I’ve listened to most of the Alisha twitter space yesterday and while I understand the pov opposing brantly I still think we haven’t given him the freedom of expression and the chance to apologize, neither have we considered other alternative solutions like sanctions and punishments instead of radical termination.
So the way it is now, if the proposal has only the Yes/No options, I might lean towards No. Not because I agree with him, but because of the short-sightedness of this proposal and the lack of responsability. None of you have come up with alternatives or seriously considered the aftermath of this decision on ENS.
Please discuss this thoroughly before taking terminal decisions. Drastic decisions that are pushed by people that have absolutely no skin in ENS who will get what they want and never contribute here again, are not decisions that I will personally stand behind.
In that case please modify the topic to reflect this. As @matoken.eth already mentioned the role you want to remove him from is the one he was fired from TNL.
The topic should reflect that this is for his role as Director for the DAO.
I feel like preserving the historical context of this debate is imperative to the future understanding of researchers and ecosystem participants.
With that said, can we not host the audio on Dropbox and instead use a permanent storage solution like Arweave or IPFS (who will pin?)?
People will look back at this in the future and it’s critical they have the full context, as many place more weight on the 2022 response than the 2016-2018 tweets. Dropbox does not offer permanent censorship-resistant storage.
I cannot access the audio without making a Dropbox account. Fewer than ~0.25% of people worldwide have a paid Dropbox account.
@cory.eth@lefterisjp Draft has been updated to reflect the role correctly. Recording has been put on ArDrive and IPFS. I recommend IPFS fans to pin the CID.
Can someone put a date and time on the space’s recording? I am confused as to how many spaces there were on this and when that particular one was. Also would be helpful to know whose voices it is we are hearing, apart from Brantly.
The DAO holds hiring and firing powers over Foundation directors. It could vote to dismiss Brantly directly, but I think it would be much safer and more responsible to appoint a replacement instead. The logical way to do this would be with a process where people can nominate themselves, and then a Snapshot vote can be taken to elect someone. I’m happy to chat with anyone considering the position about the day-to-day responsibilities (minimal), risks (likely minimal but hard to characterise) and the compensation (minimal, unless the DAO decides otherwise).
Would it be possible for TNL to formalise the process of nomination by issuing a small summary about
the position about the day-to-day responsibilities (minimal), risks (likely minimal but hard to characterise) and the compensation (minimal, unless the DAO decides otherwise).
in a forum post? With that as basis, the DAO can open a nomination window (with strict formal criteria to avoid spamming). This will allow an easy election by vote similar to the election of Stewards. I am happy to help with handling the nominations under full disclosure and without conflict of interest.
I’d like to echo Nick’s proposal as well to find a replacement first.
Thank you Nick for the document. This must be a heartbreaking time for you with no easy options. I personally appreciate you acting with grace and resolve through all of this, and I’m sure the community does as well.
@spencecoin@nick.eth@codemonkey I have updates the draft to reflect that the proposal is now to replace Brantly instead of simply terminating him. Comments are welcome if any.
