BuilderDAO

There are legitimate concerns that this governance structure may violate the spirit of open-source DAO governance, particularly around decentralization, transparency, and the ability for dissent.

The City Council is empowered to define and enforce ethical standards. This introduces a centralized enforcement mechanism, potentially conflicting with City Nouns DAO's commitment to decentralized governance, where power is ideally distributed through token-based voting.

The clause allowing the Council to determine “official” conduct could enable subjective or politically motivated enforcement, especially without a transparent appeal or checks-and-balances system.

The prohibition against “guerrilla literature” or altering values through “undemocratic means” is concerning & could stifle dissent. 
This is an open source a feature often seen as vital in open-source cultures like City Nouns DAO /builder
