Provisional views on live topics:
Proposal: GIP-106
Vote: Leaning Against
Reasoning: As commented by Gnosis core, it is right that efforts should be made to prevent exploitation of reward programs and close gaps in the original spec. Though changes can undermine trust in the DAO, this does not necessitate returning to an old policy with obvious gaps. The same withdrawal address point is a narrow loophole affecting a small number. It should have been better designed in the first place, but clearly now aims to avoid sophisticated actors claiming an outsized proportion of the results. We tend agree that the policy objectives, network and DAO are better served by the revised terms, despite the reputational risk that the change carries.
Proposal: GIP-108
Vote: Against
Reasoning: By contrast with GIP-106, this GIP aims to challenge the change in reward value among all recipients. As with core team comments on GIP-106, we lean towards correct a flawed and unhelpful original spec as a better outcome for the policy objectives, network and DAO, despite the reputational risk. We did however express our sympathies for those affected by the changes, even though we support the ultimate goal of the changes.
