Rationale for Votes Occurring July 1st-19th
Snapshot Votes
1. Approval of STEP Committee
- Proposal: Link
- Vote: For
- Reasoning: We are voting FOR the recommendations made by the STEP Committee. We are confident in their recommendations and are excited for this first step towards Treasury Diversification.
2. Improving Predictability in Arbitrum DAO’s Operations
- Proposal: Link
- Vote: For
- Reasoning: We voted FOR improving predictability in Arbitrum DAO’s operations. We believe that creating a predictable structure with batched votes and a holiday break will help to curb delegate fatigue. We look forward to learning more about the workflow of batched votes, and have posted a question about this in the forum.
3. Jumpstart fund for problem definition and DAO improvement
- Proposal: Link
- Vote: Against
- Reasoning: We voted AGAINST funding the Jumpstart Fund for problem definition and DAO improvement. Echoing other delegates, we do not support funding projects that propose “planning to plan”. We also do not believe that the DAO needs to do sensemaking exercises to identify problems. We encourage @danielo (and anyone else) to write out the problems that the DAO currently faces (anyone who has spent any amount of time in the DAO will have this context) and propose solutions with clear roles and structures for the DAO to then vote on.
Tally Votes
1. Subsidy Fund Proposal from the ADPC
- Proposal: Link
- Vote: For
- Reasoning: We voted FOR a Subsidy Fund for Security Services on Snapshot. We are pleased to see that the ADPC will facilitate the selection of projects that will benefit from the whitelisted security audit service providers, rather than setting up a separate sub-committee as previously proposed. You can find our detailed voting rationale here.
