DAOplomats voted ABSTAIN on this proposal on Tally.
While we initially supported the proposal during the temperature check, we opted to abstain in the onchain vote. Our primary concerns align with those raised by other delegates regarding the budget (despite its revisions); however, our main reason for abstaining stems from dissatisfaction with the overall structure of the program.
We believe that onboarding should take a research-driven approach rather than simply matching participants to protocols. In essence, we advocate for a model where participants come in, learn about the community, research on pain points (which can then translate to proposals), and then we have these contributions rewarded.
Additionally, while some delegates have expressed concerns that the DAO is not currently in the right position to support such an initiative, we take a different stance. Sometimes it’s good to get thrown into turmoil. Challenges and uncertainty can often serve as catalysts for growth, fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in any org/community.
In summary, we remain supportive of the initiative’s broader goals but believe a more strategic, research-oriented approach to onboarding would be more effective than direct protocol matching
