# Legal WG · Ratify the Legal Wrapper & Representation document

| Status | 🟠 Proposed |
| --- | --- |
| Working Group | Legal & Formation WG |
| Category | ⚖️ Governance |
| Governance Phase | Phase 1 – active at launch |
| Champion | Daffy (Shadaffy) |
| Origin | [Legal/ – Wrapper & Representation](https://radixtalk.com/t/rfc-dao-governance-framework-reference-repo/2268) |

A Phase 1 document that bridges the on-chain DAO and the off-chain legal entity – defining who can sign contracts, hold accounts, and represent the DUNA to third parties (exchanges, market makers, service providers, regulators).

## Deliverables

- Ratify the Legal Wrapper & Representation policy.
- Map on-chain roles (Authorized Signers, RAC) to off-chain representation authority.
- Define contracting authority limits and required proposal references.

## Dependencies & cross-references

- Governed by [Daffy's Radix DAO framework](https://github.com/Shadaffy/radix-dao) (repo `Shadaffy/radix-dao`); see the [Governance Framework Reference Repo](https://radixtalk.com/t/rfc-dao-governance-framework-reference-repo/2268) and [Charter (Round 1)](https://radixtalk.com/t/rfc-dao-documents-round1-the-charter/2269).
- Nested under [DUNA incorporation](/ideas/dao-incorporate-duna-llc).
- Enables [market-making / listing agreements](/ideas/dao-market-making-listings).
