The Meta-Governance Working Group is responsible for:
  • Providing governance oversight for the ENS DAO
  • Supporting the management and operation of all working groups
  • Overseeing DAO tooling and governance process improvements
  • Managing the DAO’s treasury, including funding requests, contract audits, and discretionary spending for new initiatives

Stewards and Secretary

The group is managed by three elected stewards and a secretary (appointed by the stewards each term). The current stewards can be found here.

Meetings

  • Weekly Meta-Gov WG meetings are open to everyone.
  • Agendas and meeting notes are posted in the Governance Forum.
  • To add an agenda item, contact the Lead Steward.

Funding and Multisig

  • Funding is requested at the start of each term, following Rule 10 of the Working Group Rules.
  • Funding requests are first passed as a Social Proposal, then as part of a Collective Executable Proposal.
  • Approved funds are paid from the DAO treasury to the Meta-Gov WG multisig.
  • The multisig has four signers: the three stewards and the secretary. Three of four signatures are required for transactions.

Use of Funds

  • Stewards allocate funds to specific initiatives, including governance, contract audits, DAO tooling, and discretionary projects.
  • Stewards may reallocate funds as needed, provided it does not conflict with DAO rules or the Constitution (Rule 10.5).

Seeking Funding

If you are seeking funding from the Meta-Governance WG, attend a weekly meeting or contact a steward.
