Love this thread!
Tempted to share more, will double down on a few raised by the community-
-
Excited to get a glimpse of socket and the RFP process. If bounty is working, why break something that is working!
-
COLA will be tough to implement for individuals. Should be explored for domiciled companies in the RFP process.
-
Feel appointed individual (from the PNF) or a committee is the way to go, similar to a “representative democracy” instead of “direct democracy” for each and every decision. The latter may not be scalable.
-
Budgeting the DAO treasury could be explored; budget allocated to compensation broken down into subcategories such as R&D, RFPs, bounties, abstract projects/innovations, etc. Helps build structure and do better treasury management.
Didn’t see it in the PNF Roadmap. Maybe @Dermot can guide.
- Hiring full time employees for the DAO appears debatable but what about proactive annual/quarterly planning of where DAO needs to spend, budget and then seek out resources (from the community or outside). Take a proactive approach instead of reactive and passive.
#4 and #5 are related.
-
POKT Samaritans can be rewarded quarterly for great community service- chosen by the “representative individual or body”.
-
As a newcomer/quasi outsider, I see subjectivity, non-standardisation, emotions, politics (possibly) in the funding related posts (not all). While those may not be totally avoidable, how can we move the needle towards structure, standardisation and objectivity.
-
They key word is “meritocracy;” I suggest it be embraced as one of the core values.
Wondering what the next steps are @Jinx (since you created this post) & @b3n . Or maybe @shane.
Wait for socket, RFP process, DNA results to unfold?
I think there is soft consensus around changes (wherever needed) and putting harder structures in place.
