DAO Legal Forms Around the World presents the following source proposition: The DAO Model Law created a well-founded basis for the legal structure of DAO companies based on functional and legal equivalence. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that If DAO members do not formalize a structure for their human created entity, courts are very likely to impose one on them, which is a serious risk of DAO membership. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
