**AIP: BoLD - permissionless validation for Arbitrum**  
**Vote:** for on Snapshot  
Rationale:

> [@AIP: BOLD - permissionless validation for Arbitrum](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/aip-bold-permissionless-validation-for-arbitrum/23232/61):
>
> I voted for all three aspects of the proposal on Snapshot. The protocol itself is clearly necessary for both the project’s evolution as well as maintaining Arbitrum’s role as a leader among L2s. The two economic proposals are also well thought out and have benefited from ongoing dialogue here on the forum. The need for a single honest attestor/validator is both a security benefit and an aid to implementation, and the Foundation is the obvious party to get the technology on its feet. It’s also …

**AIP: Funds to bootstrap the first BoLD validator - Operational cost sentiment**  
**Vote:** for  
**Rationale:** as above

**AIP: Funds to bootstrap the first BoLD validator - Bond sentiment**  
**Vote:** for  
**Rationale:** as above

**Pilot Phase: Arbitrum Ventures Initiative**  
**Vote:** for (no IRL event) on Snapshot, and on Tally  
**Rationale:**

>
> I voted for this proposal (without the event) and am excited to see what it will bring to the DAO. We are very long on spending possibilities and short on general frameworks to guide decisions about that spending. This proposal has the potential to start to address this gap and also requires a limited commitment from the DAO for this pilot stage. I take others’ points about overlap with other programs, but I see AVI as complementary to the M&A initiative given that one focuses on non-controllin…

**Election of STEP Program Manager**  
**Vote:** 50% Steakhouse, 50% Avantgarde on Snapshot  
**Rationale:** Avantgarde’s expertise in asset management, coupled with Steakhouse’s demonstrated experience with reporting and novel asset types, makes them the optimal combination.

**Multisig Support Service (MSS) Elections**  
Votes:

- @JoJo
- @Griff
- @cattin
- @Sinkas
- StableLab
- @DisruptionJoe
- @Frisson

**Rationale:** Each of these delegates in their own way is effectively a core contributor to the DAO, and is already investing the effort to stay involved across multiple projects. That’s what we need for MSS.

**ArbitrumHub Evolution: The Next Step in Streamlining Information Access and Raising Awareness for Arbitrum DAO**  
**Vote:** against on Snapshot  
**Rationale:**

> I’m joining others in voting against this proposal on Snapshot. The existing hub has a beautiful design and a lot of potential, but it’s hard to see how this proposal concretely gets to that potential, and the budget ask is much too big for the stated scope. The team has done a great job so far, and has demonstrated on the forum and elsewhere that they’re aligned with and committed to the DAO. I hope this work gets reframed in a way that can works for everyone, and that the team takes up offer’…

**ArbitrumDAO Contribution; Safeguarding Software Developers’ Rights**  
**Vote:** for on Tally  
**Rationale:** This is important work that the DAO, given its size, should contribute to.
