AIP-323: Authorise Special Council to issue Directives for more efficient DAO administration

SmartAPE · August 24, 2023, 1:58pm

Thanks for putting this AIP together. It’s something that I had already been considering as well.

And you can tell that an attorney wrote it, because it covers all the bases.

ApeForLife:

There is, for example, currently no fixed procedure in place to simply request that additional website links to the other Apecoin ecosystem pages be added to the Apecoin twitter page or to the Discourse page. A proposed AIP is even being discussed currently in Discourse to request a tab for ‘Treasury’ with an updated counter to be added to the website. There is no reason why the AIP process should be utilised over and over again for the most simple of administrative requests and implementations thereof, such as the examples listed above, in fact using the AIP process for it, causes additional congestion in the AIP process and delays consideration of other important AIP’s, that require funding, that have to make use of the AIP process.

Also it is completely inefficient to go through an AIP process of weeks for something that should not require the AIP process, but is merely an administrative improvement and could and should be implemented in less than a week in some cases and would be so implemented in any other administrative environment.

That’s basically the gist of what myself and several others have been saying over and over again. Even the most simple and mundane things - which the Ape Foundation has complete control over - end up in a time-wasting (and usually inconsequential AIP) AIP process.

To my knowledge, this is literally the only DAO that does things this way. And unless I am missing something, nothing in the AIP-1 mandate said things had to be this way.

“The ApeCoin DAO community will have the power to submit proposals, vote on the most exciting and promising ideas, and make them real.”

And it’s precisely why we’re not make much progress on anything detrimental to the prosperity of the DAO.

wow. Really? I think you’re short-changing yourself here; given the sheer amount of work that you’re going to be faced with when EIS start getting submitted. I would have asked for $5K in $APE - minimum.
