# Section 2: Time

Developer DAO operate in cycles based on Quarters. A quarter is a three-month period on the organization's calendar that acts as a basis for periodic operational reports.\
The traditional calendar quarters that make up the year are:

* Dates for Q1: January 1 – March 31.
* Dates for Q2: April 1 – June 30.
* Dates for Q3: July 1 – September 30.
* Dates for Q4: October 1 – December 31.

\
As this model has been accepted during Season 2, Stewards will need to define a course of action to shift from a model of Seasons to Quarters.
