I have decided to vote FOR the “ArbitrumDAO Contribution; Safeguarding Software Developers’ Rights & the Right to Privacy” proposal on Snapshot.
Rationale:
As a passionate advocate of cypherpunk history, I recognize the pivotal importance of this proposal in safeguarding the rights of software developers and ensuring their right to privacy, particularly within the realms of open-source and decentralized software. These principles are foundational to the continued innovation and freedom in the tech community, and they resonate deeply with the ethos of the cypherpunk movement.
Comments:
I will cast my vote off-chain for the option to fund each organization with 500,000 ARB. This funding level represents a balanced approach, providing substantial support while ensuring prudent resource management. It is crucial that we monitor the effectiveness of this initial investment to determine if further support is needed based on tangible outcomes and impacts. This scalable funding strategy allows us to review and adjust our support, ensuring it continues to align with our objectives and delivers real results.
I also have some questions:
-
What mechanisms will be put in place to ensure we receive regular updates and maintain accountability regarding the use of funds? It’s crucial that there be a clear and structured communication strategy to keep the DAO informed. How do they plan to engage with us, and what format will these updates take? I understand it’s nothing clear at the moment but, I would say it’s important.
-
Is there a strategic plan to enhance the visibility and impact of these organizations’ efforts, both within and beyond the crypto community? Perhaps the DAO could support these efforts in some way. It’s important to understand whether the expectation is for these organizations to work primarily behind the scenes, or if there are plans to actively promote their initiatives, which would further the cause of defending software developers’ rights and privacy.
