🏛️Stewards

We've mentioned them a few times, so you're probably wondering what a Steward is. They are responsible for supervising the operations of their Working Group, taking custody of a budget into their multisig, and paying their individual contributors. The responsibilities of Stewards include, but are not limited to:

• Managing their Working Group multisig;

• Operational tasks related to the administration of their Working Group;

• Maintaining relevant documents and their Working Group Charter;

• Creating, implementing and managing initiatives within a Working Group

• Communicating and coordinating with the APE Foundation Administrators, Special Council and the DAO Secretary;

• Approving budgets for Initiatives and contributors;

• Executing on the mandate in their Working Group Charter.

Note: Stewards are responsible for facilitating the will of the DAO. Stewards of Working Groups can be mandated to perform tasks, set objectives and goals, sign documents and enter into agreements pending the outcome of our governance process, or an AIP.

Note: Stewards are directly responsible for their Initiatives. These are teams that have been delegated responsibility from a Working Group to perform a specific task or tasks. This means Stewards can create and terminate Initiatives as needed. If a specific Initiative is not meaningfully contributing towards the fulfillment of the Working Group’s Mandate, the Initiative needs to be adjusted, reworked, edited, or otherwise removed.
