ChamaDao Delegate Communication Thread

[chamadao]

February voting and rationale will be updated in this post over the course of the month.

Voted FOR Nova fee swap from timeboost.

AIP: Timeboost + Nova Fee Sweep

We will vote yes on this. Returning the funds to be productive for the DAO is a simple decision. Further information about timeboost and it’s benefits / downsides after some time in production will be most welcome. Where can we best find this information? A single location for this kind of info on the DAO would be helpful.

We have voted on chain for the following proposals.

Voted FOR on STEP 2.0 continuation, as signaled with the snapshot vote and with no change in rationale.

Voted AGAINST creating OpCo. We have provided feedback in the relevant form thread:

The OpCo - Scale, Structure, & Synergy

We are voting AGAINST on this proposal. Our reasoning is that such an initiative should start smaller and with a smaller budget, allowing time to iterate and make clear objectives, see results then scale up the program over time. We should take example from other successful DAOs where service providers have small budgets and are aligned with the overall growth of the DAO, then paid for results. For example, 25 million ABR is over $10 million. That is more than all of the non-technical service…

We voted AGAINST the Stylus extension, just like we voted against the original proposal.

Request to Increase the Stylus Sprint Committee’s Budget

When the original proposal for the Stylus Sprint was posted, we said this: There were no clear deliverables and goals, which is why we voted against then. Now, there is a further proposal to extend the budget. This suggests there was no clear budget as well for the original program. This is not how the DAO should be spending funds, and is another example of what we have been regularly saying: “too much spending with too little impact.” We are voting AGAINST this proposal.

We voted AGAINST the Growth Circles Event Proposal. Our rationale is that this is continued unnecessary spending that is better served under specific service provider or intiative budgets that already exist.

We voted FOR the ArbOS version 40 proposal as it is an important technical upgrade to the network.

We voted FOR the Arbitrum Audit Program. While the budget is likely excessive, if the DAO is to spend on things, best that is spending on enhancing security across the network and supporting builders.

We voted AGAINST the Stylus grant increase during the on-chain vote, following our previous rationale presented above.
