This proposal offers the OpenChat dapp to the NNS to be turned into a decentralized service by creation of an SNS to govern the OpenChat canisters.

_Who sent this proposal?_

This proposal is sent by the OpenChat development team. OpenChat is a [fully featured chat application](https://oc.app) running end-to-end on the Internet Computer. The project is presented in [this whitepaper](https://oc.app/#/whitepaper).

_What is the purpose of this proposal?_

The OpenChat development team offers the OpenChat app to the NNS to be turned into a decentralized service by creation of a [Service Nervous System (SNS) DAO](https://internetcomputer.org/sns) to govern OpenChat. The OpenChat application consists of thousands of canisters. The following OC canisters would be directly controlled by the SNS: website asset canister 6hsbt-vqaaa-aaaaf-aaafq-cai, user_index 4bkt6-4aaaa-aaaaf-aaaiq-cai, group_index 4ijyc-kiaaa-aaaaf-aaaja-cai, notifications_index 4glvk-ryaaa-aaaaf-aaaia-cai, open_storage_index rturd-qaaaa-aaaaf-aabaq-cai, cycles_dispenser gonut-hqaaa-aaaaf-aby7a-cai, online_users 3vlw6-fiaaa-aaaaf-aaa3a-cai, and proposals_bot iywa7-ayaaa-aaaaf-aemga-cai. All of the other canisters are in turn controlled by one of the above listed canisters and would thus also be indirectly controlled by the SNS.

If this proposal is approved, the NNS mandates that the necessary steps to create a [Service Nervous System (SNS) DAO](https://internetcomputer.org/sns) to govern OpenChat are taken. 

_What is the technical effect of this proposal?_

Adoption of the proposal will enable and mandate DFINITY to install the required SNS canisters on the SNS subnet. These SNS canisters will be in a pre-decentralization-sale mode with limited capabilities and where tokens cannot be moved until the decentralization sale is completed. Technically, the proposal’s effect is that the cycles wallet with principal ID omnzo-7qaaa-aaaal-qbtpq-cai, which is controlled by the DFINITY foundation, will get the privilege to make a call to the SNS wasm modules canister (SNS-W) to install SNS canisters. The cycles wallet can do this exactly once, as such a call will remove the privilege after use.

_What is this proposal not about / what will be decided in a second, future proposal?_

This proposal does not yet include any concrete parameter choices for the OpenChat SNS. These parameters will be contained in an upcoming second NNS proposal to initiate the OpenChat decentralization sale and SNS DAO creation and thus can be checked and voted on at that time together with the conditions for the decentralization sale. If the NNS rejects this second proposal, the launch of the SNS is considered unsuccessful and the dapp’s control is given back to the OpenChat developers. 


Enable principal omnzo-7qaaa-aaaal-qbtpq-cai in SNS-W to initiate the generation of an SNS for OpenChat
