Detailed thoughts on how you would solve these two problem spaces
Contributor Alignment
As to the guilds’ roles, I would standardize the positions and the salaries. I would further give a set amount which the guilds are free to use for micro-roles; bounties or Coordinape. These amounts should work as a premium depending on how much revenue for the DAO the Guild has produced through its projects. The guilds should source the talents and help to set up meaningful projects also through cross-guild collaborations.
The remuneration should predominantly come from projects, which are able to create value for the DAO.
The Guilds should have the power to exclude people that do not fit anymore the requirements to be top contributors. The excluded persons can appellate the decision at the Ombuds (or a different ADR system). In case of contrast, the final decision would be remitted to the community.
In my view, the weaker aspect of our Guest Pass, L1 and L2 systems are the L2s. I strongly favor the maintenance of the 35k BANK threshold as I think that social DAOs should have this entry barrier in order to signal that the DAO requires some form of commitment. Without entry holdings our token would become pretty meaningless. The guest pass system is ok. People that work could continuously renew. Others will tend not to renew, given that they are unable to bring value. Guilds could decide whether not to renew the Guest pass (a procedure similar to the one of the core contributors would apply).
For L2s I would put some mandatory reputational elements (Guild roles hold in the past; created forum posts; created projects, ecc.).
I would also create positions for super long-term contributors as an additional incentive. They would get a higher salary with a vested part.
Strategic Prioritization
The DAO should create a budged and strategy Guild able to study the projects that could have more success and follow their work. From the beginning every project should present a business plan in which it is indicated when (and which) revenue will flow to the DAO treasury.
After a submission period for projects, the budget and strategy Guild should present a program with the indication of the projects that will receive funding. Excluded projects may contact the Ombuds or a different ADR system. Final decision about exclusion would be on the community.
I think that it is important to grant the initial funding if the community thinks that a project has value. What we have to implement is a way of checking the projects and understanding whether there is value. For bigger projects (e.g. Academy, Bounty board, DEGEN, Sapiens), I would implement a system with external reviewers known in the industry. I think that a professional view on the potentiality of projects may be an advantage for our DAO.

Other obligations during Season 3
My jobs are all part-time and I work 13-14 hrs per day, because I have a great passion for what I do!
In Season 2 I am the Legal Guild Coordinator and a member of the Grants Committee. In case of election, I would leave the role as coordinator. I would also like to leave the role as member of the GC, but I think that it would be complicated to elect a subsistute and I don't want to create problems to the community.

Reason for Applying
I am very grateful to BanklessDAO and to the community for all the fantastic things that I have learned and the wonderful people that I have met. I think that, together with close members, I have created valuable things for the community (Legal Research, Legal Newsletter, Ombuds, External Grants for Bankless: Perpetual, Balancer, GRO). Nevertheless, I feel that I could give more and I would really like to demonstrate my skills and to explain my ideas. BanklessDAO has really be the beginninig of my Web3.0 carrier! Afterwards I got many important recognitions in other communities, as Polygon and Aragon. It is clear that without Bankless I wouldn't have such opportunities. I would like to take this occasion in order to give back to Bankless!
