GCP Council Re-Confirmation Vote for John Kennedy

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: Reconfirm John Kennedy to GCPC

Rationale:

Reconfirmation of GCP Council Appointees

I read both Tim Chang and John Kennedy’s bios, and I’m sure that their backgrounds and experience show how they can hold this position providing good quality. This is why I’m voting to reconfirm both of them.

Adopt a Delegate Code of Conduct & Formalize Operations

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: For

Rationale:

[Non-Constitutional] Arbitrum DAO Delegate Code of Conduct + Formalizing the DAO's Operations

Even if I always did my best to act accordingly to these principles, I think that a clear formalization can only bring benefits. We are a growing community and, as we grow, we need things to be written somewhere in order to avoid informal behaviors to happen. This would also allow to take clear actions if bad behaviors happen, or to discourage them through a form of ‘deterrence’. Good fences make good neighbors. Voting in favor.

[Non-Constitutional] Treasury Management v1.2

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: For

Rationale:

[Non-Constitutional] Treasury Management v1.2

I’m voting in favor on Snapshot. I don’t think that this proposal is perfect, but it represents a good starting point. Having dedicated people overseeing this aspect is crucial, and while the approach can be refined over time, it’s essential to begin now to make us more competitive. Also, I think that a first 6-month term for both councils is a good timeframe for experimentation that allows flexibility. I believe that progress should be closely and frequently monitored, and reports should be re…

Restitution For Extensively Delayed ArbitrumDAO Minigrant Winners

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: Against

Rationale:

Proposal for Financial Restitution For ArbitrumDAO Grant Winners

I’m voting against this proposal for several reasons. As a judge who participated in the program, I believe I have a unique perspective on this matter. During the process, it became evident that a significant portion of applicants were likely fraudulent or created projects solely to exploit the funding. This was essentially an attempt to seize funds without delivering genuine value. Anyone who applied to be a judge, regardless of the number of votes they received (even zero), was eligible to b…

Hackathon Continuation Program

Platform: Snapshot

Vote: In favour, no onchain mechanism

Rationale:

Hackathon Continuation Program

I’ve decided to vote in favor of the reasons I mentioned earlier. However, regarding the options ‘no onchain’ and ‘yes onchain,’ I’ve chosen the first one for now. I believe the implications of the ‘yes, onchain mechanism’ option haven’t been fully explained, and I’d like to have a clearer understanding before making a decision in that direction. Perhaps it would be better to consider this as a separate proposal for further discussion.
