I have voted “For” this proposal on Snapshot. I appreciate the ADPC coming to the DAO for approval on something like this, as already having the funds they didn’t need to do this. Although personally I don’t think it’s necessary.
I think at it’s core the DAO has assigned a budget and elected a committee to run this project. So while I think having a natural skepticism and curiosity is fair, I don’t think we need to necessarily monitor every action. Both from a practical standpoint but also tone setting for future committees (i.e., they feel every time a decision is made that is not by the letter of the Tally vote they have to come to the forums and justify expenses.).
Ultimately, that’s really neither here nor there to the specific proposal at hand. We should trust what the committee’s judgement in vetting DeDaub. Both them specifically as well as reaching out to other possible consultants. The price seems reasonable and no one has raised concerns, so I feel comfrotable approving this decision.
