Proposal: Time Management in Arbitrum’s Governance

[axlvaz_SEEDLATAM.eth]

Hi @krst, thanks for your feedback and support.

We have a few points we want to highlight:

@krst

The DAO is still picking up the pace when it comes to active contributors and proposals, so the described procedure might soon prove itself too long or too short. We should keep track of any challenges that arise and reassess the cadence if needed.

Yes, we know this from the beginning, but the idea of this one is to establish an order and then iterate. As we have expressed before, set up these processes to have a first order and then change according to the needs of the DAO.

@krst

• Mobilising the DAO to vote on something that cannot really be enforced, as outlined in your proposal as well, might be a waste of time for governance participants, and a waste of gas money if there is an on-chain vote. Perhaps only doing a Snapshot vote would help with that.
• Not voting on the other hand would make it challenging to have contributors adhere to the outlined procedure voluntarily, as it won’t be something introduced or officially accepted by the DAO.

In this we are in 100% agreement, however we decided to go ahead with the proposal and we believe in the good predisposition of the DAO members. Also, that is why we had proposed the role of the Facilitator, to help manage these times.

We had many doubts at the beginning, whether to propose this or not, but we believe that order is necessary and predictability helps to make the job of being a delegate easier.

@krst

We’d also like to take the opportunity and suggest that the process is somehow connected to the monthly Open Governance Call. It’d be a great opportunity for proposers to pitch their proposals, and for delegates to collectively review and discuss them.

This is the idea behind the proposal, that the rest of the activities adapt and everything has an order. We attend all the Open Governance Calls, we think it is a great space.

A clear example of this is the sessions that he proposed for the postulation of the domain allocator.

Arbitrum DAO Grants Domain Allocator Nominations

First of all, we’d like to congratulate Questbook for getting so many great nominees in this process, it bodes very well for the future of the Domain Allocator program! Following the conclusion of the Domain Allocators nominations for Questbook’s grant program, we’d like to propose and facilitate 2 nominees’ pitching sessions. During the sessions, nominees for the different domain allocators roles will have an opportunity to convince delegates why they should vote for them by presenting why th…

I don’t know if this was pre-established, but it is a very good idea for the delegates to have a space to listen to the applicants. Let’s keep in mind that we all knew when the proposal was going to be voted on. This predictability helps these things happen organically.
