This is just my opinion and what I took out from the down shown topics:

- I presume this is primarily volunteer work?  
No a DAO is not volunteer but also it’s not free money. There are clear guidelines & mandates for DAOs that have to followed
- What sort of time commitment would be expected?  
maximal 10hr/week can be written down.
- If I were to get unwell again, would I be able to step down if necessary?

3 Month

> Hi Harmonauts, As you know, the Harmony Foundation has been [kickstarting DAOs](https://medium.com/harmony-one/the-way-of-harmony-daos-68003bfeaace) on Harmony. We started this journey earlier this year and wanted to share our current thinking in this forum. Today, any DAO can already form on Harmony with our [snapshot voting](http://gov.harmony.one). This post is specifically for DAOs that the Foundation will kickstart and support with funding. Forming DAOs with the right mandates and processes will be the most important thing that the Foundation can do to ensure the long-term growth of…
