Trial run a Technical Advisory Board (TAB)

Thanks for the feedback @Doo_StableLab @Juanbug

We acknowledge that establishing a TAB introduces some organizational complexity. However, this structure is designed to balance the need for consistent, high-quality technical input with the practical challenges of engaging busy developers, ensuring the DAO benefits from both expertise and governance fluency. The UF has tested direct delegation to technical teams like Scopelift and Atrium, but only Scopelift remains active. Our discussions with developers revealed that most lack the time or governance expertise to participate consistently, as they juggle full-time roles at their companies. Most successful participants of the ‘Delegate incentive program’ have a full-time role focused on governance, which allows them to gain expertise over governance as a broader topic and adhere to time sensitive nature of the governance process.

The TAB team setup enables members to support one another, maintaining consistent input despite external commitments and the participation of a PD enables smooth onboarding and understanding of the governance process. Additionally, this group is also tasked with increasing the technical awareness of the larger delegate cohort, which delegate incentive programs have not identified how to successfully perform. Unlike individual delegations, which risk fragmented decision-making, the TAB provides coordinated advice and accountability. A unified TAB ensures coordinated input and accountability, streamlining technical advice to the DAO

The budget reflects the extensive work required, including technical evaluations, governance participation, and community education efforts. We along with the UF have spoken with many builders, devs, and security experts, to assist the community in identifying the best talent out there and it is ultimately the community who will decide whether or not to accept this group.
