General information
As stated in Free Internet by Free TON:
Free TON was born free from day one through decentralized governance in its DNA. Launched as part of a community effort, it became more and more decentralized every day ever since. From inception, the community has been committed toward stratifying its decentralization through what is coined stratified governance, including sub-governance groups with specific self-appointed tasks taken on by active members who then bring something to the network to make it better and grow. Each is a strata to produce results for the entirety of the community on the basis of a give-and-take meritocracy where results are the give and token rewards are the take.
All decisions are made through proposals and contests that are voted upon by community members. The obstacle here is that it is human nature to only vote when the subject at hand is something of personal interest to the voter. To tackle this obstacle, Free TON has implemented Soft Majority Voting (SMV). SMV makes it possible to account for lack of enthusiasm by those who may not necessarily need to vote when the circumstances do not directly affect them.
A model such as this can live indefinitely on its own — forever.
In order to facilitate governance process based upon these principles we are forming a working group (a sub-governence) which goal is to work towards technical implementation of a Decentralized Governance Organization (DGO).
About the document
This document is a description of DGO sub-governence proposal for Free TON governence submission.
Short description of governance area and motivation
DGO is created to:
- Facilitate the development of the G2.0 Platform:
- Discuss its principles;
- Discuss its policies;
- Gather initial requirements and concerns from the community;
- Design;
- Implementation;
- Review of the community contribution and feedback.
To facilitate those Goals sub-governence will be constantly engaged in driving change and improvements to the DGO process by:
- Introducing discussing and implementing proposals through the mechanism of FTDP — Free TON DGO Proposals) Conducting design and implementation contests
- continual process improvement through discussing testing and implementing new mechanics for governance organisation and automation
Proposal specification
Proposal
It is proposed to create on-chain governance integration for Free TON DGO within which the following will be available:
- Free TON DGO Initial Members must be appointed to form the initial Free TON DGO. This initial composition assumes all responsibilities of the Free TON DGO Jury and is to launch a Free TON DGO Jury Contest. The description is given below.
- A mechanism for the Free TON DGO Contests (FTDC) should be implemented, the purpose of which is to continually create new useful tools for Free TON DGO and ensure its functionality. The description is given below.
- There will be a Free TON DGO Jury Contest to select the full Free TON DGO Jury. The main duty of the Free TON DGO Jury is to vote in the FTDCs. The description is given below.
Proposed roadmap
The following Contest Proposals will be on the DGO current roadmap under the proposed budget (see table below).
Several contests may run in parallel. Several contests may be presented for each of the roadmap items.

The Free TON DGO Initial Members form the initial Free TON DGO Jury until the Free TON DGO Jury Contest is held.
Voting for proposals at initial stage
Special Tokens will be distributed to Initial Members and SMV voting will be employed.
Jury
One DGO Subgovernments Expert Jury Group will be created and vote for submissions.
Contests
Short description
This section describes the procedure for running the Free TON DGO Contests (FTDC) by publishing the Free TON DGO Contest Proposal (FTDCP) in the “Free TON DGO” section of the Free TON official forum.
The goal of all FTDC contests is to offer the Free TON community the opportunity to regularly create new and useful tools for the Free TON DGO and keep it running.
Contest entry period
The validity period of each FTDC will be defined in the respective FTDCP.
Motivation
To define the possible way for establishing the DGO system through developing a couple of relevant projects.
Contest specification
The relevant FTDCP will define the specifications of each FTDC, including but not limited to entry period, description, specification, criteria for evaluating work, voting procedures, rewards for participants, jury rewards, comments on the procedure, etc.
Evaluation criteria and winning conditions
The relevant FTDCP will define the performance criteria and the conditions of rewards.
Voting
The relevant FTDCP will define the voting order of the FreeTON DGO Jury.
FreeTON jury members do not automatically acquire the right to vote on the Free TON DGO Jury solely by their Free TON membership. To vote on the Free TON DGO, the jury must be elected to that voting body.
Reward
The relevant FTDCP will define the amount of rewards for FTDC participants.
Jury rewards
The relevant FTDCP will define the amount of Free TON DGO Jury’s rewards.
Procedural remarks
The relevant FTDCP will define procedural notes for the FTDC.
Contests expense estimate
This estimate is based on a forecast of the total Tons required to run all Free TON DGO contests until the end of 2020 after the FreeTON DGO is launched (please, see “Proposed roadmap”).
