Today's DRep Council call focused on proposal standards and an AI review prototype to identify missing information in treasury proposals. Next: refine the templates, collect member feedback and hold an internal vote on the four proposal-standard documents.

DRep Council update: we presented draft proposal standards informed by 19 DReps rationales across 158 governance actions. Eight proposal categories, a concerns matrix and draft templates aim to improve proposals before onchain submission. Next: verification and member feedback.

Today, the DRep Council discussed our first tangible output: Governance Proposal Standards. We’re using experience from the past DRep voting rationales to build clear requirements for proposers and a shared framework for DReps to evaluate on-chain actions.

Later, we aim to coordinate with Intersect and the Catalyst team to align standards across funding channels. The principle is simple: the larger the funding request, the greater the scrutiny.

A 50k ADA proposal should not face more scrutiny than a 5M ADA on-chain treasury withdrawal. We need clearer, more consistent expectations.

Interim Charter voting closes in a few hours. If approved, we’ll open Interim Board nominations and start work on TWGA standards. Want to run? Join drepcouncil.org as a DRep (6+ months’ history and >90% participation), then apply in the Council Telegram chat by Oct. 1.

3/4 We also discussed the Council's role in proposal quality: standardized Treasury Withdrawal templates, clearer team/KPI/conflict disclosures, and structured pre-submission DRep feedback so proposals can improve before they ever reach an on-chain vote.

4/4 The main conclusion: avoid scope creep and deliver tangible results first. Charter → templates → proposer/DRep communication → then expand based on what actually works. The Council currently brings together 14 DReps representing ~175M ADA. drepcouncil.org/

1/4 This week's DRep Council call was focused on moving from setup to execution. We discussed the Charter, coordination with Alpha Growth, Cardano's DeFi/infrastructure gaps, and what the Council should actually deliver in Q4.

2/4 A key topic was how the Council can help map ecosystem gaps: missing infrastructure, reusable standards, CIPs and existing solutions, so teams don't keep rebuilding the same things and funding can be directed where it has the most impact.

The DRep Council can play an important role as the coordination layer: connecting builders, DReps, Intersect and other ecosystem bodies, helping socialize priorities, reducing duplicated work and giving the wider DRep community better context before major funding decisions.

Our immediate work will focus on creating better Treasury Withdrawal and RFP templates, including clearer requirements around milestones, budgets, teams, KPIs, reporting and accountability - with the goal of making the 2027 funding cycle much more structured than previous years.
