Rationale
As a Latin American delegation, we’re very excited to vote in favor of a proposal of this sort - we strongly believe that promoting IRL events and conferences will help increase education on Arbitrum and L2s in the region, potentially bringing the next wave of users & builders. Also, considering how strong the presence of some alt-L1’s is in the region, we should encourage more events of this sort to bring more awareness to Ethereum L2s and how Arbitrum offers a better experience for users (both in safety and ecosystem-wise).
Apart from this we also wanted to mention that it might be possible to simply pass this proposal through our QuestBook Domain (following the due process of course), which could be easier for the DAO and grantees - this of course if the Domain is live by this week. We would’ve done this before, but since we weren’t sure on the timeline and knowing that ETH Mexico starts in ~20 days, we decided to pass it through governance too just in case our domain wasn’t ready by then. So we extend an invitation to @brichis to discuss this if they are interested.
Conclusion
We’re happy to support this proposal, and we also want to discuss potentially passing it through our QuestBook Domain instead of through onchain governance.
