Thanks for all of your great suggestions @refri. A few thoughts -
The GnosisDAO Governance Summary that goes out biweekly via email and lives here is an attempt to routinely update the community about governance. We also post the summary on Discord. To be honest, we don’t field that many questions about governance on Discord or TG but when they do come up, Mert, Manuel and myself are hopefully providing fruitful answers.
That said, I think there’s a lot more we could do (we being community mods) to bring more transparency from the DAO side. Do you think a DAO Quarterly Report would achieve this? Or a monthly governance roundup that’s posted here on the forum? I think it would be a step in the right direction and a way to address this gap between internal ops and the Gnosis community.
As @auryn_macmillan mentioned, GIP-77 is nearing completion and then it will head to Snapshot. The delegate system has some exciting and unique features. We will make a formal Call for Delegates similar the ENS campaign. @SEEDLatam would you be interested in forming a working group together to get the word out about the GnosisDAO call for stewards?
I also agree that clearly defining the scope for GnosisDAO governance would help to address any confusion regarding what the DAO has control over. Currently, GIPs fall under the ‘meta’ or ‘funding’ category. ‘Meta’ being procedural treasury management proposals like GIP-49, or GIPs about client diversity for Gnosis Chain. GIPs falling under the ‘funding’ category are external teams, often value aligned, who are seeking funding from the DAO.
Community members also post topics to provoke discussion (obviously like this one :)) and, for the most part, there’s not too much engagement. Beyond sending out a biweekly governance summary, I’m wondering how we can re-imagine things to engage each other more. GIP-77 is an attempt to address voter apathy and improve governance generally. As a community member and contributor of the DAO, I’m eager to work on solutions and collectively steward the forum.
