**Dear members of Permanence DAO,**

We have announced our **conflict of interest (CoI) policy** following the receipt of our **Decentralized Voices (DV) delegation** on the **27th of March, 2025**. The definition of the policy, [published](https://x.com/PermanenceDAO/status/1905223487976783987) on the Permanence DAO Twitter account, is as follows:

> As part of its conflict of interest policy, Permanence DAO will abstain from using the voting power granted through the DV delegation on any proposal that directly or indirectly benefits any of its members.

> While direct benefit includes the cases where a member is the proponent of a proposal, indirect benefit occurs when a member has a financial affiliation with the proposing organization, has a partnership with a beneficiary, or holds a stakeholder position in a beneficiary.

The policy above was agreed upon by members in an internal poll held on the **Permanence DAO private Telegram channel** on the **16th of March, 2025,** with **7 aye votes**. This proposal aims to **formalize the policy** with the signed votes of the members and to define the **complementary terms** to the policy as follows:

1. Any member who has a **direct or indirect financial or business interest**, as defined by the policy text above, in any Polkadot or Kusama proposal to be voted on by Permanence DAO must **disclose the conflict of interest prior to the on-chain submission** of the proposal.

2. If a member enters **business negotiations** with the proposer during the **on-chain decision or confirmation periods** of a proposal, they must **immediately inform the DAO**, so that the DAO can activate its policy to **protect itself and the DV delegation** from conflicts of interest.

3. Any member with **sufficient evidence** of another member **violating the conflict of interest policy or the additional terms** listed above may **initiate an internal referendum** for the **demotion** of the violating member from **voting member to general member**, effectively removing their voting rights within Permanence DAO. A **simple majority** with **80% participation** shall be required for the decision.

**The rationale behind this proposal is twofold:**

1. To prevent the DV delegation granted by the Web3 Foundation from providing **disproportionate business advantage** to the members of Permanence DAO over the wider community of business actors in Polkadot and Kusama.
2. To prevent DAO members from being **lobbied by a potentially violating member** toward a **biased opinion** on referenda and proposers. 

This proposal does not define a policy for the **critical case** of a member entering into business negotiations with a proposer **after the submission of the first on-chain AYE vote including the DV delegation voting power**. This condition shall be **discussed by the members during the first two weekly calls following the submission** of this internal referendum. Another internal referendum for amendment may be initiated by members where necessary.

**Please vote at your convenience. Members and the wider community are welcome to suggest additions or amendments.**

**Kind regards.**

**Dear Permanence DAO members and community,**

In tandem with our recently refined [CoI Policy](https://voting.opensquare.io/p/502),  following our participation in the **Decentralized Voices (DV)** delegation on the **27th of March, 2025**. we've been working on the formalization of our **voting policy** which has been adopted by the core membership as the guiding framework for all internal votes, treasury proposal evaluations, and on-chain voting activity. The policy aims to establish a transparent, consistent, and principled approach to voting and proposal evaluation in alignment with our responsibilities within the **Polkadot** ecosystem.

This proposal outlines the fundamental mechanisms of our voting system and defines its key operational rules as follows:

DOTs delegated to Permanence DAO through the Web3 Foundation’s **Decentralized Voices program** are governed by our recently updated [CoI Policy](https://voting.opensquare.io/p/502):

- The DAO **abstains** from voting on any proposal that directly or indirectly benefits any core member.
- Only **core members present at the time of DV election** may vote using these delegated funds.
- For votes using **DAO-owned funds**, only the member with a conflict is required to abstain; others may vote freely.


After our decision to separate the voting power of the DAO's **own funds** from the DOTs delegated by the **DV program**, voting power of the DAO's **own funds** will be distributed with a final 54% to 46% split between the core members and the community members respectively. The core members **always retain a 54% majority at the least**, and the split process is **dynamic** as more community members join to prevent any single community member of wielding too much voting power.


Proposals are categorized into **five priority levels**. Each level determines how urgently the DAO must act:

- **Priority 1–2 (High urgency)**: Structural or large treasury proposals. Require action within 1–2 weeks, with feedback and reminders sent throughout.
- **Priority 3 (Medium spenders):** Make up one-third of all proposals. Require a 2-week deadline with minimal reminders.
- **Priority 4–5 (Low spenders/tippers):** Require fast but minimal effort decisions.

The following outlines the quorum and majority requirements for each proposal track to be voted as Aye, in cases where the majority of votes are Abstain, the final vote is cast as Abstain:​

- **Priority 1** (e.g., Root, Fellowship Admin): **60% quorum, 57% majority.​**
- **Priority 2** (e.g., Big Spender, Treasurer): **60% quorum, 57% majority.​**
- **Priority 3** (Medium Spender): **50% quorum, 50% majority.​**
- **Priority 4** (Small Spender, Big Tipper): **35% quorum, 50% majority.​**
- **Priority 5** (Small Tipper): **30% quorum, 50% majority.​**

The detailed voting policy will be posted in its entirety on our public [document hub](https://docs.permanence.io/) for new members and the Polkadot community to familiarize themselves. **The policy will be in effect after the internal vote is concluded until further voting by the core members to change parts, or the whole if it. Failure to comply with the voting policy outlined above may result in demotion from the core membership and may, for repeat offenders and after taking an internal vote,  result in removal from the DAO.**

Please vote at your convenience. Members and the wider community are welcome to suggest additions or amendments.

