You bring good points @DisruptionJoe
a. On the point of delegates doing governance work, I’d like to see if @Frisson and the Tally team have any stats they want to share about governance participation in DAOs across time. In my experience, DAOs which do not compensate delegates for actively participating in governance often are not well governed. Therefore I’d encourage the community think about governance incentives from the getgo. I wonder if the foundation has any plans here? CC:@stonecoldpat
b. On the point about service provider fees vs grants, they could be the same thing, and ideally the pluralistic grants framework would be able to identify the best providers to give repeated grants to, but till then this remains a test awaiting experimental results.
Finally, we have seen more proposals such as
requesting funds over a fixed time period. All these proposals want to provide different services to the DAO and more will follow asking for funds with different deliverables. It’s in the interest of the DAO to agree on a framework in order to evaluate each provider in a domain agnostic manner.
