Abstract:
This project aims to create the Guild Guidelines that determine how a guild is established and intended to work in a transparent and auditable way, guild's scope of work, and how compensation will work for those guilds.
Motivation:
Community is the most valuable asset of MoonDAO. Yet, we still lack an efficient system to onboard, educate and enable our talented members to contribute to the development of MoonDAO.
MoonDAO Guilds are talent pools created to address the above problems. Currently, there are a couple of MoonDAO guilds, namely: growth guild, writing guild, development guild. Yet, they have not been operated in a systematic and effective way. There is a lack of clear definition of guild scope of works, guild member right and responsibility, regular activities (e.g. on-boarding, training, bounties, etc.).
Specification:
This project aims to create the Guild guideline which will help to answer the following questions:
- What is a Guild?
- Who can start a Guild?
- How to start a Guild?
- What is the Template for Guild Proposal?
- What are the expectations for Guild Steward & guild members?
- How do guild steward and members receive rewards for their work?
- What Guild steward have to do when their Guild Proposal passes?
- Can a Guild be terminated?
- How to select Guild members and Guild stewards (when current Guild steward terms end)?
- How does a Guild apply for a guild budget?
- How to monitor the health and impact of a guild?
Upon the completion of the guideline, roll out the document through providing multi training sessions, and set an example through establishing a new Guild
Benefits:
Systematic and effective system for on-board, incubate, and enable new contributors to MoonDAO. This is one step closer to a decentralized and autonomous organization.
Risks:
The Guild guideline should be considered as a breathing document which is subject to change overtime. It is acknowledged that the Project team has limited experience running guilds. Thus the guideline may need to be revised to reflect the best practice over time.
Objectives and Key Results:
Objective #1: Create the Guild guideline Key Results for Objective #1:
- Create EN & CN version of guild guideline that covers all questions in Specification section.
- Ensure consistency with existing documents (e.g. Constitution, Project Proposal v.3, on-boarding process, etc.)
Objective #2: Successfully roll out the Guile guideline Key for Objective #2:
- Get snapshot approval from community
- Successfully organize training sessions to community
- Set an example through establishing a new Guild.
- Support the establishment of at least 2 more Guilds.

Objective #1: Set up the infrastructure and permissions required for the guilds to operate smoothly (DeWork, Payment Integrations, Discord, etc.) Key Results for Objective #1:
- Ensure guilds can operate autonomously with minimal administrator intervention (less than 1 hour of overhead / week).
Objective #2: Help write the guild guidelines and provide feedback to the guild team to ensure consistency with other existing systems and documentation. In my head I have an idea for how guilds should operate with the existing systems we created, so I’ll make sure it all fits together as intended. Key for Objective #2:
- integrate guilds into the Project system and Constitution if anything needs to be modified in those systems. Pass those changes on Snapshot if needed.
- Help create the guild guidelines, and costeward a guild to help set an example for how they should be operated effectively.