Kind regards.

**Dear members of Permanence DAO,**

This internal referendum proposes a **mandate** that **voting members of Permanence DAO be prohibited from voting in any other Decentralized Voices-delegated DAO or group** throughout **Cohort IV**. This mandate shall remain in effect for **any subsequent cohort** in which Permanence DAO is delegated by the Web3 Foundation.

**Any member with sufficient evidence** of another member cross-voting, as described above, may post an internal referendum for the **demotion** of the violating member from **voting member to general membership**, effectively **removing their voting rights** within Permanence DAO. A **simple majority with 80% participation** shall be required for the decision.

The rationale behind this proposal is twofold:

1. **Cross-voting across DV-delegated DAOs provides disproportionate voting power** to individuals. Several proponent and non-proponent community members have recently raised concerns about the undesired consequences of this situation.

2. **Cross-voting and cross-influence prevent unique DAO policies and characteristics from emerging.** This undermines the **diversity and richness of contributions, philosophies, and cultures** that are expected to emerge from DAOs in the Polkadot ecosystem.

The mandate described in this proposal was **implicitly agreed upon** by members present at the **weekly DAO call on the 11th of April, 2025**. This referendum now seeks **explicit consensus** on the matter and **the inclusion of the mandate in the DAO’s formal documents.**

This proposal by no means aims to stifle **dialogue between DAOs or the cross-pollination of ideas**. Permanence DAO supports **inter-DAO communication and cultural exchange**, and members are encouraged to take part in discussions across various dialogue channels of different DAOs.

**Please vote at your convenience. Members and the wider community are welcome to suggest additions or amendments.**

**Kind regards.**

[INT] PDAO #3 - Internal Mandate for the Prevention of Cross-Voting Across DV-Delegated DAOs

**To the members of Permanence DAO and the wider Polkadot community,**

This public internal referendum proposes to make it **mandatory** for the complete suite of **community- and user-facing software** produced by Permanence DAO to be **developed and maintained as open-source** throughout both the development and release cycles. This is to ensure:

1. **The protection of the community and users** through open and auditable codebases.
2. **Alignment with the ethos of free software, Web3, and cypherpunk values.**
3. **Open access to the knowledge embedded in the code** for any interested developer.

This mandate applies to, but is not limited to:

1. **Chat bots**
2. **Voting automation infrastructure**
3. **Websites**
4. **User-facing software products**

**Current set of tools** developed by the DAO members and used by the DAO are **fully open-source**:

1. **Opensquare** ([Link](https://voting.opensquare.io/space/permanence), [GitHub](https://github.com/opensquare-network/collaboration))
2. **Telegram bot and supporting services** ([GitHub](https://github.com/permanence-dao/permanence-dao-services))
3. **Website** ([Link](https://permanence.io/), [GitHub](https://github.com/permanence-dao/permanence-dao-web))
4. **Documentation site** ([Link](https://docs.permanence.io/), [GitHub](https://github.com/permanence-dao/permanence-dao-docs))

All **future software development** is to be carried out in a repository under the DAO’s **official GitHub organisation**, currently at [https://github.com/permanence-dao](https://github.com/permanence-dao).

A **separate proposal** will be submitted to determine the specific **licence types** (e.g. MIT, Apache 2.0, or GPLv3) to be applied to different use cases.

As usual, **members are expected to provide rationale for their votes**.

This proposal is about changing the target for coretime sales in the Kusama ecosystem. The main idea is to adjust the "ideal_bulk_proportion" parameter from 100% to 40%. This change will help coretime prices be more realistic and benefit the Kusama ecosystem. The main use of KSM is to pay for coretime, but the current prices are very low, which is not good for the system. By making this change, we can find the true value of coretime and keep the current inflation rate that supports validator operations. This is just a starting point, and the parameter can be adjusted in the future based on how the market responds and the needs of the ecosystem.

This project is about creating a smart contract and user interface for a private and secure platform on the Kusama Hub. The total prize money is $43,000, with a $2,000 finder's fee. The supervisors are Flipchan, Byte (Erin), and James Slusser. The project timeline starts on March 17 and ends on July 31.

The project includes:
- Smart contract development with private deposits and withdrawals, and compatibility with all Kusama Hub assets.
- A browser-based, mobile-ready user interface that supports deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and XCM transfers.
- Anti-correlation attack mitigations, like fixed deposit amounts and batch payouts for withdrawals.
- Interoperability to receive assets from any Kusama-connected parachain.
- Open-source delivery of all code and documentation.

There are three milestones:
1. Initial Pools & Basic UI: $16,200, 1 month.
2. UI + XCM: $9,900, 1 month.
3. Mainnet Deployment: $16,900, 1-1.5 months.

The finder's fee is set aside to find the right implementor and is paid out at the time of team engagement. Teams that submit themselves can collect their own finder's fee at the completion of the project.
