artifact_kind: policy-bundle-card artifact_name: themis-dao-governance-standard version: 1.0.0 owner: Themis · dispute-resolution team last_reviewed: 2026-04-25 next_review: 2026-07-25 domain: themis related_phase_179_tasks: [179.2.3, 179.4.1.4, 179.7.2]#

1. Identity#

  • Bundle name: themis-dao-governance-standard
  • Domain: governance / DAO (themis_governance template-domain code).
  • Use-case classes it applies to: dao_governance, optionally platform_dispute for inter-DAO conflicts.
  • Operational mode: governance_process.

2. Contents#

  • Clause templates included: the DAO playbook in libs/nous/agreement-search/src/domain-candidate-generators.ts (daoGovernancePlaybook) generates compromise-amendment variants spanning:
    • governance_rights payload — voting rights, proposal rights, veto carve-outs
    • voting_threshold payload — quorum, supermajority, time-locked decisions
    • money payload — treasury allocation, milestone disbursements
    • monitoring payload — audit rights, transparency reports, sunset clauses
    • restitution payload — clawback if milestones missed
  • Constraints enforced:
    • linear: treasury sub-allocations sum to ≤ proposal cap; supermajority threshold ≥ quorum threshold
    • temporal: time-lock windows non-negative; sunset dates ≥ proposal activation
    • fairness: minority-protection minimum (max-min utility > 0 encoded in the candidate-filter gate)
  • Mandatory human-review flags:
    • Treasury proposals above tenant threshold route to dao_steward (§179.5.3.1) and compliance_officer.
    • Quorum / threshold changes route to dao_steward + at least one delegate from each impacted faction.
    • Election challenges and delegate-misconduct flows route to legal_counsel (§179.7.2.3).
  • Jurisdictional coverage: world baseline; per-jurisdiction overlays where DAO regulation applies (BVI, KY, US-WY for LLC- wrapped DAOs).

3. Sources#

  • Drafting authority: Themis governance team with input from DAO steward councils; clause structures referenced against Aragon, Snapshot, and Compound governance precedents.
  • Academic / professional references: see docs/research/bibliography.md §dao-governance.
  • Related institutional rules: Wyoming DAO LLC Act (US-WY); BVI Business Companies Act 2004 amendments for DAO wrappers.

4. Evaluation#

  • Coverage against domain precedent corpus: every variant materializes a valid Zod-parsed term-family payload; the domain-candidate-generators.test.ts suite asserts this.
  • Enforceability audit: smart-contract execution paths (§179.7.2.4 Aje escrow) are validated against the agreement DSL prior to any on-chain anchoring; the kill-switch in feature-flags.ts (smart_contract_execution) gates production execution.
  • Fairness posture: minority-protection minimum is structural; the coalition-stability optimizer (see coalition-stability) is the recommended search kernel for cases with potential blocking coalitions.

5. Use#

  • How Concordia loads this bundle: orchestrator selects this bundle when useCaseClass = dao_governance. Recorded in the reproducibility manifest's policyPins.
  • Consumers:
    • generateSeedCandidates
    • coalition-stability optimizer (recommended for ≥ 3 parties)
    • validator.ts (static validation)

6. Refresh#

  • Drift triggers: changes to US-WY DAO LLC Act, BVI DAO amendments, EU MiCA implementation, DAO precedent rulings.
  • Last refresh: 2026-04-25.
