# Guiding Principles Brains DAO will achieve this by creating a legal presence in every country and complying with all regulations related to hiring contributors in those countries, which is a requirement for legal employment. Our commitment to our goals is underpinned by our guiding principles, dictating how and why we act globally: * Follow the Law. Don’t depend on gray-area interpretation of laws and regulations, always make it black and white, and always follow both the letter and the spirit of the law. When in doubt, clarify with relevant authorities. * Serve Contributors. We have the opportunity to create a better level of expectations for work, with more flexibility, more self-determination, more benefits, and safe work conditions. We can and will make the world of labor better than where we found it. * Build for the Future. We are creating the foundation for the new labor economy – a public utility serving all DAOs and all contributors. Brains DAO should be self-sustaining and focused on improvement. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
