**Affirmed position.** Data Collection Protocol_Antonia Damvakeraki_AGORA DC Network presents the following source proposition: This Data Collection Protocol defines the systematic approach for gathering empirical data to investigate the standardization of Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) governance, the interoperability of DAO mechanisms, and the democratic legitimacy of decision-making processes within metaverse ecosystems. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Without clear and effective governance mechanisms, DAO decision-making becomes slow and inefficient, delaying important changes and the resolution of internal issues. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
