How should I change my delegations? [Q2 2022]

[shawn16400]

I will summarize the key points as I see them, focusing on the centralization question.

@owocki

As you can see, currently…

• 50% of my voting power is concentrated in my top 4 delegates.

• Our current state of centralization is by your design.

@owocki

and a quarter later here

@owocki

• because of my disaffiliation i am not aware of what up & coming talent there is in the DAO. thus far i’ve not been getting a ton of inbound on this form so my plan to decentralize my delegations is somewhat stalled.

• The DAO has not engaged, pushed, or prioritized using your GTC to continue decentralization further, so decentralization has stalled.

@owocki

My view is that the lack of protocol/market fit + lack of sustainability of Gitcoin are larger and more imminent threats.

• Adjusting the current state is not a priority at this time.

@owocki

And even if I could understand the progress, the workstreams are relatively ungovernable because they are large, centralized, monolithic, and there is no alternative to each workstreams governance proposal each quarter.

• Interesting, this could be solved by moving to a PMO (project management office) design where budgets are approved (by voters) by project+milestones vs. by function+period. Without an org. redesign.

@owocki

Because of this, most of my delegates are insiders who can understand the nuances of each proposal.

• Helpful, we can use this when challenged on the forum about insiders making decisions.

So - let’s get a temp check: lets assume >15 responses is significant.
Readers, please let us know in this anonymous poll - what do you think about decentralizing our current DAO Governance.

• 1. Decentralization is not a priority for Season 17
• 2. I am unsure or undecided or have no opinion
• 3. Decentralization is a priority, and should be worked in Season 17
