First of all, Paulo is a trusted member of the Arbitrum DAO community, so this proposal already has a positive feel to me :). Thanks @paulofonseca and the team for continuing to invest in improving governance infra!
I like the three features mentioned, they’re practical and thoughtful and definitely have a yes from me:
-
Voting Power Tags help readers see who the big delegates are in discussions, and adds clarity and accountability.
-
Live Votes make it easier to follow and vote directly from the forum, super helpful for busy delegates and newcomers.
-
Email notifications are a great way to keep community members in the loop, especially those not active on the forum.
That said, I do have one concern. After seeing what happened with the Senate tool in Aave DAO passed in Sept 2023, stopped by Dec. I worry about what happens if things don’t go as planned here.
The payment is done in 3 months, but the work is supposed to last 2 years. I think we should add backup plan in case the team can’t continue midway. While I trust the team’s intent, the DAO must safeguard itself.
