Thesis:
Establish partnership and governance of The DAOist via a Dawn Ministry
Abstract:
This proposal would establish Juicebox as a Ministry holder (1 of 18) via The DAOist’s new Dawn governance mechanism. The purpose of this would be to deepen the alignment between Juicebox and The DAOist, as well as giving Juicebox voting power regarding future activities and actions of The DAOist.
Motivation:
The DAOist supports the cultural revolution needed to enable a world of DAOists. We do this by creating initiatives that drive the development of the DAOist lifestyle characterized by purpose, ownership, collaboration, and openness. Our mission is to transition as many people as possible into DAOist, self-aware agents that contribute to the development of DAOs - not just one DAO, but DAOs as a whole.
Introducing Dawn:
Dawn will serve as a political engine that allows our community to build and govern the Lisbon Metahub and the future of The DAOist’s endeavors in full. From here we will springboard other Embassies, create new DAOist global events, and facilitate DAO-to-DAO coordination.
The core team intends to use Dawn to validate assumptions, sensemake around sponsorship pricing, deciding what territories to focus on, ticketing protocol etc. - sharing large scope decisions with the communities we serve and forming a de facto governing body.
For this initiative, DawnDAO offers its own set of sponsorship packages. We think it would be mutually beneficial for Juicebox to participate by acquiring one of our 18 Ministry slots, for a seat at the table. This step would also help to solidify synergies between Juicebox and The DAOist.
The idea of Juicebox holding a Ministry is a powerful one, especially as The DAOist iterates and promotes new forms of governance as well, and can collaborate on initiatives. Holders of a Ministry can choose an area/vertical/domain for their Ministry. We would honor you as a reference in that domain and give you access to a set of sponsorship perks alongside governance power. These include residencies at our new Lisbon Metahub: a fully equipped co-working & co-living space for up to 16 people simultaneously, from which we will unfold the global scope of The DAOist. There’s also huge opportunity to have irl DAO2DAO collaborative retreats, whether planned or serendipitous, has the potential to enhance the scope of DAO composability.
By executing Dawn we will equip a rising class of DAOplomats with sustained communications support, publishing platform, permanent spaces and a shared event brand that is validated and already profitable. Core is tasked with seizing a wide array of unfolding venture opportunities that can bring the project to sustainability while delivering cultural public goods. Our focus tracks are Culture, Governance and Technology.
Specification:
Juicebox makes payment of 25K in exchange for Ministry package
Timeline:
One time payout, at end of funding cycle (ie 14 days from Temperature Check)
FAQ:
What is the cost of the Ministry package?

What DAOist event perks are included for Ministries?
- Priority access to additional DAOist tickets before releasing to the general public (The DAOist events are often free and curated - by securing a ministry you know you will always be in)
What Lisbon Metahub perks are included for Ministries?
- Coworking + Dormitory access for “delegate” token holders (subject to availability)
- Priority for ‘Residency Program’ agenda setting - effectively a perennial plug and play off site space for inter and intra team collaboration to speed up your projects’ ship rate - including on staff documentation team to publish the process and results of the co creation
Will the Ministry slot need to be re-purchased at a later date?
- The benefits described here do not have an expiration date. The runway generated by this sponsorship set should be able to fund the DAOist’s path to sustainability by fleshing out several revenue streams with events, services and products instead of resales involving Dawn Governance
- Any other decisions will be made by the DAO. It will still retain 49.6% of the total agreed supply of governance power after sponsorship slots are sold
