# Participation Requirements

Broadly speaking, DAOs are organizations comprising token holders. In Decentraland's case, the tokens needed to be a member of the DAO are MANA, NAMES or LAND. By holding either MANA, NAMES or LAND, you may create and vote in proposals. Your vote on a proposal is weighted according to the balance of MANA, NAMES and LAND you have at the time that proposal was created. For more information, see the Voting Power section in the [DAO User Guide](/dao/dao-userguide.md).

Anyone is allowed and welcome to participate in discussions related to the DAO in [Discord](https://dcl.gg/daodiscord), the [Forum](https://forum.decentraland.org/), or any of Decentraland's other social channels, but only token holders can cast votes and create proposals.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.decentraland.org/dao/dao/what-do-you-need-to-participate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
