@cmrn thank you for the ping.
With centralization you gain speed, with decentralization you gain the wisdom of crowds. Grants teams need someone to talk to help structure incentives correctly based on DAO needs. Identifying the initial set of partners and initiatives will take trial and error until clear criteria emerge. For the first couple initiatives we will bring back to the DAO to help create a process to evaluate while testing the effects and learning from campaigns. What we bring are initiatives and potential deals. We will help define deal shape & structure and bring back to the DAO for vote.
For more context on the tweet. There are at least 195 jurisdictions globally each with their own laws and regulations. Currently the way people vote in DAOs is processed through a filter by where the voter is physically located.
Sometimes not what is best for the DAO.
On at least 3 occasions we have had to squash campaigns(grants, funding, marketing) based on regulatory risk and not the merit of the campaign.
We have taken steps and will continue as an collective to limit this risk.
I believe the future of DeFi is to be funded by those that are not beholden to certain jurisdictions.
