The Steward Council - Formation & Mandate

[DisruptionJoe]

I am not entirely sure on a few pieces which I’d like to clarify:

@Pop

The 120 day cadence matches the quarterly cadence of the Gitcoin DAO calendar and offers a great opportunity to reflect, expand and amplify the mission of GD. Cadence as follows:

It seems like seasons are approximately 90 days. Is 120 intentional?

@Pop

Steward council mandate:

• Keeping a ‘docket’ of ongoing proposals / their current status
• Ensure proposals follow template(s) / creating any necessary adjustments to template(s)
• Participating in active discussion around proposals, timely voting
• Availability for Tally proposal creation and ratification once a proposal has passed Snapshot
• Participation in a council call that will be scheduled halfway between the monthly steward call (aka every two weeks) for better alignment & broader DAO strategy discussion.
• Consult on workstream performance/workstream leads’ milestone progress - address any workstream issues that may occur within a season

This doesn’t delegate authority to anyone to be directly responsible for getting these things done. It would make more sense to me for the budget to be used to fund a squad with a designated owner of the outcome of getting all these things done. The council would then vote on which outcomes and who would own them.

This seems like better use of the funds than simply rewarding council members.

I do see the need to reimburse for gas fees used when voting though. I could see this group passing an outcome like “All voters who vote on 50% or more issues with over x amount delegated to them will receive reimbursements for their voting gas fees”. This council would elect an outcome owner who would then create a budget for getting this done that the council would then pass.

Open to ideas… starting the discussion before it moves forward!
