The recent <a href="https://forum.aragon.org/t/proposal-transfer-the-aragon-project-funds-to-an-aragon-dao-governed-by-delegated-ant/3369">proposal 1</a> to implement a delegative ANT voting system to control the Aragon treasury and the ANT token contract includes a reference to a Delegate Code of Conduct - a list of principles and guidelines that delegates would be expected to commit and adhere to. An initial draft of a possible Delegate Code of Conduct, inspired by a similar document of MakerDAO, is presented below. Feedback/suggestions welcome, keeping in mind that the Code of Conduct should be as short and unambiguous as possible. The goal is not to micromanage the delegates but simply to ensure that they understand and commit to performing their duties with integrity.
The current thread is for initial discussion only. Assuming that a delegative ANT voting system gets implemented, a canonical version of the Delegate Code of Conduct can be included in the Aragon DAO documentation and reproduced in a separate thread on the forum for redundancy, public delegate commitments, and ongoing discussion.
