1. Weekly Endowment Updates - @kpk + @Steakhouse

2. ENS Retro next steps

  • Eugene is working on the proposal, aiming to post on the forum soon.
  • Timeline concerns:
    • Hoping to get it onchain quickly.
    • Avoid having a vote live during Christmas.
    • Ensure Eugene’s post has enough time on the forum before on-chain vote.
  • Collect feedback from the community regarding the intent of the retro.
    • Post feedback on the forum.
  • Vote Timing Options
    • Option 1: Rush the vote to be before Christmas.
    • Option 2: Have the vote in the first week of January for more time
  • Pushing onchain vote for the retro in the first week of January could make it less rushed.

3. Collective Working Group Funding discussion

  • Tactical items need clarification: stewards, terms, comp.
  • Nick suggested removing comp from the executable.
  • There’s half a million dollars in working group wallets
  • Social proposal could clarify stewardship
    • Temp check: Continue paying stewards at the same rate
    • Constitution states there need to be three signers and one secretary
  • Need clarity on whether all nine stewards will continue into January
  • Break into 2 proposals:
      1. Retro proposal: clarify, fund, execute in January.
      1. Stewards and working groups proposal: clarify, fund, execute, but start with a temp check to clarify stewards, roles, dates, funding, and move onchain after.

4. KPK Permissions Update (is live onchain)

5. Open Discussion

  • Thomas wrote a post about the current state of the DAO to open a conversation, but there hasn’t been much participation on the forum.
  • There is little engagement with the ENS forum and ecosystem in general
  • There are tradeoff between decentralized organizations and traditional organizations
  • It is important to optimize for decentralization in DAOs.
  • It’s difficult to comment on how to make things more efficient without clarity from ENS labs on the technical development of the protocol.
  • Those being paid who are not participating is not good.
  • The timing of the post may not have been ideal due to other events happening.
  • OpCo proposal suggests full-time paid people with aligned incentives to represent the DAO.
  • Contributors are acting on behalf of the DAO, assuming support unless explicitly opposed.
