[S15 Proposal - INTEGRATED] FDD Budget Request

[DisruptionJoe]

@epowell101

I’m a big believer in a sure sign of a good org being some people are “disagreeing and committing.” That’s the sense I got from your post which speaks highly IMO both of FDD’s quality and that the overall DAO is making tough decisions (setting aside whether or not they are correct :)).

This is exactly what has happened. We had disagreements, but have committed to alignment with CSDO, the other workstream leads, rather than go our own way. This doesn’t mean the conversation is over though! You can see more of this thinking in public and pushing to sway the overton window here Knowledge Transfer: Characterizing the Sybil Resistance Problem - #6 by DisruptionJoe

There is something particularly magical about rewarding passionate and dedicated contrarians of simple majorities.

@epowell101

I’m super curious about the 4 listed areas and overall the notion of relevant digital public infrastructure.

I think these are the genuine areas of difference of opinion. A couple may be “too early” and others may be misunderstood or poorly explained. Overall, I hope people will understand that we wanted to answer your question honestly, but they shouldn’t over-index on that answer.

I think this part says more about the bigger context story than anything else:

@tigress

We like to highlight that alignment efforts made by other workstreams, especially GPC, since last budget season have made drastic improvements for us in all the mentioned areas. We do feel the results of better communication about these issues.
