Hi @Geraldine I’m looking at posting an idea for the DAO, It’s an event on August 31 & Sept 1. How much time does the DAO need to go through its decision process? ---

@thekimbingham to give you an overview of the process: Once you submit your idea, it will go through a 2-week discussion period. This allows community members to provide feedback, ask questions, and suggest improvements. After the discussion period, the proposal will enter a 2-week voting period where community members can vote on the idea. So, in total, you should allow for at least one month for the community to go through its decision process. Please note that from template submission to proposal review, there is additional time required depending on the quality and completeness of your submission. ---

Hello Geraldine and The Sandbox DAO forum, The event, Music For Democracy, which is the basis of my SIP, is less than 8 weeks away. Due to the tight timeline to the event for DAO process and subsequent event promotion, I regretfully must withdraw the SIP proposed yesterday for Music For Democracy. We have other events in the works and look forward to participating with the DAO in the future. Thank you for the opportunity! Best, Kim Bingham ---
