=== Engaging the public ===
[[File:PublicDAOForum.png|thumb]]

Using the [[Front-end software#Public UI|public UI]], a customer can engage a member of the DAO to do work by encumbering the required fee in the official work smart contract (WSC). The Forum is the place the public UI search engine finds the current WSC, as well as the human-readable language which the DAO publishes to advertise their value to the non-expert, along with the user-friendly public UI itself. This describes the types of work the DAO has previously agreed it is willing to do, along with the protocols for doing that work which are automatically reviewed under [[executive governance]] through the Validation Pool.

==== Transparent auditing ====
The Forum is also the environment where the public can audit the effectiveness of the DAO, since the transparent nature of a [[DAO#Primary DAOs|primary DAO]] naturally encourages maximal information on the history of member performance and customer satisfaction.

The Forum holds the history of every governmental action the DAO has performed, including debates on protocol development and value statements and explicit goals the DAO has agreed on. This transparency allows the public to audit the DAO's history of REP evolution and governance parameters so that they can measure the DAO's performance against its advertised values, in order to objectively to gauge the DAO's integrity before using it. (See ''Main article: [[Reputation tokenomics]].'') The Forum therefore solves the business problem of building history and integrity in a DAO filled with pseudonymous international members.
