Experimental Delegates Incentive System
Vote: For
Type: Onchain
As per our previous Snapshot vote, we still believe that this initiative should not incorporate Karma to start with. Once the program matures and it becomes clear what exactly needs to be optimized after manually operating this initiative, then Karma should ideally be incorporated. Regardless, we voted FOR the onchain proposal because, on the whole, we believe in the positive impact that this program can have on delegate participation. One aspect we’d like to flag one more time is the ability for the DAO to weed out pointless contributions–those done for the sake of contribution.
Proposal to Establish the Arbitrum Research & Development Collective
Vote: For
Type: Onchain
We voted FOR the initial coalition proposal but voted against this proposal during the Snapshot. However, our position has since changed, so we voted FOR this proposal onchain. Our general stance is that the DAO should have committees for facilitating various critical DAO functions. The initial release of this proposal was met with a lack of engagement, so we wanted more conversation to transpire before being in favor. Although the feedback for this initiative still hasn’t met the same level of engagement as the coalition proposal in the forums, when observing conversations in private channels, it became clear that there is appetite from most delegates to see this through.
We also suggested previously that this proposal can be divided up into multiple proposals to prevent bundling too many decisions into one vote. The broad nature of the proposal may still make this the better approach, however, we do realize that unbundling this proposal may be operationally difficult, requiring multiple snapshots /onchain votes.
