Thank you for replying and engaging with this @maxlomu since I think we should figure this out in the open, here on the forum.
My main point for that dispute was that I assumed that your work on that proposal was made as business development work for Everclear, not as an Arbitrum DAO delegate. Which by the way, if it was BD work for Everclear, it was very good work, because it had a successful outcome for Everclear by being included in the list of the official Offchain Labs announcement of the Interop program and, I assume, being part of the pilot that you announced.
So, to help clarify my assumptions, could you directly answer just a few questions:
- Is Everclear part of that Offchain Labs pilot? In which capacity? (I asked you to clarify this in this comment on the proposal, as well).
- Were you working as Ecosystem Lead for Everclear from October 2024 to the 19th of December 2024? (December 19th is the date of your last comment on the proposal, before your pilot announcement comment)
- What specific contributions have you made to this proposal during the month of January? (I’m asking because there were no updates on the proposal forum thread in January 2025)
- Would you say that your work on this proposal can be considered business development work for Everclear? If not, how so?
To clarify my position, I agree with this completely, even for this specific proposal, which I think is valuable for the DAO. But, if this proposal was made as business development work for Everclear, while you were the Ecosystem Lead for Everclear, I think there should not be any BP awarded to it because:
Now, we can argue if you being part of Everclear falls, or not, into this criterion of “do not have funds allocated to the creator (of the proposal)”, but it ultimately is a decision of the PM of the DIP, since BP is awarded completely at the discretion of @SEEDGov. So I’ll wait for their response to my dispute.
And yes, this is the first time a delegate has put up a DIP dispute regarding another delegate’s score. As I said in a DM to you, my aim with this dispute is to understand and clarify how the DIP works for everybody so that all delegates understand what can count, or not count, as BP, not to challenge your compensation as a delegate, or your contributions to the DAO.
