Commenting on Proposal Link: LTIPP Retroactive Community Funding - #54 by AlexLumley

=== VOTING RATIONALE: ===

I am voting DO NOT FUND for this proposal. Although I value the contributions of individual community members, this proposal’s structure is insufficiently developed to ensure a fair and transparent allocation of retroactive rewards. The absence of objective criteria for evaluating contributions makes it difficult to determine funding eligibility accurately. This could set a problematic precedent of arbitrary or subjective funding decisions. A clearer framework with predefined KPIs or evaluation guidelines would provide a more effective approach for future retroactive funding initiatives.

Given that current programs already support community engagement, redirecting resources to enhance these initiatives could provide more consistent and measurable outcomes. While retroactive funding can be a valuable tool, its implementation requires well-defined metrics to uphold accountability and avoid misallocated resources. This pilot highlights the need for better-aligned incentives and structured financial strategies, which AVI could explore to support long-term, meaningful contributions to the DAO.
