It goes without saying that no discretionary monetary value should be given by the stewards to themselves (or to the developers and/or contributors for that matter). A better solution might be that the DAO delegates (not transfers!) a larger number of tokens to stewards and contributors through a special contract. Instead of giving each 5,000 $ENS (which is meaningless voting power but significant monetary value), delegate to them 50,000 $ENS tokens in pure voting power instead. Isn’t the justification for this token allocation voting power in the end? If I was given 5,000 $ENS as steward/contributor/developer, it’s not really adding to my voting power but it is good money to buy a tiny condo on the beach. Those are some really misaligned incentives.
