Thanks for the detailed comments, Joe!

I didn’t mean to cost cut for the sake of it, but probe more deeply into whether we’ve done the public exercise of cutting the flab by removing projects and activities deemed to have had relatively less impact.

But this is important context I missed, as the late start affects timelines for gauging success

Post Jan 15th I would be keen to go more into the projects you deem as being “low impact” and see what course corrections can be made there, and how that might affect overall budget before the onchain tally vote.

Not just me but all the other delegates too appreciate how involved you are with the Arbitrum ecosystem. Your daily involvement with the DAO has put you in an irreplaceable position of connecting capable people in your network with tasks that need to be done for the DAO.

You have earned the trust of the DAO for sure, we are just asking for more involvement into how the number of 30 million ARB came to be, or in your own words

Overall, it looks like we have to take a leap of faith with plurality labs for milestone 2; you have earned that in my view, and I’m going to hold you to the committment you are making for milestone 3!
