.
