We are strongly in favor of the Delegate Incentive Program (DIP) v1.5. This proposal represents a significant improvement in how delegate contributions are evaluated and rewarded, aligning incentives more closely with the quality and impact of participation rather than merely the volume of comments.
Key Points for Our Support:
- Commitment to High-Quality Contributions: We fully support the shift towards a rubric-based evaluation system emphasizing meaningful, well-considered feedback. This approach will elevate the standard of governance within the Arbitrum DAO, ensuring that rewards go to those who contribute most effectively.
- Ongoing Feedback and Participation: We intend to continue providing high-quality feedback and rationale for our votes, fully aligning with the goals of DIP v1.5. The adjustments in scoring weights, particularly the emphasis on early and impactful feedback, align well with our commitment to thoughtful participation.
- Strategic Alignment and Budget: The proposed budget for additional administrative support and tools is well-justified. Effective program implementation will require these resources to ensure accurate and fair evaluation of delegate performance.
While we recognize concerns about the subjectivity introduced by the rubric, we believe that the overall benefits—particularly the focus on quality and strategic contributions—make v1.5 the right choice for the DAO’s future and that @SEEDGov is well-placed to be its leader.
