Is the United Nations a DAO in disguise?
📌People usually talk about DAOs as principally new ways to organize, which is certainly true in technical implementation. But in practical terms, DAOs exist all around us in one way or another. We recently explored how various chat groups are de facto DAOs. But what about a massive organization that everybody knows? Is the United Nations itself a DAO? Considering it may be about to undergo a major test of its structure (more on that below), the UN is a great example to explore.
✅ Its membership structure, proposals and voting, and working groups all act in a way reminiscent of DAOs. Its Security Council is similar to a validator group. Yet, the UN lacks the mechanisms to make it decentralized and autonomous.
💡Maybe it could get there, though. Could the UN become more like a real DAO? And how?
