Governance Framework Overview

deScier members are in control of all governance decisions by voting on deScier proposals. Proposals can be made by any deScier member. deScier members can create proposals by posting in the “proposals” section on Discourse, gaining community support, and eventually electing to put the proposal to a token-based vote.

deScier working groups consist of domain experts to help guide member decisions in various work streams and organizational processes. Working groups can help define proposals for the deScier members. deScier may engage service providers covering any third-party experts to provide services to the DAO in exchange for compensation.

In the beginning deScier will follow best and successful practices executed in the scientific publication industry, anticipating different decentralized governance mechanisms to emerge.
