The purpose of these requirements is to allow Aurorians to make informed decisions before casting their votes. The first step is to open a new post under the #proposals section in Discord with the following information at a minimum:
Title
Purpose/Goal
Analysis of merits, drawbacks, and risks (if applicable)
Once the forum post reaches 20 thumbs-up reactions, the initiator must write the proposal in a Google Doc to submit it to the Council.
This document does not need to be an extensive report (e.g., a single A4 page will suffice). However, it is the responsibility of the proposer to provide a clear argument and analysis.
When the Council decides to move forward with a proposal for voting, they will also provide their thoughts on the merits, drawbacks, and risks, generally within a single A4 page. Additional documents are optional.
The Council will review the proposal, provide feedback, and then set up a Matrica vote, where every holder will be able to vote in favor of or against the proposal. /!\ If a proposal is meant to hurt the project, the Council can decide to reject it without any votes.
Proposal Type
Description
Emergency
Meant for pressing matters that must be decided upon immediately.
Can only be proposed by Council Members (so if you think that there is something that needs to be decided urgently please reach a counselor) and
It requires a qualified majority of 4 votes from the Council to be put to a vote (Head of Council + 3)
Ordinary
Meant for day-to-day and ordinary course of business decisions, basically any proposal that it's not urgent or extraordinary.
Extraordinary
Meant for matters that either require the use of a significant portion of our treasury ($100,000) or involve the council structure (replace a member that is suddenly indisposed to carry out his/her duties as Council Member, increase or reduce the number of Council Members, impeach an existing Council Member, etc.).
