# MetaDAO: Appoint Nallok and Proph3t Benevolent Dictators for Three Months
## Summary
This proposal appointed Proph3t and Nallok as Benevolent Dictators For 3 Months (BDF3M) from proposal finalization through June 30, 2024, to address MetaDAO's slow execution speed caused by costly proposal processes. The appointment included authority over retroactive compensation (December 2023 - March 2024), ongoing business operations, contributor compensation, and exceptional use grants for code licenses.
This proposal appointed Proph3t and Nallok as Benevolent Dictators For 3 Months (BDF3M) to address MetaDAO's execution speed problem caused by slow and costly proposal processes. The appointment covered retroactive compensation for December-March and forward compensation for April-June, totaling 1015 META and 100,000 USDC.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** HfFi634cyurmVVDr9frwu4MjGLJzz9XbAJz981HdVaNz
- **Proposal Number:** 14
- **Created:** 2024-03-26
- **Completed:** 2024-03-31
- **Compensation:** 1015 META and 100,000 USDC (covering 4 months retroactive + 3 months forward)
- **Proposal Number:** 14
## Scope of Authority
The BDF3M role included:
- Retroactive compensation for all contributions prior to proposal
- Managing ongoing business operations including off-chain proposal process, project management, expenses, and security improvements
- Compensation for current contributors including incentive-based components
- Authority to make exceptional use grants for MetaDAO's code licenses
- Monthly community updates
## OKRs
- Execute faster: Complete 10 GitHub issues per week
- Handle retroactive compensation within 1 week of passing
- Oversee new landing page creation
- Perform operations compensation for April-June
## Significance
This proposal represents a critical governance transition where MetaDAO temporarily suspended its futarchy mechanism in favor of benevolent dictatorship to overcome execution bottlenecks. The proposers explicitly framed failure as reducing MetaDAO's success probability by over 20%, indicating this was viewed as an existential decision point. The proposal consolidated authority over compensation, operations, project management, security improvements, and licensing decisions under two individuals.
The OKRs included completing 10 GitHub issues per week and handling retroactive compensation within one week of passage. Notably, compensation would come from multisigs rather than the DAO treasury directly, and META would likely be issued in 5-year locked form.
This proposal represented a critical governance decision where MetaDAO temporarily centralized authority to overcome coordination bottlenecks. The proposers estimated that failure would decrease MetaDAO's success probability by over 20%, framing it as an existential decision point. The compensation structure averaged 145 META and $14,000 per month across seven months, with META likely issued in 5-year locked form.
