Proposal: AIP 1.05: Return 700M $ARB to the DAO Treasury

Vote: Against

Rationale: This is a duplicate proposal and we are aware that sending 750M ARB could have been communicated more effectively and open, It is reasonable to give the Arbitrum Foundation the budget necessary for the next few years, especially with the implementation of AIP 1.1 providing more structure.

Proposal: AIP-1.1 - Lockup, Budget, Transparency

Vote: For

Comment : We are in favor of this proposal since it offers clarity to the DAO and a positive way forward

We believe that this proposal, which aims to allocate funds towards the continued development and maintenance of the Arbitrum network, is crucial for its long-term success. Additionally, we appreciate the transparency provided in the proposal, including a clear breakdown of the proposed allocation and the rationale behind it. The Daostewards view this proposal as a positive step forward for the Arbitrum network and we fully support it.

Proposal: AIP-1.2 - Foundation and DAO Governance

Vote: For

Comment : We are in favor of this proposal since it offers clarity to the DAO and a positive way forward

Refined: Arbitrum proposes establishing a governance model for the DAO via a Foundation, aligning with our community-driven principle. We, as Daostewards, support this proposal because it ensures transparency, accountability, and clear roles and responsibilities for DAO stakeholders, improving efficiency and coordination. Our vote advances the goal of building a thriving and sustainable decentralized ecosystem.

Voted: For

Rationale: Establishing the Procurement Committee adds a needed layer of structure to the ArbitrumDAO. DAOStewards vote in favor of this proposal.

Rationale: Providing better wording is essential to ensure clarity in the Constitution and the community at large. DAOStewards voted in favor of these changes.

[Tally] Arbitrum Stable Treasury Endowment Program
Voted: For

We were in favor of this proposal.

Exploring the RWA vertical is a positive onlook to treasury diversification. We believe the Arbitrum Treasury and Sustainability WG was appointed to bring these sorts of ideas to life so we can learn along the way. At the end of STEP 1, we can review what worked and what didn’t.
