[PROPOSAL] - Consolidate Security Proposals into a RFP Process
The @SEEDLatam delegation decided to vote:
Note: We want to clarify that while we were analyzing the proposal and preparing this message, the @Cyfrin team decided to withdraw it. However, we believe it is positive to leave our feedback.
Rationale
As with our past vote, we consider it essential to establish a general framework for contracting service providers, where everyone can compete on an equal footing. This will enable ArbitrumDAO to evaluate and choose the best option in terms of cost, capability, and quality. Therefore, we support the initiative proposed by @dk3, which reflects the approach that the DAO should adopt to prevent centralization and the monopoly of services, as @pedrob expresses in their post. Furthermore, this method ensures that any provider has the chance to compete, thereby improving both the variety and quality of available alternatives. It also makes ArbitrumDAO an appealing environment for the most competent teams in the ecosystem.
Conclusion
We consider the Consolidate Security Proposals into a RFP Proces approach to be beneficial to ArbitrumDAO. We believe it is necessary for the vendor selection process to include the participation of recognized experts in the field of security auditing, as this is a critical area that requires knowledge and experience in the field.
We look forward to a more detailed description of the selection process that is fair, democratic, and competitive for all applicants prior to the Tally vote.
