Do we need this forum and what for?

This is a big question that I think we’d need to put some more dedicated time toward to answer well.

But the immediate thing I’d like to do is get the split and transitive delegation work that we’ve been working on into the Gnosis DAO (GIP-77) and then coordinate campaign to encourage GNO holders to set their delegations.

Beyond that, my intuition is that it’s likely not clear to most people what things are in scope for governance; what things the GnosisDAO actually has control over. Partially because of the breadth of Gnosis as an ecosystem and partially because most decision making has been explicitly or implicitly delegated to Gnosis Ltd (or other entities in the Gnosis ecosystem).

To be clear, delegating this kind of decision making isn’t necessarily a bad thing (delegation is necessary to operate efficiently), so long as it’s a conscious decision by the DAO, and one that it can change later.

Perhaps a good first step, that would be beneficial to the community, is to clearly disambiguate GnosisDAO and Gnosis Ltd, and to clearly define the relationship and responsibilities between the two (or more) entities.
