DAOplomats Delegate Communication Thread

November 2024

A code of conduct fosters better transparency in the community. We supported this proposal during the temp check.

[Tally] (V2) Arbitrum Research & Development Collective

Voted: FOR

[Tally] Establishing a DAO Events Budget for 2025

Voted: FOR

[Snapshot] [Non-Constitutional] Treasury Management v1.2

Voted: FOR

There have been discussions and more recently a proposal that highlighted the need to address insufficient ARB holdings covering agreed-upon rates. To mitigate these sorts of issues in the future, treasury management would come in handy. Hence, we supported this.

[Snapshot] Restitution For Extensively Delayed ArbitrumDAO Minigrant Winners

Voted: AGAINST

We were against this proposal as we would love to preserve process integrity.

[Snapshot] Hackathon Continuation Program

Voted: In favor, no onchain mechanism

A process to sustain ongoing hackathon projects is good so we were in favor of this proposal. We also voted for no onchain mechanism to reduce administrative overhead

December 2024

[Snapshot] [Non-consitutional] User Research: Why build on Arbitrum?

Voted: Researching within Arbitrum only

We are generally in support of more narrowed-down research so we voted in favor of conducting one within the Arbitrum DAO only.

[Snapshot] Designing and operating the reporting and information function

Voted: Against

Alex Lumley mentioned he would be dialing in more details to the proposal so we voted against it during the temp check.

Voted: For

We agree some parts of the proposal still need to be fleshed out but we are supportive of the initiative and decided to signal early support by voting in favor.

[Snapshot] ARDC (V2) Elections

Voted
Communications Role
We split our vote evenly between @Frisson @pedrob @jameskbh. Very present individuals who have demonstrated they are capable of fulfilling the obligations of this role.

Research
Here, we voted for Blockwork Advisory. They have been strong supporters of the Arbitrum community doing valuable work, most recently, their Timeboost analysis.

Risk
For risk, we voted for @VendingMachine. Very committed team, and with the work they put into the staking WG, we are pretty confident they would deliver well here too.

Security
Voted for @openzeppelin in this category. Solid work background within Arbitrum DAO generally but most especially along the ARDC lines. Also, good action items for V2.

[Snapshot] Unifying Arbitrum’s Mission, Vision, Purpose (MVP)

Voted: For

This is much needed and with the window to continuously iterate for six months, we were happy to support this proposal during the temp check.

[Snapshot] Partner with ETH Bucharest 2025

Voted: Against

We have a structure and plan for events in 2025 and would prefer the DAO to stick to that rather than spend separately on this. For this reason, we voted against during the temp check.

[Snapshot] OpCo – A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution

Voted: For

We were in favor of this proposal as it introduces a better structure for the community.

[Tally] Arbitrum Hackathon Builder Continuation Program

Voted: For

Voted: For

The Cohort one was good so we were happy to support a second iteration of the program.

[Snapshot] Arbitrum D.A.O. Season 3 Elections - New Protocols and Ideas

Voted: Saurabh 75%, Gabriel 25%

Saurabh extensive experience from participation in Questbook’s DDA program as a grants manager would play a major part in this role among other things. We also voted for Gabriel as we are supportive of how they envision supporting DeFi projects.

[Snapshot] Arbitrum D.A.O. Season 3 Elections - Education, Community Growth, and Events

Voted: SEEDGov

SEED has shown much more alignment than any other group in this category, and with a strong plan on how they are looking to go about this role, we are in favor.

[Snapshot] Arbitrum D.A.O. Season 3 Elections - Dev Tooling on One and Stylus

Voted: Juandi

This was another easy one. We believe Juandi has handled this role well in DDA’s past iterations and has strong expertise so we are happy to support him once again.

[Snapshot] Arbitrum D.A.O. Season 3 Elections - Gaming

Voted: Flook

Gaming is somewhat a slippery slope considering we already have a body dedicated to leading this. However, we are confident Flook would still bring value here as they have deep experience and alignment within the community hence our support.
