I see myself as a visitor to the community, so I hope everyone takes my opinion with a grain of salt. That being said, I love the idea of subDAOs.
I’m new to DAOs but familiar with writing about decentralized governance in “real life” (e.g. Bookchin, Zibechi, Ocallan), and these authors tend to stress that decentralized governance is powerful precisely because it allows for flexibly recognizing sub-groups, overlappnig groups, etc. They argue that this type of flexibility ends up letting communities make better decisions (I think this is also a big theme of the recent buzz about plurality). So I’m very much in favor of trying to implement a framework for that type of flexible recognition.
BTW, @borisdyakov, if you have time, I’d love to chat more about the DeSci rounds – it might be very helpful for the research I’m currently doing at Gitcoin. I’ll DM you on twitter.
