=== COMMENTING ON PROPOSAL: ===
This proposal offers a structured, pre-approved events budget for 2025, addressing challenges that arose from last-minute event planning in 2024. By establishing a dedicated budget managed by Entropy, ADPC, and Disruption Joe, this initiative seeks to streamline event planning and enhance Arbitrum’s presence at critical industry events. The focus on both Delegate Gatherings and Ecosystem Growth Events ensures that DAO activities can be better organized, more impactful, and strategically aligned with the broader goals of the Arbitrum community.
One area of feedback involves ensuring diverse representation in event locations, especially given feedback on the absence of Asian events like Token2049 Dubai. The proposal wisely incorporates a flexible process, allowing contributors to bring forth new event ideas through Snapshot votes, which helps ensure regional representation. Additionally, for events under $50,000, the Questbook program will be utilized to avoid unnecessary governance overload on smaller initiatives.
