I am glad to see this proposal moving forward. I think this will help with the institutionalization of the DAO. The OpCo will provide a more formal operational structure and increase the strategic alignment across all the initiatives within the DAO. One of the end goals should be providing a more structural framework to coordinate the ecosystem’ initiatives and proposals.
OpCo will change the manner in which the DAO operates right now substantially, I believe. We should approach its development with a flexible mindset. When I first read the proposal I saw centralization as something detrimental to the DAO’s values but now I understand the need for it. Besides, I believe the checks and balances contemplated in its design will effectively limit any undue concentration of power, as the DAO retains the ability to adjust the scope of operations or even assume full control if needed.
Its important to stress the involvement of the OAT and its role in functioning as a DAO-OpCo bridge. In fact, I view the OAT’s responsibility of maintaining a proper balance as even more critical than the CEO’s position. It should be in their scope of responsibilities to make sure the OpCo remains responsive, transparent, and accountable over the long term.
I am voting FOR this proposal in Snapshot, looking forward to its development and with the belief that this will help the DAO thrive in the always-evolving landscape we are all used to.
