Making the assumption that this is 80% of incentives earmarked towards growth-incentives of any sort, being directed towards the programs described in this submission, that feels like too much to the point that it will hamstring the budget available to any other potential ideas. This comes from me being increasingly disillusioned with the long-term sustainability of renting-liquidity.
There are other suggestions included under this rubric, granted, but the inclusion of this specifically makes me worried that the lions-share would be going into this and things of this nature, which I worry may not be productive.
Edit: It has been clarified that “Incentives are a small portion of this bucket” which reassures me, so this part of my comment has been largely addressed IMO.
I find this very welcome, as in my opinion The Vision was very heavy on “all these powers will be granted and delegated to AAE’s” while providing no expectation of oversight or accountability. AAE’s are useful and sure to serve an as important role going forward as they are now, if not moreso, but it has to be under a system of reasonable checks and balances on their activities.
So far the creation and evolution of The Vision happened, as far as I can tell, entirely behind closed doors with only the end-product dropped in our lap, without dialogue or even responses to comments in The Vision-thread that now exists.
Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior, and past behavior of AAE’s working in concert have resulted in secrecy, non-transparent collaboration and one-way-communication without questions or concerns addressed. We have no reason to expect different from them going forward, so we need to require a reasonable level transparency and dialogue as one of the conditions of collaboration.
