For sure, creating more transparency and public decision-making is definitely needed and something we’re hoping to address with this proposal.
Gnosis Guild is an independent entity with GnosisDAO as the largest stakeholder (20%). Karpatkey, Gnosis Guild, along with Safe and CoW, are all spinouts of GnosisDAO. There is certainly overlap, but each of these entities has its own governance and decision process. @ernst’s Gnosis 3.0 post gives a good overview of the current structure of Gnosis. Our proposal is focused on GnosisDAO, which is governed solely by GNO holders and allocates the Gnosis treasury.
