# MetaDAO: Appoint Nallok and Proph3t Benevolent Dictators for Three Months
## Summary
This proposal appointed Proph3t and Nallok as "Benevolent Dictators For 3 Months" (BDF3M) to bypass the slow proposal process and accelerate MetaDAO's execution during a critical period. The appointment covered retroactive compensation for December 2023-March 2024 and forward-looking compensation through June 2024, totaling 1015 META and 100,000 USDC.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** HfFi634cyurmVVDr9frwu4MjGLJzz9XbAJz981HdVaNz
- **Resolution:** 2024-03-31
- **Proposal Number:** 14
## Authority Granted
The BDF3M role included:
- Retroactive compensation for all contributions prior to the proposal
- Managing ongoing business operations (off-chain proposal process, project management, expenses)
- Compensation for current contributors including incentive-based components
- Improving security and efficacy of the core futarchy mechanism
- Providing monthly updates to the MetaDAO community
- Making exceptional use grants for MetaDAO's code licenses
## OKRs
- Execute faster: Complete 10 GitHub issues per week
- Handle retroactive compensation within 1 week of proposal passing
- Oversee creation of new landing page
- Perform operations compensation for April-June 2024
## Significance
This proposal represents a critical governance moment where MetaDAO acknowledged that its own futarchy mechanism was "too slow and costly" for operational decisions. The team estimated that failure would decrease MetaDAO's success probability by over 20%, indicating existential stakes. The proposal effectively created a temporary executive layer above the futarchy, revealing tension between decentralized decision-making ideals and operational velocity requirements.
The compensation structure (META issued in 5-year locked form) and the use of multisigs rather than direct treasury withdrawals show pragmatic workarounds to technical and economic constraints in the futarchy implementation.
## Relationship to KB

extraction_notes: "This is a decision_market entity extraction. The proposal itself is factual (passed, specific compensation amounts, specific authorities granted). No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms are present - the proposal acknowledges the mechanism is too slow but doesn't make generalizable assertions about why or how to fix it. The significance lies in the governance dynamics (futarchy bypassing itself) rather than mechanism design insights."
