74. Proposal: The Watchdog: Arbitrum DAO’s Grant Misuse Bounty Program (Tally)

• Vote: For

• Rationale: I voted in favor on Snapshot and will continue to support this proposal onchain.

  Besides the positives I shared earlier, I believe Watchdog could set a strong precedent for transparent grant oversight across DAOs, especially with so many funding and grant activities happening right now to support builders and projects in the web3 ecosystem

On a case by case basis, if all attempts at backchanneling fail and the accused party is nonresponsive, the report may be posted to the forum with all the watcher’s personal and identifiable information redacted in the version posted publicly. Additionally, on a case by case basis, the committee may decide to post a summary of a grant misuse report to inform the DAO of certain incidents. Otherwise individual reports will not be posted to the forum directly.

I agree but wanted to add one point, in high level cases involving large-scale abuse, after internal efforts fail, we could also consider posting the accused party’s info on social media so other DAOs or ecosystem partners can blacklist them.

I don’t think this is overreacting, it’s about protecting our partners and and the whole space from bad actors
