Governance WG · Elect the Permanent RAC

The current RAC is an explicitly time-bound Transition RAC. The DAO must elect a Permanent RAC to act as trustees who action the community's will — appointing contributors and agreeing contracts for marketing, business development, market making, and wallet/engine development. Community discussion frames the role as high-level (like a company board on a 6–12 month budget horizon), initially unpaid, with paid roles requiring a separate community vote.

Deliverables

• Agree council size and mandate (build on the 5-member approval-vote precedent; some argue 7).
• Run the election via the ratified RFC → TC → RFP process and the governance app.
• Define the boundary between "community will at a high level" and RAC operational discretion within approved budgets.
• Set conflict-of-interest and (un)paid-role rules before seating members.

Dependencies & cross-references

• Governed by Daffy's Radix DAO framework (repo Shadaffy/radix-dao); see the Governance Framework Reference Repo and Charter (Round 1).
• Seats the body that holds interim RFP authority until Working Groups activate.
• Governance context: Radix Governance hub.
