Arbitrum DAO Procurement Committee: Phase II Proposal

Castle appreciates the efforts to address the DAO’s needs and has thoroughly reviewed the Phase II proposal. We will be voting Yes in support of the proposal but would like to request further clarification on a few key areas to ensure it fully aligns with the community’s best interests.

  1. Budget Breakdown and Utilization of Funds
    While the proposal includes a significant request for funds, there is some lack of clarity around the specific breakdown according to the initiatives included. A more detailed budget breakdown would help the community make a well-informed decision. In particular, we would like to understand:
    • How will the requested funds be allocated across the different initiatives within Phase II?
    • Regarding the contingency buffer, what criteria will determine when the ADPC can utilize the allocated budget?

  2. Broad Scope of Work
    We also have concerns that the scope of work outlined in the proposal appears too broad, which could potentially dilute focus and hinder efficient execution. A more targeted approach with clearly defined milestones would enable the DAO community to better monitor progress.

We appreciate the hard work that has gone into this proposal and look forward to further clarifications
