Voting AGAINST this proposal
There are good reasons to support an operations co and I am a fan of the idea and original proposal by @dk3 but I have too many reservations for this version:
Decentraization
The proposal claims to promote decentralization but then proposes a centralized entity to control other entities and help operate all initiatives under its umbrella
While I support efficiency, this is a drastic change from the current setup that I think may be a bit too quick. I do note that the expansion woudl happen by vote so its not a vote blocker for me just a concern.
Vagueness/unclarity/ lack of clear plan
For a proposal of this magnitude, there is lack of clarity and specificity about not just the op co but specific KPIs, milestones.
The argument coudl very well be made defining such things this early on could be too early. In which case my response woudl be if its too early to specifiy specific KPIs its probably too early to be asking for 22 Million ARB
Cost
Cost should not be the main consideration for major changes that have potential to improve the DAO , but 22 Million ARB makes this a much tougher proposal to approve. The cost does not seem entirely justified in my opinion as it seems compensation heavy for the operators of the Opco.
Overhead
The Opco claims to improve efficiency of the organization – by adding another overseeing organization. I’m not saying this won’t work but combined with the centralization of power and need for additional oversight of the opco im not entirely convinced it will truly lead to more efficiency.
Massive proposal
The biggest issue I have isnt that this is a bad idea but that it is simply a massive proposal that coudl stand to be cut down either in scope, or split into milestones. In software development this is “waterfall” as opposed to agile or iterative development, and without a testing or prototype phase.
Feedback:
I dont think the proposal is totally without merit, its true proejcts move faster with some centralization. But I would want to see an idea like this either proposed with an MVP first to validate the idea - and then scaled up,
or rolled out in phases with funding released upon successful completion of milestones.
