**=== VOTING RATIONALE: ===**

I am voting FOR this proposal, as it addresses a clear need for better-organized event funding and planning within Arbitrum DAO. By earmarking a dedicated $1.5M budget for 2025, the proposal allows the DAO to maintain a steady presence at important events, foster community engagement, and support operational goals. The decision to route smaller events through the Questbook program ensures efficient resource allocation and avoids overburdening the governance process with minor sponsorship requests.

The budget and structure proposed provide flexibility, allowing the DAO to adapt its event strategy based on member feedback and alignment with the broader Ethereum and Web3 ecosystems. The transparent process for selecting and prioritizing events offers a balanced approach to accountability and strategic alignment, making this a valuable initiative for Arbitrum’s continued growth and ecosystem integration.
