At FWB, members can create a proposal for a project that they think would benefit the FWB community.
One way to think of a proposal is a trade offer: "Proposal: FWB commits <X>, and in return we receive <Y>". Members can help shape the future of FWB by participating in governance and by creating proposals.
At the time of this writing, proposals is usually done in an ad hoc manner, although there is a formalized proposals process set to be released in the near future by the Memberships Team.
Proposals typically start with a conversation in any FWB Discord channel. From there, the next step is for one or more members create a Google doc outlining the project, its impact, and the project's request for funding.
Once the proposal doc is created, a thread is created in the #live-proposals channel, and the proposal is discussed and workshopped.
Proposals are typically green-lit and receive funding at the beginning of a Season, but are occasionally green-lit mid-Season if the need is urgent.
To view governance proposals and snapshot votes visit the #live-proposals channel on Discord.
Community-led initiatives that require support from the DAO start life as a proposal. If you have an idea for an opportunity to improve FWB or a solution to a problem you see in FWB, a proposal is a good way to make it happen.
There are two categories for proposals: Departmental and DAO.
Proposals fall under the departmental category if they can be implemented and housed under existing FWB teams and work streams. The DAO category refers to proposals that affect the entire organization and involve larger community buy-in.
Here are some examples of what FWB members can propose:
