Thanks again. To be clear then, are those elections you mentioned 1-time only for initial appointments or are they recurring⌠meaning a given Working Group Steward is up for (re)election every year?
IRL âterm limitâ means youâre done, not up for re-election, btw.
Thanks also re: process proposal. Iâve read all this stuff before, and recently more than once, AND Iâve gotta say itâs not always clear whatâs referring to what or in which scenario. Iâm far from dumb, and work daily with fancy legal, regulatory and financial terms, so if I find this dense âŚmaybe itâs just me.
So a process proposal to remove a Working Group Steward is only something thatâd be necessary in-between the (if I understand correctly) 1-year term limit before re-election?
The DAO cannot act as an oversight body. In spirit, yes, but thatâs not what true oversight is - especially when huge budgets are involved - and I expect Stewards would know this. Why not pay a qualified auditor, former regulator, or ethics lawyer to suggest proper oversight?
I type all this with sincere respect and gratitude for what you and the other Stewards have done so far, and with the DAOâs best interests at heart.
It shouldnât be left up to maybe-informed voters, who may be qualified to judge, to âfeelâ whether self-reported items and budgets were abused (by which time itâs already done), of âfeelâ whether ethics were violated, much less to try to figure that out via scattered Spaces, servers, boards, hearsay, etc. and then âfeelâ like making waves during a heated popularity contest and to adjust public votes which could get all get negated by a single whale (and Stewards will soon be whales, if not already), etc.
Thatâs literally the exact system under which every major abuse of power or budgets happens IRL. We couldnât come up with a worse system, other than no system at all.
It should have proper oversight, and clear reporting by qualified neutral 3rd parties.
