What makes a DAO a DAO (Pol.is data review)

Task: Review Pol.is data and draw conclusions to finish section on DAO Ethos

Consensus on DAO qualities

There is consensus among participants that a DAO has at least these qualities. Consensus means that at least 60% of participants agreed with these statements.

Decentralised power: no single source of authority
Autonomous: self-sovereign, not bound to an external coercive force
A common goal, vision or set of values that are (being) worked towards
open-door politics (instead of hidden agendas)

Notes:

Group C, D, and E have a similar voting profile for the 5 statements

Lack of consensus on DAO qualities

An organization where everyone has the same goal. The decision is shared among all the people. I would say: A real Democracy.
Crowdfunded, not VC funded
Permissionless
Proof of identity is required to trust a dao.

Opinion Groups

Summary:

Group C, D, and E have a similar voting profile. Group B adds a new perspective, but with only 5 people, I’m cautious to draw conclusions from it. Group A has a different view on what makes a DAO. The point of disagreement is how transparent a DAO is.
