About a year ago, we crowdsourced some questions for a DAO leader in the Discord, too:

Introductions

What is your advice to newly formed DAO orgs/groups?
What are your "meat and potatoes" for real-world implementation and best practices?
What can regular members do to help ease the transition from theoretical to real-world?

Platforms

What challenges have you observed in transitioning new users to decentralized governance, and how are you addressing these?
What strategies have you implemented to engage and grow your community, especially among those new to decentralization?
How do you handle the process of moving from a proposal to implementing an agreed-upon change in your DAO? (What steps are taken?)

How do you ensure that participants are engaged?
- What do you do when engagement is not sufficient to meet the required quorum?
How do you ensure fairness and prevent manipulation in the governance of your DAO?
- Is your DAO at the point where it can function with no or minimal interference from its founders?
- How did you get to this point, and what challenges did you face?
Has there been a situation where founders had to step in to prevent things from going awry?
- If the above has not happened, what have you put in place to prevent this?

How do you weigh voting rights, and what is your reasoning for this choice?
- Please discuss the general structure of your DAO and why you decided on this rather than an alternative.
If you could go back to the beginning, knowing what you know now, would you change anything about how you set up your DAO?
Do you have any specific recommendations for the WhyDRS DAO?
- Are there any particular challenges or opportunities that the WhyDRS DAO should pay close attention to?¹
