Nobody is forcing you to do anything in the first place. I think anyone who has tenure in this project has volunteered their time at one point or another. Compensating person(s) for creating a proposal and because they take the time to push it doesn’t seem feasible. That would mean anyone could just come on to the forum and write up some ridiculous unachievable proposal, go pretend to push the agenda behind it and then expect to get paid.
neiman:
I expect a bit of a more practical response from the MG stewards. Something along the lines of
“At the moment, the MG WG is not interested in working on a second airdrop, so we won’t be able to dedicate the resources to get this data”, or
“The MG WG might be interested to work on a second airdrop, depending on the missing data, contact us for information on how to get it!”, etc.
I can’t imagine anything like this happening without the MG stewards’ support. I also think that if the person does indeed ends up promoting this proposal (with the blessing of the MG stewards), they should be compensated for the effort. Why should we expect anyone to volunteer to do this?
But telling someone who volunteers “heh, you didn’t volunteer enough! work more first!” is not encouraging imo.
All of these points were have been addressed
To even vaguely consider any kind of second airdrop, there’d need to be a clearly defined goal, and a clear explanation of how the airdrop would achieve that goal - and how it would avoid being gamed. None of those are present here, and “getting more people involved” and the like are too vague to be meaningful goals.
Also please be mindful that; right now – in Q12023, an airdrop is not the main focus of the DAO, people are very busy working on projects that have been discussed for months, people are traveling to conferences and networking with other Ethereans. ETH Denver is coming up, the name wrapper is about to launch.
What you are presenting is a much larger project than most of the DAO would care to focus on right now.
That’s my take on it and I think many people would agree with that.
In the meantime if you feel super strong about this, maybe presenting some questions to the forum like this to start…
1.) What incentive to the community will second airdrop provide?
2.) Looking at the first airdrop, what are some challenges that were faced? What was successful?
3.) How many tokens were sold by recipients immediately after? How was the market affected by that?
4.) How many ENS Governance token recipients still have all or percentage of their tokens today?
5.) How many of those who are still holding are actively taking part in governance discussion on forum ?
6.) What percentage of token recipients have voted at least one time in the past year?
7.) What is the incentive for another airdrop ? Why are the tokens wanted?
8.) Will another airdrop stimulate more people to build or will builders who dont receive them feel left out again?
9.) Should a token claim be open to all .eth holders? Or should we look and measure discussion forum
contribution statistics to use as a weighted reference.
After all the token is for the DAO Governance voting and is not by any means a security.
So who would benefit from a drop more? Individuals who are already contribution daily, weekly and for the past year or allowing someone to claim the tokens and then sell them off into the market without considering contributing to DAO
based off what articulate facts?
