ABSTRACT:

This AIP proposes a novel approach for ApeChain development by prohibiting the use of a traditional Request for Proposal (RFP) process and instead coordinating a consolidated voting period for multiple existing ApeChain proposals. This method aims to streamline decision-making and enhance community involvement. The simultaneous voting, scheduled for a two-week period at the end of January 2024, is designed to expedite decision-making and maximize community participation in this pivotal development phase.

RATIONALE:

The ApeCoin DAO is currently considering multiple proposals for the ApeChain project, indicating a healthy interest and diverse innovation. A traditional RFP process, in this context, may lead to delays and limit the community’s involvement in the decision-making process. Instead, by facilitating the normal AIP process for these proposals and scheduling concurrent voting, the DAO can efficiently evaluate and choose the most favorable direction for ApeChain. This approach aligns with the ethos of DAOs, focusing on community-driven selection and decentralized decision-making.

SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Prohibition of a RFP Process: Temporarily suspend the use of RFP for ApeChain to avoid potential delays and embrace a more inclusive, community-centric approach.
  • Normal AIP Process for Current Proposals: Process all current ApeChain proposals through the standard AIP system, allowing each to be evaluated on its own merits and in alignment with community values.
  • Coordinated Voting Schedule: Organize a two-week voting period at the end of January 2024 for all ApeChain proposals, facilitating a focused and decisive community vote.

BENEFIT TO THE APECOIN ECOSYSTEM:

  • Efficient Decision-Making: Streamlines the decision-making process, enabling quicker and more effective choices for ApeChain’s future.
  • Increased Community Participation: Fosters greater community engagement and democratic participation in a crucial decision, ensuring diverse input and perspectives.
  • Clarity and Direction: Provides clear direction for ApeChain development, aligning with community preferences and strategic objectives.

STEPS FOR IMPLEMENTATION:

  • Community Communication: Inform the community about this AIP, its rationale, and the benefits of a decentralized decision-making process.
  • Voting Arrangements: Organize the logistics for the simultaneous voting process, ensuring transparency and accessibility.
  • Conduct of Voting: Execute the voting period as planned, emphasizing an inclusive and transparent process.
  • Analysis of Results: Analyze the outcomes and prepare for subsequent steps based on the community’s choice.

TIMELINE:

  • Estimated Completion: End of voting period in January 2024.

BUDGET & FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:

  • Estimated Cost: [To be determined]
  • Funding Source: [To be identified]

Hi @Uzi,

The community feedback period for your proposal would be ending in 24 hours.

  • If you’re content with the feedback received, your next steps are to finalize your proposal using the AIP Draft Template.

  • A moderator will reach out to the author to finalize the AIP Draft. Upon receipt of the final Draft, we will review and provide instructions on the next steps.

  • Are you ready to proceed to the next phase or do you wish to extend community discussion for another 7 days?

We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi @Uzi,

Thank you for your ideas [and the ApeCoin DAO community for the insightful discussions].

  • Once the AIP Draft is confirmed by the author and meets all DAO-approved guidelines, it will receive an AIP ID number and move forward for Draft Analysis Review.
  • @Uzi please see your messages for the next steps.

Follow this Topic as further updates will be posted here in the comments. In accordance with DAO-approved guidelines, if the author does not respond within 30 days, the proposal will be automatically transferred to the Withdrawn category, and the author can re-submit the idea.
