Thank you always for your thoughtful contributions around here, Mr. Hype.
At this point it may not be appropriate for me to comment, however, I do believe these are good questions for the community to ponder as they make their decision.
Certainly we are open to feedback during this period. We are taking all discussions and DMs into consideration for the final draft.
appreciate those that are providing constructive feedback and support.
Hi @BoredApeG ,
Your topic would be moving to the AIP Draft phase in less than 24 hours. Are you content with the feedback received or do you wish to extend community discussion for another 7 days?
If we do not hear from you within 48 hours after your topic closes, your topic will be moved straight to the AIP Draft process.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi @BoredApeG ,
Thank you for your ideas [and the ApeCoin DAO community for the insightful discussions]. A moderator will reach out to the author to finalize the AIP Draft using the appropriate template. In accordance with DAO-approved guidelines, if the author doesnāt respond within 30 days, the proposal will be automatically transferred to the Withdrawn category, and the author can re-submit the idea. Once the AIP is Drafted and meets all DAO-approved guidelines, it will be published on Snapshot for the official live voting phase at: Snapshot.

Constructive criticism:
Change option 3 to $150K.
Reasoning:
Makes no sense to rehash what we are already voting on.
If we do or do not vote through AIP-337, why would you offer the exact same choice again?
Makes absolutely zero sense to me. To make it make sense you must either decrease or increase option 3 - $125K seemed a little aggressive (as Iāve mentioned before), so imo we go up to $150K.
Tl;dr - Due to AIP-337, option 3 is N/A going forward now, so needs changing.
Hi @BoredApeG, Happy Friday!
Thank you for submitting this AIP. As per our chat yesterday (which I enjoyed!) Iāll also echo my thoughts here:
This should be the primary focus: Working towards a method of attracting top talent by means other than a popularity contest (and I say this with no intention to offend anybody who currently sits on the council), taking into consideration demonstrated experience, qualifications, and whoās motivation comes from their desire to improve the DAO, over their salary.
If the salary dropped, and the demand to be an SC member also dropped, then it would be a clear indicator that their primary motive for getting involved was financial, and they shouldnāt be there initially.
I appreciate the opportunity but donāt think giving possible payment options is sufficient. I would prefer a discussion to a poll, and I donāt think any of those options work. To go by means of selecting out of pre-defined options, as a member of the community, Iād feel isolated and limited in my input.
If weāre going down the payment options route, then Iād suggest amending the AIP proposal to include Option 5: None of the above (re-think the whole thing)
I think it should all be done in $APE. Furthermore I donāt believe the amount of $APE given should vary depending on its value at the given time. If itās about the money, do the whole thing in USDC and leave $APE out of it. If itās $APE, then itās $APE and whatever $APE is worth at the time.
Iām conscious my notes here emphasised the suggestion that were it not for the generous salary, the desire to be on SC would drop, but I donāt think it should be overlooked because I donāt think thatās the type of person we need in the SC. This is why I believe that as well as tackling this payment structure, we should focus (if not more) on attracting talent and scrutinising the application process.
I donāt have the solution, but respectfully, I also donāt believe itās any of the options suggested in this AIP.

Hi ApeCoin DAO Community,
@BoredApeG has responded to our questions and has provided consent to share them in this forum for the community.
Correct
Yes
A DAR package is being worked on and upon completion this AIP will move into Administrative Review. Follow this Topic as further updates will be posted here in the comments.
Kind Regards,
Itās looking like AIP-337 is going to pass. What happens to this AIP in that circumstance?
It will not be able to go up to vote for 3 months. The intention behind this AIP was to give the community more options than simply choosing a single arbitrary number.

Hi ApeCoin DAO Community,
We have no further questions for @BoredApeG . This AIP is now under Administrative Review.

I believe that the payment structure should be target/task/milestone-based.
If we all vote for a milestone that the council has to achieve, then it will be a fair game for all. The council will push the members, the members will actively participate. Win-win for all.
Seems like I got late. All the best, GC members. May the best decision for the community win. 
Let the games begin !!!
This proposal is live for Snapshot vote at Snapshot. The voting period closes next Wednesday at 9PM EST.

Hi ApeCoin DAO Community,
