The integral Platform for Climate Initiatives (DAO IPCI) architectonics imply creation of decentralized autonomies, DAOs, around the sets of similar values.These values are expressed by specific smart contracts: for tokens and registries representing mitigation instruments and a token for internal market; for "manual" or self-executing procedures to verify and secure mitigation instruments; for compliance with pledges and commitments; for accreditation of the verifiers (the Independent Entities); for documentation support of the transactions; for identification of members of the community.
These autonomies may form a type of "corporations", or "joint stock companies" with strictly defined stakes and stakeholders or form "communities" or "commons". The latter would seem more natural and common for public programmable blockchain, which has created a perfect way to crystallize distributed virtual communities.
In many cases there are clear business rationales for the community rather than for "the corporation". For instance, it would make more sense to use common funds raised from selling renewable energy carbon credits from micro-installations, small industrial, commercial or industrial sites/installations or other green communal (municipal) measures for common purposes, for example for Business Interruption or Advance Loss of Profit types of insurance, rather than distributing the funds individually. Or there might be any hybrid type of distribution model agreed.
For such cases, agreement on the rules for certification, verification, registration and issuance of result-based instruments (mitigation units) among the community members would be much more important than external approvals.
Creation of a DAO in DAO IPCI Operator's Menu actually represents an initiation of the "nucleation" process of the new community. The community would still be decentralized with certain functions and limited authority delegated to the Operator, such as: approval of the Independent Entities (auditors), Issuers (project owners or developers entitled for specific mitigation instruments), of the registries and modules to be included into the DAO.
These functions are somewhat similar to the functions of an executive secretary to make the activity of self-sufficient community possible. The Issuer initiates the claim for specific mitigation instruments, while the Independent Entity confirms, verifies or assures the entitlement and puts the instruments into the registry. The community as whole or it's individual members may take specific quantified commitments or pledges to offset negative impact and use Complier's contract to perform the commitments in a transparent trackable way in the unalterable ledger.
The entirety of his activities is performed in public blockchain excluding possibility for intended or unintended falsifications, manipulations and necessity to refer to off-chain and much less trustworthy sources of data.
Not all of the communities would evolve. Some would disappear still leaving traces of the activities in the blockchain. Some may share mitigation instruments registries, Independent Entities, Markets or even merge. Some may split. Technically those are simple though still transparent and reliable procedures.
Not pretending to give any legal opinion or advice, it might be worth noting that in case DAO in a form of a corporation is established, the token issued by the Operator would rather be considered as a security, while for the community type of DAO it actually represents common values shared by the community or communities.
Large part of "crypto-community" invests into the projects including some of the communities not actually becoming members of those communities.. This is a useful function to provide for market evaluation of their success of failure.
The type of blockchain community described is more of a Kropotkin type of "anarchy", which rejects state coercion and centralization while promoting freedom of decentralized communities in their performance of noble activities to mitigate negative environmental and social impact.
