As the DAO approaches the end of its 6.5 month trial period for the Code of Conduct (CoC) and updated procedures, as ratified in this Snapshot proposal, we wanted to share our thoughts on why we believe this trial period should be extended till the end of the year.
The proposal states that once the 6.5 month trial period ends on May 30th, 2025, it should be considered for permanent inclusion in the Arbitrum Constitution. However, we believe that this would be premature, as the CoC in particular, hasn’t yet been battle tested enough (i.e. no one has been removed from any DAO program as a result of it).
For this to be effective, the DAO would need to agree to extend the trial period along with incorporating any changes to the current Code of Conduct and/ or DAO Procedures, via a Snapshot vote. The Arbitrum Foundation has been in conversation with Entropy about what these adjustments may entail. Entropy is working on a follow up proposal that will be brought to the DAO for further community input in the coming weeks.
