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.
