RPIP-23: pDAO Charter Source

Describes what the pDAO is for and how it will operate

Abstract

It would be useful to more explicitly define the Protocol DAO (pDAO) in terms of who they are, what they are expected to do, and how they are expected to do it. This document is intended to be a foundational definition document that will serve (a) the pDAO itself in answering "what's the right thing to do" in a given situation, and (b) the greater community in understanding "what should we expect" and "what shouldn't we expect" from the pDAO.

Specification

Superseding this RPIP requires a 2/3 or greater supermajority pDAO vote
