Thanks for sharing, Nick.
I’m on board with this approach.
There are essentially two decisions here:
- What to do about eth.link.
- Reimbursing ENS Labs for legal costs.
To ensure fairness in the DAO’s decision-making, I’d be in favor of not tying one decision to the other.
Personally, I support taking care of ENS Labs for their efforts, although it would’ve been better to decide this sooner. I suppose there were necessary reasons for the delay, like confidential information or ongoing negotiations.
As for eth.link: Sure, it’s a valuable domain. But considering ENS Labs already has eth.page and eth.limo is doing well, it raises questions about rewarding questionable behavior from Manifold Finance.
Thanks again for bringing this up.
