DAO type
Formation and tuning of UK Regional DAO
Proposal Overview
UK is and international multicultural country where creative industries and technology industries co-exist.
Harmony in UK has a competitive advantage to capture and build on a rich heritage of the UK’s creative leaders, including musicians, filmmakers, TV and theatre producers, authors, architects, games developers, fashion designers and publishers.
Renowned for their innovation and originality, UK creative pioneers and entrepreneurs pride themselves on working, in cross-disciplinary collaborative teams, providing business with the creative imagination that drives commercial success.
This is particularly true in London where there are world-class creative companies.
Tech City in East London is fast becoming a digital centre of Europe
Creativity and Technology go hand in hand. Creative companies and small fast-growing digital technology companies working together In UK bringing innovative solutions in the domestic and international markets
Furthermore, the gaming industries, innovative business and financial industries as well as green tech are among many more avenues where Harmony and its network can bring blockchain adoption and offer a lunch pad for web3 development and build bridges with the web2 world.
UK is ready to embrace new Technologies, reinventing itself by embracing new techniques and modes of business.
Harmony DAO UK can adopt this creative and innovative energy and offer education, network, adoption and new tools to existing as well as start-up companies and freelancers on a variety of disciplines to grow and build.
Depside this energy some UK areas such as Cornwall and Cumbria have been deprived of work and investment. Harmony UK DAO can work in these areas with local communities and also seek matched funding offering educational projects offering one type of solution by creating jobs, new freelance coders, creatives, inventors and entrepreneurs.
The UK DAO as it grows will create educational courses and modules for Universities.
London is an international hub and UK DAO will bring an international event in Europe attracting talent and instigate collaborations. This event will work as catalyst to establish the UK DAO. Also act as a reference to inspire local regional events in many other cities and attract investment.
The UK DAO will be an adaptive open organisation which can form a legal entity/ organisation (TBD) and have regional representation, all regions working collaboratively. As a dynamic and open organisation, the UK DAO will shapeshift and bring solutions to the UK creative industries education business financial sector and local regeneration.

Proposal Ask
To achieve longevity and sustainable growth The UK DAO is asking for a £150K - £200K (GBP) paid on approved formation. For the first 3 months we propose a Harmony Core team to be a cosignatory safety & advisory role only.
The budget will be allocated per project, event or other activities required to operate the DAO that will be part of a strategic plan. At each step we will plan & design, execute and analyse the results make sure if mistakes happened to correct them and all successes to be amplified.
The initial team that sets up the UKDAO regardless if voted or not to be reimbursed for their time and work upon budget approval and paid.
Upon formation and bootstrap funding the DAO team is recommended to create a form of constitution and a strategic plan. The plan is proposed to be Agile and self-learning in nature always adopting new knowledge and advancements of DAO governance tooling, social and economic knowledge and WEB3 developments.
In this proposed plan each task will be approached as a project. This will help participants to focus on specific tasks and deliverables and priced fairly.
For example, a very simple Project:
Task: Deliver a presentation at a University
Aim: engage with and deliver a lecture for 25+ students and sign min 10 on a newsletter
2 Harmony Community members taking the task
Paid Time
Prepare the presentation Delivering the talk, budgeting the cost of the project
Costs excluding working time: Travel costs, stationary, possibly airdrop 1 $ONE to 10 people, coffee break.
Analyse the results and follow up, present the results to the Harmony community.
Any project small or large to be looked as an individual case and priced for its effectiveness and time required however to be priced fairly and with consideration to potential limitations
Eg for the above project the overall time required to be decided on the planning stage
Say 2 people over all 30h of work required
30 x $75 ph = $2250
At this point we decide what is a fair cost to deliver this project based of its deliverable impact and time required
We decide because of its simplicity a fair pay is $1700 paid for time + overheads
This way we can price each project individually.
Larger projects could be priced at higher per hour rates depending what expertise are required or the impact that will bring or they require initial investment.
All these to be discussed during the planning stage of each project.
The above agile per project approach and delivery of tasks and projects to be further discussed after the UK DAO formation
