2. General DAO Updates Section

2.1. Live proposals

  • ETH Limo legal fees reimbursement Proposal is live.

2.2. Syndicate ($SYND) Airdrop

  • Syndicate (https://syndicate.io/) airdropped their tokens to many reputable Web3 projects and communities, and ENS was one of them.
  • A discussion was held around whether or not participation in governance in other ecosystems should be done.
  • A similar instance was $SAFE tokens being delegated to the MetaGov wallet.
  • However, there hasn’t been much interest from the ENS DAO community in how MetaGov should vote in Safe proposals with these delegated tokens.
  • Delegating to a working group is considered the right approach, and MetaGov seems like a good fit for the safe tokens.
  • Managing context, overhead, and political situations is highlighted.
  • Uniswap has a working group that handles meta-governance on Arbitrum, which could be an interesting example to follow.
  • Delegation could be given to a new working group or handled by the existing MetaGov working group.
  • If the DAO wants to vote with the delegated tokens, input from the DAO is needed, and MetaGov is currently best suited for this.
  • A clear process should be established for how ENS can participate in votes in other DAOs.
  • Small discussion + a temp check around this would be great to have on a forum. @cap @estmcmxci
  • Proposals in other DAOs typically have a limited timeframe (e.g., seven days), making it difficult to gather input and form an opinion.
  • There are concerns about pushing voting decisions to a smaller group without broader DAO input.
  • The SPK airdrop claim is coming, and the SPK token may have governance.

3. Open discussion

3.1. Organizational Metadata Update

  • Collab with Ethereum Foundation.
  • One new idea: Counterparty Verification
    • Being able to verify that someone is a representative of a particular DAO would be powerful.

  • Updates are posted on the forum.

3.2. New Tools

  • A tool was created over the weekend to explore different ways to name contracts and use domains.
  • The tool also explores different resolvers onchain.
