6️⃣Phase 6: Administrative Review

• This phase is only for Pending AIPs that have been tagged with “Needs Administrative Review.”

• When this happens, the Board, serving in an administrative capacity, will determine whether further action is required prior to a Pending AIP proceeding to Phase 7.

• Pending AIPs that the Board determines do not require additional action will be tagged as “Approved for Voting” and proceed to Phase 7.

• If the Board decides to return a Pending AIP for further clarification or action, they must provide a clear explanation of why and tag it as either “Return for Reconstruction” or “Return for Clarification.”

• Reasons to tag as “Return for Reconstruction” or “Return for Clarification” may include but are not limited to:

  • Cost to implement unclear/not able to be calculated (tagged as “Return for Clarification”)

  • Proposes to use more than 5% of the Ecosystem Fund (tagged as “Return for Clarification”)

  • Conflicts with another proposal (tagged as “Return for Clarification”)

  • Proposal is at odds with the mission/values of the DAO (tagged as “Return for Reconstruction”)

  • Proposal is at odds with the well-being of the DAO (tagged as “Return for Reconstruction”)

  • Violations of law, or against advice of counsel for APE Foundation (tagged as “Return for Reconstruction”)

  • Reasonable suspicion of fraud or other misleading information (tagged as “Return for Reconstruction”)
