Conviction Voting and I
this post big time. Love this form of inter-DAO suggesting thru the forum!
As a Commons Stacker, I’ve spent a lot of time with CV (and Jeff and Jess!) and I agree that it’s:
- a necessary piece of the DAO tooling stack
- full of potential to liberate society from ills of static voting
- capable of increasing legitimacy & engagement in Gitcoin Steward voting
This last point I see as the major benefit to Gitcoin’s mission. So we must investigate it
1 concern is that the type of decisions that are ideal for CV (long game strategic/organizational direction decisions) might not match the type of decisions that Gitcoin Stewards vote on (regularly scheduled, short interval budgetary/steering decisions). It’s possible that CV could change the way stewards vote, could change the way Workstreams propose. But it’s also possible that the types of proposals & mode of interacting with them would be too disparate and CV would gather dust living in Gitcoin’s governance system. I’m curious to hear what @Pop thinks as steward engagement is truly her domain.
Knowing where Gitcoin & Moonshot Collective are at, I don’t see us being focused on providing DAO tooling in the near future. It’s not a major mandate of Gitcoin’s mission. So in order to find alignment to put development work towards this we’d need to see why building chain-agnostic Conviction Voting helps serve the mission of Gitcoin (which is to provide Public Goods Funding infrastructure) thru achieving our current OKRs: 2022 Roadmap & 2022 Goals
