The team concluded the research of the second problem area this month: **3 - Legal frameworks for Decentralized Organizations**
You can find that document [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XWkk79LRLfhjWcM6VjV97wlQUv9jbnoO/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=105493237723142439851&rtpof=true&sd=true). The document will soon be put on the Vault after the reviews are completed.

We had no workshops after the initial one. We will start back up in late March with a workshop on DAO Legal Frameworks.
## Discussion
This work has been slow so far. We're giving it more attention to speed it all up and get the proposal done by June at the latest.
