Abstract
Summary of the proposal
The goal of this proposal is to have the current moderating administration team of the zerozero DAO select talented, passionate, and capable community members to join the zerozero ecosystem and enhance awareness. This will allow the community surrounding the DAO to grow and be truly owned by the community members.
The nomination pool will be sourced through the community and any self nominations. The community will be able to influence the decision making process of electing an Ambassador.
Motivation
A statement on why the zerozero community should implement this proposal
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are meant to be decentralized, and one way to ensure this is by giving the power of decision-making to the token holders. By giving the task of growing the ecosystem to the token holders, we can ensure that the zerozero DAO is more aligned with the will of its members and that enhancing visibility is performed in a fashion more aligned with the will of the zerozero DAO.
This ZIP is focused on the mechanics of the nomination process to ensure the community understands how zerozero Ambassadors will be elected and how they can participate in both the nomination and voting process.
Rationale
An explanation of how the proposal aligns with the zerozero community
Adding tokenholders to the zerozero team gives power to the zerozero community and allows zerozero token holders to gain further control on the DAO. We can therefore ensure that all voices are heard and that moderation is performed by a team that is representative of the voice of zerozero tokenholders.
