gm folks, thanks for pushing the v2 of the proposal on Snapshot.

Thanks for pushing version 2 of the proposal on Snapshot.

I’d like to share a few thoughts that I believe should be addressed before we proceed to the vote on Tally.

1. The proposal could better highlight and summarize the **impact** the Arbiters have made on Arbitrum. I noticed that [version 1 presented](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/proposal-empowering-early-contributors-the-community-arbiter-proposal/18557) some metrics more effectively than version 2.  
Highlighting the impact is important because we should start move as a DAO from output driven KPIs (“I have answered xx tickets”) to impact-focused metrics (“we have onboarded xx new users”).

2. It seems the proposal on Snapshot omits the fact that Arbiters have already received $7000 each. Mentioning this would offer a more full, fair, picture.

On that note ( **and I’d appreciate confirmation on this** ), my understanding is that an Arbiter’s total compensation over 2.5 years amounts to (with no additional payments within this period):

\*\*\* 5000 ARB (valued at $9500 currently)\*\*  
\*\*\* $7000 cash\*\*

**This totals $16500 for 30 months of contribution, averaging about $550 per month.**

These figures seem fair to me, and if they’re accurate, I’ll be inclined to vote in favor.
