Responsibilities and Scope (RACI)

This section defines the roles and responsibilities of key governance participants within the House of Stake, using the RACI matrix:

• R – Responsible: Who does the work
• A – Accountable: Who is ultimately answerable for the outcome
• C – Consulted: Who provides input or expertise
• I – Informed: Who must be kept up to date

Example: Key Governance Processes

Process	Screening Committee	Endorsed Delegates	Delegates	Security Council	veNEAR Holders
Pre-screening grant proposals	R, A			C	I
Voting on proposals		R, A	R, A	I	C, A
Selecting new delegates	R			C	I
Removing bad actors	R			C	I
Emergency intervention				R, A	I
Updating reward frameworks	R, A			C	I

Note: This table serves as a starting point. Roles and scopes may evolve as the governance system matures.

Why RACI Matters

The RACI model clarifies responsibilities, reduces overlap, and increases transparency. It makes complex governance processes easier to understand and more efficient—especially in decentralized environments.
