@ben-chain ben-chain changed the title [DRAFT] Operating Manual v0.2 Operating Manual v0.2 Aug 5, 2022
The procedures described in this OPerating Manual will go into effect at the time of Airdrop #1, and be adjusted later in connection with a series of governance experiments. These changes include but are not limited to introducing the Citizens’ House, and adding, removing, and modifying Proposal Types and rules relating to voting processes. Any non-clerical updates to the OPerating Manual will be reflected with a new version number at the top of this document, at which point the updated version will go into effect.

This should probably be at the top of the doc, with links to document sections that go into more depths. Maybe like a table of contents/TL;DR mix?

### **Governance Toolkit**

The two primary tools for Optimism Collective governance are:

- [**Snapshot**](https://snapshot.org/#/opcollective.eth): Where all Token House governance proposals are submitted for vote.
- [**The Optimism Forum**](http://gov.optimism.io): A platform for discussion and deliberation about governance proposals.
- [**Discord**](https://discord-gateway.optimism.io/): For informal governance discussion and feedback.
