  2. What are the different operating models being used by DAOs today (committees, sub-DAOs etc.) ? How should a DAO evaluate effectiveness of different operating models for their use case? What are more effective models yet to be imagined?
  3. Overview of tools for managing DAOs & communities. What are the best tools yet to be built?

DAO Contributor Experience:

  1. How should DAOs attract & retain the best contributors?
  2. What does a good contributor onboarding experience look like?
  3. How should teams organise, execute, evaluate & be compensated within DAOs?
  4. How should contributors manage work within & across DAOs? How does contributor compensation work?
