# Scroll Governance

## Summary

Scroll's governance plan is to begin with a minimal structure and refine it over time rather than launch a complex system at the outset. The article cites John Gall's maxim that a complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. It states that Scroll's governance will start simple to leave room for future experimentation, and that the goal is a DAO that is highly decentralized while still engaging in thoughtful discourse and research that produces meaningful outcomes.

Our approach to governance

“A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.” — John Gall

With this in mind, our plan is first to set up a minimal governance structure, refine it, and iterate on first principles. Scroll's governance system will accordingly start simple. This will leave plenty of room for experimentation in the future in order to keep the door open for broader collaboration in building our ecosystem. We aim to reach a place where the DAO is both highly decentralized, but still engages in thoughtful discourse and research, resulting in meaningful outcomes.
