# MetaDAO: Enter Services Agreement with Organization Technology LLC
## Summary & Connections
**Proposal 6 (Autocrat v0.3) — create US entity for paying MetaDAO contributors.** Organization Technology LLC as services vehicle. No IP ownership (all MetaDAO LLC). $1.378M annualized burn. Cancellable by DAO with 30-day notice or immediately for material breach. Memo instruction acts as countersignatory.
**Outcome:** Passed (2024-09-03).
**Connections:**
- This is the dual-entity structure that enables MetaDAO to operate: Marshall Islands DAO LLC (governance + IP) + US LLC (contributor payments + operations). Evidence for [[futarchy-governed DAOs converge on traditional corporate governance scaffolding for treasury operations because market mechanisms alone cannot provide operational security and legal compliance]]
- The explicit separation ("entity does not have nor will own any intellectual property") is a structural firewall — contributors are paid through a US entity that can't encumber the DAO's assets
- $1.378M burn rate is the first public disclosure of MetaDAO's full operational costs. Compare with the $1.38M estimated in [[metadao-fundraise-2]].
- [[organization-technology-llc]] — the entity created by this proposal

## Full Proposal Text
### Type
Operations Direct Action
### Author(s)
Nallok, Proph3t
### Overview
Four weeks ago, MetaDAO completed its strategic partnership as part of Proposal 19. To support MetaDAO's operations, we have created a US entity as a vehicle for paying MetaDAO contributors.
Of note is:
- This entity does not have nor will own any intellectual property, all efforts produced are owned by MetaDAO LLC.
- This entity will be responsible for the costs of services and development and not have authority to encumber MetaDAO LLC.
We are creating this proposal with a memo instruction to agree and sign the services agreement, which is legally binding as defined in MetaDAO LLC's operating agreement.
If passed this proposal will execute the memo instructions which will act as a countersignatory to the agreement. The first disbursement from MetaDAO LLC to the entity will occur on September 1st, 2024 or when passed, whichever is later.
This agreement can be canceled by the DAO with a 30 day notice or immediately through material breach of contract by either party. A 30 day notice and cancellation would need to be executed through a proposal.
If any significant material expense is to be assessed or significant changes to the contract are to be made, those shall be put through the governance process of MetaDAO.
- The expected annualized burn is $1.378M.
