Blockworks Research will be voting FOR the implementation of the MSS and the reporting services on Snapshot.
We think this is a great initiative, reducing expenses in a scalable way while likely also increasing operational efficiency. We also believe that the Token Flow Report is a solid addition, with accounting services seeming like a high value-add to the DAO.
Community members have discussed the signer committee structure quite extensively. On most points raised, we maintain a neutral stance. However, we believe that an extended term for this initiative actually makes sense, since it seems that robust guardrails are being put in place and the time spent on additional voting/operational ramp-up for new signers would be decreased. Moreover, we strongly agree with this point made by L2BEAT:
Do we understand correctly that the planned finance back-office functions are intended to cover only DAO programs valued below $50M? If so, we believe it would be advantageous to broaden the scope to encompass all funding initiatives. This would prevent potential complications arising from, e.g., multiple reporting entities and community members having to go through several data sources. Additionally, a beneficial inclusion that immediately comes to mind would be the addition of forward-looking figures, such as F12M revenue and expense projections, to the report.
