-- there's no formatting, can you add in markdown for the headers? --- and can you add in this stuff as part of the governance model from their ReadME? all the 'how it works' stuff is important

Our DAO project, dubbed ClimateDAO, aims to simulate climate voting within the United Nations, akin to the Conference of the Parties (COP).

The COP serves as the primary decision-making body for both the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement. Its primary responsibility involves reviewing the national communications and emission inventories submitted by member Parties. Using this data, the COP evaluates the efficacy of the measures implemented by Parties and the progress towards achieving the Convention's ultimate objective.

The COP convenes annually, unless otherwise determined by the Parties.

It's crucial to note that agreements reached during COP are not legally binding, nor are Parties subject to sanctions for non-compliance.

In our approach, while we emulate aspects of COP, we introduce a quadratic voting system, so in this voters will have the oportunity to cast more votes for more important projects.

In our framework and similar to what happens in the COP we assume that there is a technical committee/chairman, with the necessary expertise in climate change, that submit proposals with the necessary objectives we need to accomplish in order to maintain the long term sustainability of the planet.

Then each country can vote in accordingly. For the purposes of this contract each country will be given a total of 100 tokens to cast in the amount and proposals it finds fit.

After everyone's voted the chairman will call for the end of the vote anounce the results and collect the remaining tokens in each country account.

We have included a function that allows countries to propose amendments to the draft proposals submited to votation. Important to underline as well that after chairman's submission there is a 24h period that no one can vote, this is the time for reflection.

Note: By quadratic voting we understand: 1 vote costs 1 token 2 votes cost 4 tokens 3 votes cost 9 tokens

Quorum for approval is a simple majority (above 50%)

Hello i have already added markdown for each title. you can see the modifications now on github.

for your second comment: "and can you add in this stuff as part of the governance model from their ReadME? all the 'how it works' stuff is important" If I well understand, you want me to add the description of governance readme file to our design file, especially in the "IV.Selected governance process model", right? Thank you!

One small suggestion, could we modify the file name as design.md (lowercase) as required by teacher's standard

Hey, can you add, in the technical spec, the fact that countries also have the opportunity to propose new versions of the technical comitee proposal, if the quorum is not reached ? Thank you

Hello, thank you for your comment! I have added this point. You can see it on github. I can not edit the file after changing the filename(lowercase), I am not sure that you will be in the same case as me. So I created a new pull request and you can see the file in this new request if you can not open it in this request.
