We are very lucky to have @cliffton.eth join us at the Arbitrum Foundation. He started with us on Monday and previously he was involved in the governance efforts for the dYdX DAO.
The above role covers a lot of his responsibilities already. His primary focus is DAO governance which includes helping to establish procedures/processes to assist with DAO decision making and supporting all proposals as a neutral party. Hopefully we’ll see his work start to play out over the coming weeks.
It may still be a good idea for the DAO to appoint governance facilitators too. I don’t have a strong opinion on this. It’ll be good to work out the current bottlenecks to governance and whether the above type of role will help resolve it.
