# 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 address MetaDAO's slow execution speed caused by a costly and time-consuming proposal process. The appointment covered retroactive compensation for December-March and forward compensation for April-June, totaling 1015 META and 100,000 USDC.
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.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** HfFi634cyurmVVDr9frwu4MjGLJzz9XbAJz981HdVaNz
- **Resolution:** 2024-03-31
- **Proposal Number:** 14
## Scope of Authority
The BDF3M role granted Proph3t and Nallok authority over:
- Retroactive compensation for all contributions prior to the proposal
- Business operations including off-chain proposal process management, project management, expenses, and security improvements
- Current contributor compensation including incentive-based components
- Exceptional use grants for MetaDAO's code licenses
- Monthly community updates
## Compensation Structure
- **Total:** 1015 META + 100,000 USDC
- **Period:** 7 months (4 retroactive + 3 forward)
- **Average:** 145 META + $14,000 per month
- **Distribution:** From multisigs rather than DAO treasury directly
- **Vesting:** META likely issued in 5-year locked form
## OKRs
- Execute faster: Complete 10 GitHub issues per week
- Handle retroactive compensation within 1 week of passage
- Oversee new landing page creation
- Perform operations compensation for April-June
- **Completed:** 2024-03-31
- **Compensation:** 1015 META and 100,000 USDC (covering 4 months retroactive + 3 months forward)
## Significance
This proposal represented a critical governance transition where MetaDAO temporarily centralized decision-making authority to overcome execution bottlenecks. The proposers estimated that failure would decrease MetaDAO's success probability by over 20%, framing this as an existential decision point. The three-month term was designed as a bridge until futarchy could function autonomously or another governance structure could be established.
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.
