+
+### Voting Mechanics
+
+All internal referenda are voted on within the JAM DAO Discord by team
+representatives, ensuring full transparency of members' votes and feedback on
+each referendum.
 
 A basic explanation of the DAO's voting process and timeline is as follows:
 
-* A new relay chain referendum is created.
-* The bot fetches the referendum details and creates a matching internal referendum in a Discord.
-* The bot creates a discussion topic 
-* Members discuss the referendum details. For some referenda, we also reach out to proposers for a call.
-* Members submit their votes on the internal referendum alongside their feedback.
-* The bot submits an on-chain vote on day 7 (first vote) and day 20 (second vote, if changed),  the final day (if changed), and during confirmation (again, if changed).
-* [planned] The bot collects all member feedback and generates a summary of comments using a ChatGPT (or similar) API, submitted to Subsquare or Polkassembly.
