# MetaBlazeDAO

### Counting Votes Across Galaxia Blue

As we advance the MetaBlaze Ecosystem, certain topics will warrant Community input. To be clear, the MetaBlaze Decentralized Autonomous Organization (<mark style="color:blue;">**MetaBlazeDAO**</mark>) will not serve as a governance tool for the whole of the organization. Instead, topics involving certain Reward Structures, roll-outs, product prioritization, and more may be put to vote via the DAO.

Participation requirements will vary depending on the topic up for vote.

The MetaBlazeDAO will consist of three branches:

1. *<mark style="color:blue;">Community Members (token holders)</mark>*
2. *<mark style="color:blue;">Proposal Managers</mark>*
3. *<mark style="color:blue;">Custodian/Guardian</mark>*

Any <mark style="color:blue;">**Community Member**</mark> may submit a <mark style="color:blue;">**Proposal**</mark> to the <mark style="color:blue;">**Proposal Managers**</mark> for review. Proposal Managers convene periodically to determine if the Proposal meets the following criteria:

* Proposals must be presented explicitly and specifically, and must be <mark style="color:blue;">**SMART**</mark>:
  * <mark style="color:blue;">**S**</mark>pecific in its explanation
  * <mark style="color:blue;">**M**</mark>easurable in how success/failure will be determined
  * <mark style="color:blue;">**A**</mark>ttainable in its defined scope
  * <mark style="color:blue;">**R**</mark>ealistic in its expressed goal
  * <mark style="color:blue;">**T**</mark>ime-bound (not open-ended) in its execution
* The Proposal must not place the Company, its Community/Team Members, or Company Products/Services in peril as a result of its implementation

As long as the above criteria is met, the Proposal may be advanced to the voting stage.

For a Proposal Vote to be considered <mark style="color:blue;">Passed</mark>, it must meet the <mark style="color:blue;">**Quorum**</mark>, or minimum approved vote participation threshold.

After a Proposal Vote is passed, the DAO <mark style="color:blue;">**Guardian/Custodian**</mark> executes the specific action required as part of the Proposal.

We are looking forward to going into more detail about the MetaBlazeDAO as we get closer to deployment.
