Should the DAO Create COI & Self Voting Policies?

Blockworks Research will be voting in favor of the Disclosure Policy, Responsible Voting policy, and the Strict Self-Voting policy.

These seem to be the most straightforward solutions currently to conflict of interest and the least disruptive. We can glean incidents/possible violations from these policies and decide if there should be any type of further ruling enforced or guidelines from there.

From our point of view, it’s the Self-Voting policy is attempting to draw a line for where DAO delegates/protocols/users represent their own interests and have the DAO have a distinct set of interests delineated from those. This makes sense, because while individuals in the DAO come from a list of different backgrounds, at the end of the day the DAO should still have a few select distinct interests separate from those individuals. Ideally we can achieve this through incentive alignment, however there are sometimes areas where policy is necessary.
