Proposal: [[NON-CONSTITUTIONAL] Arbitrum Onboarding V2: A Governance Bootcamp - #127 by tamara](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/non-constitutional-arbitrum-onboarding-v2-a-governance-bootcamp/27546/127) Vote: AGAINST Type: On-chain Rationale: For me this was a though decision but I ended up voting against. **What spoke in favor** - the DAO needs **more skilled delegates** - the Arbitrum DAO is **complex in nature** - in light of the amount requested, the **proposal is very thorough** - the **team set-up would invite some diversity into the DAO** (and you can say all you want pro/con, end of the story is that 49.7% of the world’s population is female, and if we want to move the financial system on-chain we need to be creating products not only attracting male degens - I am exaggerating on purpose - but also other demographics; and hence we need these demographics to be represented otherwise we will never create products that are being liked and used) **What spoke against** - **poor ROI;** ~200k USD for 10 delegates is simply too high; at current ARB prices this could fund 11 DIPs - the reality of DAOs and Web3 in a broader sense is that **to succeed you need to be able to** (at least at some level) **self-teach** yourself some concepts. Even by attending a governance bootcamp, applicants might face hurdles when certain topics are up for voting - if they have not been able to teach themselves concepts before, they wont be able to educate themselves on new topics/hence bringing low value **What could be explored in the future** - taking the **funding DIPs** idea, there could some sort of competition to win 5 DIPs for new delegates. E.g., need to join the DAO and show that they can provide value over 4 months. Top 5 get voted on, receive 50k ARB and can apply for DIP - **broadening the funnel** : I am a big fan of SheFi (COI: I was part of cohort 11 and think Maggie is very inspiring) and believe something similar could be helpful to generally onboard non-crypto natives into Web3 (no matter their sex). E.g., something like a Arbitrum University (going through the same lectures as SheFi) that introduces people into crypto generally (and by onboarding them to Arbitrum/providing them value expecting them to stick to the ecosystem → lower hanging fruit vs chasing yield seekers). A nice side effect is that a curriculum (such as Arbitrum University) can be marketed on Meta/TikTok etc (while crypto is mostly banned). From such a funnel, where we educate ppl about crypto, also potential contributors could come from/but even if there are just a few/none, at least we “Arbitrum pilled” them. As I have also commented to other marketing intiatives/incentives etc.: I am **missing the whole picture** which could be the following: - through incentives (which are xyz) we target yield seekers - through Arbitrum University we target non native crypto users - through DIP scholarship we compete for the most promising DAO contributors - etc ---

Proposal: [GMC's Preferred Choices for 7,500 ETH RFP - #49 by Griff](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/gmcs-preferred-choices-for-7-500-eth-rfp/28524/49) Voting YES. As mentioned in this [post](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/gmcs-preferred-choices-for-7-500-eth-rfp/28524/26) I believe the goal of the GMC and its potential options could have been communicated clearer, but I do agree that a) idle sitting ETH is a waste b) Arbitrum’s Treasury should be allocated in a risk sensitive manner ---

Proposal: [[Non-constitutional][RFC] ARB Incentives: User Acquisition for dApps & Protocols](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/non-constitutional-rfc-arb-incentives-user-acquisition-for-dapps-protocols/28291) Voting FOR after - my concerns/questions ([here](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/non-constitutional-rfc-arb-incentives-user-acquisition-for-dapps-protocols/28291/16) and [here](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/non-constitutional-rfc-arb-incentives-user-acquisition-for-dapps-protocols/28291/42)) were addressed - having a call with @kamilgorski I am especially excited about the off-chain strategy, as imo making the pie bigger is the right strategy. LFG * * * Proposal: [OpCo – Oversight and Transparency Committee (OAT) Elections](https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/opco-oversight-and-transparency-committee-oat-elections/28867) Voting for Patrick, AJ and Jana. Why? One reason (in my opinion) why the OpCo will be powerful is that it will be able to have a bird’ s-eye view across DAO, Foundation, and OCL, making sure functions are not duplicated and streamlining efforts towards a common vision. Thus @stonecoldpat and @ajwarner90 are a no-brainer. At the same time we will need someone who - has stood up a similar effort in the past - has experience, the grits and the time! to execute/nudge others to get things going Hence @Janabe
