Is that a rhetorical question?
Afaik the work that DAO Ops does won’t get done and the people that work in DAO Ops will lose their jobs.
I agree with the overall point that the DAO needs to be reviewing and renewing itself.
I don’t agree with the idea that we should just pull the pin and see what happens. What we know about what will happen isn’t good for the people involved or the work that they are doing. That’s assuming that Stewards voting no would actually result in a rework of the proposal that was directionally equal to limiting or even ending DAO Ops. Maybe that’s your question?
Overall I continue to feel as I did in the “Over our skis” post from November - it would be useful to be focused on finding product market fit and to adjust accordingly.
Today we have some signs that we are getting there - which is great. And arguably the split of GPC into two smaller workstreams may help accelerate the feedback loop to get there.
That said - we don’t yet have proof or the related predictability that would give us all I think a little more confidence that we should continue to spend.
I cannot point at a burn-down chart afaik from either product workstream for example - although DevRel and others’ efforts are increasing that transparency. Similarly, we don’t see quite yet an end-to-end view of where users come from and how they drop off - although I believe there was some analysis of where users drop off in an internal meeting this week, which is progress.
And the dashboard that DAO Ops says they will be working on this quarter - we should already have it, assuming "it’ is along the lines of what has been discussed elsewhere.
And - maybe most importantly - when chatting w/ a workstream lead yesterday we discussed that we don’t yet have GTC utility or revenues. Again, it sounds like from comments by @kyle in this week’s steward call we are getting there. Without that, we don’t have arguably the most important metric or at least a clear north star metric.
In short - rather than YOLO voting no - I would suggest we engage with the workstreams to help them work towards product market fit and, importantly, proof of product-market fit where that should include GTC utility / revenues. I actually think there are signs that we are getting there including the very successful recent Unicef round and much else. While I am all for fiscal discipline, I’d argue that we shouldn’t just pull the pin.
Lastly - I sort of don’t grok the comment
there was an opportunity to reorganize the DAO to make it more efficient and this for some reason failed.
The DAO is splitting one of the 5 workstreams into 2 and transitioning another - FDD - out of existence. And of course, Moonshot was recently integrated into GPC. So by the end of this season, 3/6 of the workstreams from last Fall will have been reorganized - and at least DAO Ops (and I believe MMM as well) are each indicating they are preparing for an upcoming slimming down, the shifting of team members into product-focused workstreams, and so on. In short - the reorg is happening, with FDD acting as asomewhat as a canary in the coal mine this season.
Sorry for the length of the response - I ran out of time editing.
