# DAO Operations Governance

## What are Operations Proposals?

Operations proposals are how the DAO makes important decisions about its functioning, treasury, and leadership. These are formal decisions that affect how PoSciDonDAO operates and evolves.&#x20;

We have two categories of Operations proposals:

* Off-chain proposals: <https://protocol.poscidondao.com/governance/operations/off-chain>

* On-chain proposals: <https://protocol.poscidondao.com/governance/operations/on-chain>

### Operations Proposal Types

Regardless of whether the proposal is off-chain or on-chain, operations proposals can be of the following types:

1. **Treasury Management (on-chain action)**
   * Transfer funds for projects or services
   * Manage DAO's financial resources
   * Ensure transparent use of community funds
2. **Elect Scientists for Research Funding Governance (on-chain action)**
   * Add new scientists that will review and source research projects
   * Bring fresh perspectives and expertise to the research funding process
   * Expand the DAO's operational capacity
3. **Impeach Scientists for Research Funding Governance (on-chain action)**
   * Remove underperforming Due Diligence members
   * Maintain high standards of leadership
   * Ensure responsible governance
4. **Governance Parameter Changes (on-chain action)**
   * Modify voting parameters from both DAO Operations & Research Funding Governance such as:
     * Quorum requirements
     * Proposal and voting timelines
   * The full list of governance parameters can be found in [here](/governance-overview.md)
5. **Not executable (off-chain action)**
   * This proposal type can be about anything that is happening off-chain and thus does not involve anything from proposal types 1 through 4.
   * For example, tokenomics changes, strategic partnerships/collaborations, outreach, marketing, operational frameworks, DAO policies, on- and off-boarding of contributors, on- and off-boarding existing contractors, etc.
