# MemberSHEEP 🐑

👉 *Direct link to this page:* [*https://bit.ly/membersheep*](https://bit.ly/membersheep)

**Being a Member of the Traditional Dream Factory (TDF) means that TDF is one of your homes 🌈,**

As a Member you can:

* book a stay at TDF without a need for approval
* stay at TDF at running costs, if you hold Carrots (our token)
* earn tokens in exchange for your contribution
* take part in our governance system and decision-making processes
* become a Steward
* (and more...)

With great power, however, comes great responsibility:

**We expect our Members to actively participate in developing TDF** by visiting at least once per year, participating in our community calls, and living up to the values of TDF. By applying to become a member of TDF, you commit to living up to our [**MemberSHEEP Agreement**](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JURqf5qN71gQTMqFnCWYtNwbJCpHxHMu3nRXkfnpGZg/edit).

## How to Become a Member

After your first visit at TDF, you can be invited to start the journey of becoming a Member, following our vouching process.

You'll need to:

* spend some time at TDF (> 14 nights)
* fill in the application form below (which includes signing of the MemberSHEEP Agreement)
* receive three vouches from existing members

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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://handbook.traditionaldreamfactory.com/participate/membersheep.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.
