@BET I'd like to leave my comments here since I'm working on the Governance stage proposal for this. [quote="BET, post:2, topic:23119"] **Ensuring sustainability** doesn’t sound very prosperous. If our focus is to solely “sustain” then it lacks drive as we pitter towards our ultimate and inevitable doom. [/quote] Since Decentraland is a public good with a non-profit approach, sustainability makes sense. I agree that sustainability does not mean staying stable but growing for a project to thrive. The goal of the DAO should be to ensure that the resource influx grows so we can invest more in our community and the protocol. But the end goal is not the profit but having a sustainable ecosystem. [quote="BET, post:2, topic:23119"] **representative governance** is not something that I think we should be focused on or draw attention towards. As it sounds centralized. [/quote] I believe that representative governance is the best we can do given the state of the community and the project. Delegates, councils, people with high context taking decisions while being accountable to the community. [quote="BET, post:2, topic:23119"] **efficient management of collective resources** - Once again kind of lacks prosperity. But this is ultimately decided by the higher tier members. So this part is becoming out of the hands of the general DAO user anyway. So it won’t be the DAOs focus to manage the resources anyway. This creates a confusion between who is running the DAO. [/quote] The missions drives and inspires everyone on the ecosystem, not only members who make some decisions. Regarding your proposal: [quote="BET, post:2, topic:23119"] I feel like the mission should focus more on Longevity. (Makes it seem like we are thriving and live forever!) Decentralization. Inclusiveness of all members rich or poor. (autonomy) Better organisation. [/quote] Longevity and sustainability for me are kinda the same thing. Decentralization is something we discussed in Lisbon for hours, technical decentralization and openness are critical for the project, but decentralization in the abstract sounds like a buzzword. And should be part of the vision (Currently: “Own your digital life through open standards to enable social connections.”) The autonomy part is reflected in the vision as well, ownership means autonomy.

[quote="dao, post:1, topic:23119"] efficient management of collective resources, and technical innovation. [/quote] @ginoct Can u please elaborate on this.

This mission makes sense. But I think the mission is lacking personality and doesn't feel very inviting. **Ensuring sustainability** doesn't sound very prosperous. If our focus is to solely "sustain" then it lacks drive as we pitter towards our ultimate and inevitable doom. **representative governance** is not something that I think we should be focused on or draw attention towards. As it sounds centralized. **efficient management of collective resources** - Once again kind of lacks prosperity. But this is ultimately decided by the higher tier members. So this part is becoming out of the hands of the general DAO user anyway. So it won't be the DAOs focus to manage the resources anyway. This creates a confusion between who is running the DAO. **technical innovation.** I like this terminology. I feel like the mission should focus more on Longevity. (Makes it seem like we are thriving and live forever!) Decentralization. Inclusiveness of all members rich or poor. (autonomy) Better organisation. In the tier system the mission is decided by the 1 member in the "GOD tier".. If the users of a DAO need to constantly redefine the terminology of what a DAO is then it only adds more confusion and divide between regular DAO users and the people that are getting paid to build the technology. A divide of classes won't appease everyone. TLDR; Deciding the mission statement should be the job of the higher tiers. So we need a tier system so we can all figure out what our roles are.
