Plian DAO Governance（2022）
PlianDAO has 3 legal entities, Plian DAO Foundation, Plian Tech Foundation and Plian Product Foundation. The purpose of the legal structure is to provide flexibility and mitigate legal risks that may arise in the future.
The PlianDAO Foundation will establish a governance committee (Governance Core Unit) and a supervisory committee (Regulatory Core Unit). The Governance Core Unit manages the operations of Plian, and it will be responsible for issues related to distributing grants, managing the treasury, facilitating proposals, and on-chain voting. The Governance Core Unit is a member organization composed of $PI holders who jointly implement the Foundation Governance Regulations on behalf of the Plain Foundation and the Plian global community. The Regulatory Core Unit is responsible for overseeing the Governance Committee and overseeing Plian’s operations, governance, legal compliance matters,etc.
The PlianTech Foundation will manage protocol development services related to the Plian public chain and smart contracts.
The Plian Product Foundation will oversee the development of the Plian front-end layer.
The 3 legal entities will enter into service agreements with service providers to help develop the agreement.

Multi-signers have no right to interfere with the final decision after community proposals and other community operations.

The core group is mainly represented by whales, technical group leaders, market operation group leaders and other members. The core group has 2 major powers, namely the final review of community proposals and the allocation of community budgets (technical group and operation group). For example, whether a proposal needs to enter the community referendum, the production of the proposal, and the review of the proposal, these require the vote of the entire core group, and if more than half of them pass, it will enter the community vote. The core group is also involved in the budget allocation of the 2 departments, but the core group is not assigned to a person, only to the department. As for the detailed allocation of individuals or projects, it is up to the leaders of each group to vote.

After operating for a period of time, everyone voted by themselves to finally determine the official operation personnel.
