The ESD is responsible for scheduling payments and deciding on which initiatives to fund. ### **Compliance Sub-DAO** Committee members of the Compliance Sub-DAO review all proposals to the AN DAO and any sub-DAO for compliance within the Charter and overall legal compliance, providing feedback to proposal creators where appropriate. They are charged with removing any proposals they deem to be non-compliant with any part of this Charter or illegal and assume full legal responsibility for the approval of any illegal, unlawful, criminal or fraudulent proposals. ### **Tech Committee** The Tech Committee is responsible for overseeing the quality of the Aragon Network's code and [smart contracts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_contract). Members of the Committee are required to review technical proposals in the Main DAO and sub-DAOs and either remove any offending proposals, suspend proposals pending a 3rd party audit or approve beneficial proposals that do not require an audit. The Committee will merge any approved repositories. {% hint style="info" %} You can read more about the Aragon Structure [here](https://andao.aragon.org/#Structure). {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
