The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @krst and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two.
We’re voting AGAINST the proposal.
Although we are not against the concept of onboarding new contributors to the DAO -if anything, we’re in favor of it, as proven by the fact that we facilitated the creation of the onboarding working group- we’re not confident in the timing of the proposal.
As things are in the DAO right now, even seasoned participants have a hard time making meaningful contributions due to the lack of overarching vision and direction, and the fact that many things are still being figured out would make it hard for a new participant to participate.
The onboarding working group we facilitated clearly showed that as a DAO we struggle to define meaningful ways for new contributors to add value to the ecosystem. We think it’s solvable, and hopefully we’ll soon have enough open opportunities for newcomers to fill. But for now, we think this initiative is a bit premature.
That said, we believe the overall direction of the proposal to be worthwhile to explore—maybe with some amendments—down the line when there are actually areas in which new contributors will be able to contribute.
