Establishing a DAO Events Budget for 2025

I voted in favour of this proposal on temp check. Advertising expenses are always important, especially when other teams and organizations are doing it. Sponsoring events is important for Arbitrum.

Before my on-chain vote:

  • It’s still not 100% perfectly clear to me why should this be done through the DAO instead of the Foundation, or Offchain Labs? Who was paying for this before the DAO existed?

  • It would be very helpful to have a deeper breakdown of expenses (although estimates per events were given, I saw). Will a report be published afterwards? How much time after each event? Deadlines?

  • EDIT: Point discussed via TG, this is part -and included- of Entropy’s OG proposal (link), and ADPC work events is also in their scope, so nothing additional is charged

My apologies if any of this has been answered in detail, I read all replies and didn’t find it. Supportive on this stage, attentive for feedback for the on-chain vote, which is active right now and a deadline in 14 days.
