Agenda:
Notes:
  • Grants committee Lead and reviewers
    • Make sure that submissions are seen and voted on?
    • Execution of the multisig should sit with 2 vs a bunch of different people
  • Election of lead roles
    • Iced proposes Grendel - Accepted!
    • AAJ
    • Kouros
  • Terms of the rolls of leader and reviewer:
    • Per season?
    • Adjusting to seasons in the future....
      • 3 members are on the grants committee for 1 season, while 3 are on for 2.
    • How long should the grants committee leader be the leader?
      • For the length of their term???
        • 2 seasons
        • 1 term = 2 seasons
        • Maximum consecutive term = 4 seasons?
        • Bringing this to a committee discussion
    • Maximum term for the lead position?
      • If they are doing well, imposing a limit seems like it could be a problem for us
      • Limit allows for rotation of people to limit consolidation of power.
      • Is there a recall mechanism?
        • This way we could make sure there isn't abuses
      • Seems like there are limited interest in the first place?
      • Nonsense - Term limits is 1000% important, to force rotation of people to enable fresh involvement.
    • Term limits should be properly defined -
      • If they can't ever be re-voted that is a problem.
      • Have to take one season off, then can be revoted on?
    • Gradual term limit -
      • The more terms you serve - You require more higher and higher approval levels to stick around.
    • Lucas - Lets see how this plays out?
      • Lets iterate and instead of trying to solve for a problem, lets see what happens?
      • The spec for season 1 - Specifically says to set the half term limit.
        • If we deviate - how do we present that?
          • Discorse vote? - If we need to modify, we should go through the normal process.
        • Maybe we should use snapshot for broader implications of the DAO.
      • Follow the season 1 spec as closely as possible.
  • Need a steward to usher projects to ask for funding
    • Joe has 2 in progress
Action items
Iced to create a poll in the grants committee channel - Grants committee coordinator (Grendel, Joe, Kouros)
Term limit discussion to be ongoing - Grants Committee
Separate call for project proposals and discussion - Kouros
