After discussing the new RFC proposal with DK to understand their vision, Sherlock believes that an RFP-style process for auditing services is in the best interest of the DAO (if executed well). Because of this, Sherlock has decided not to post this proposal to Snapshot, and Sherlock will instead direct its coalition of delegates to vote for DK’s RFC and to vote against all other auditor-specific proposals.
Of course, a lot of effort is needed to turn DK’s RFC into a fully fleshed-out version that everyone can rally behind. Sherlock has successfully been through similar RFP processes with other DAOs and Sherlock is happy to provide feedback to DK and others as to what works well and what causes issues.
To confirm, Sherlock is withdrawing its own proposal and putting its endorsement (and delegates) behind DK’s RFC because Sherlock believes the RFP process approach is in the best interest of the Arbitrum DAO.
