You need order and some form of hierarchy/organisation for a DAO to be successful. Otherwise it’s very difficult to coordinate and it’s pure chaos. People start to contribute, expecting to receive something in return, which may not be the case if they didn’t apply for a grant in the first place. It’s very complicated to set expectations if there are no kind of structure.
So I agree with gambo, these kind of reimbursement proposals set a bad precedent for the DAO.
It’s to be expected in the beginning while the DAO find the proper structure to operate but it shouldn’t become the norm.
We’ve experienced these exact problems in the PoolTogether DAO and after letting things run without much structure for about a year and a half, we’ve decided to work on an organisation that would allow contributors to join a team and be remunerated part time.
Teams will propose a budget each quarter and POOL token holders will vote on these proposals.
So from my experience, a proper organisational structure should be established as soon as possible.
