# Governance Framework In March 2022, ParagonsDAO introduced a delegated governance model, established in [**PDIP 1 - Introducing a framework for governance structure and record**](https://discuss.paragonsdao.com/t/pdip-1-introducing-a-framework-for-governance-structure-and-record/16)**.** PDT holders vote for council members to act on behalf of the best interests for the DAO, which ensures the community plays a key role in governing it, while allowing the Councils to make decisions and actions within their remit at a much faster pace than having the community vote for all important decisions. New ideas (and changes to existing direction) are implemented through Proposals (PDIPs and PCCPs), which are first brought to the ParagonsDAO community for discussion on our [Governance Discussion Forum](https://discuss.paragonsdao.com/) before being voted by the Paragons Council. *** In late 2025, we voted on [PDIP 28](https://discuss.paragonsdao.com/t/pdip-28-a-unified-governance-council/304/3) to combine the Paragons Council and Treasury Council into a unified Governance Council going forward. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
