I’d like to add something on a personal note. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the various venture-related initiatives we’re discussing in the DAO right now, as well as the discussions we’re having about budget management. I feel that right now we as a DAO lack the capacity to handle these initiatives from an operational point of view.
Because of that, there is a lot of burden placed on the proposer to not only have a worthy initiative, but also to figure out how to execute that initiative within the DAO so that the DAO maintains control and practical oversight of those initiatives. The proposer is acting in a way as both a seller and a buyer, trying to address both points of view. This makes the proposal process very cumbersome and costly for the proposer and the end result is commonly not optimal for the DAO.
Perhaps we should revisit the OpCo proposal initiated by @dk3 some time ago, as I think it could help alleviate many of the problems we have now.
