Council stewardship

Council mandate, controls, and operating roles for GridMind DAO

The council page should present the DAO Council as a bounded execution and stewardship body: responsible for implementing approved decisions, safeguarding continuity, and maintaining transparent operating discipline without becoming an independent policy authority.

Founding seats

7

Initial operating model for launch governance before broader community rotation.

Term length

12m

Renewable 12-month terms are the implementation baseline for the founding council.

Decision rule

Simple majority

One council vote per member for standard council decisions.

Execution model

Multi-sig

Treasury and sensitive actions route through disclosed multi-signature controls rather than unilateral access.

Mandate and controls

What the council can do, and what it cannot do

This screen should reinforce the constitutional boundary between governance approval, council execution, and treasury control rather than presenting the council as a generic team workspace.

Execution and stewardship body

active

The Council exists to implement duly approved governance decisions and maintain protocol continuity. It is not a parallel policy center.

  • Implements approved proposals and constitutional process
  • Safeguards continuity during normal operations and approved transitions
  • Supports oversight, reporting, and milestone verification during early operating phases

Bounded by constitutional limits

live

Council powers stay constrained by the DAO constitution, treasury policy, and public governance safeguards.

  • No independent policy-making authority
  • No unilateral treasury access
  • Emergency powers limited by scope, value, and duration

Reporting and accountability

live

The operating model expects regular reporting, transparent voting records, and visible governance activity for public trust.

  • Monthly performance and council activity reporting
  • Public treasury transparency and auditable vote records
  • Conflict-of-interest disclosure and review expectations
