Title: Applying Organization Theory to MakerDAO
Your name/handle: Mitote

Reflections on the DAO
Proposal abstract: I have not found an academically informed exploration into Makers organizational structure. The boundaries, internal stratification and external environment of Maker remain fairly unclear. An academically inspired organizational qualification of Maker may help clear up those contexts. Exchange of information occurs between different individuals, groups and systems. A blockchain foundation allows for a fairly unique mode of organizational governance. It likely reveals new organizational patterns due to characteristics such as higher interconnection, distributed control of software protocols, and extreme transparency. I wish to publish a paper (maybe making other tools as well like diagrams) qualifying Makers organization situation. Other disciplines like complexity theory and psychology/sociology are also highly relevant and will need to be considered . The absolute longest term dream concerns useful interdisciplinary models “fully” describing Maker’s organizational situation accurately.
One problem is nonpublic information around the foundation and the real extent its controls governance (directly with mkr or indirectly by process, relationships, knowledge withholding, etc). Another problem is the rapid pace the protocol changes, however I don’t know about any major infrastructure changes occurring soon (well maybe IAMs?).
