I don’t think that proposed committee is relevant here. In recent times two proposals have gone up that have been inaccurate in some way. No shade - this stuff is very complex, and there are lots of moving parts. One was the description, the other was calldata.
It is very apparent that better drafting and verification tooling is needed. We should pay a competent team to build this. Tally are competent, lets pay them.
Whilst I think it is nice to have formal social votes for everything, ultimately we voted in the Metagov stewards to do ‘Metagov stuff’. Yes, lets have a chat about it on the forum and on the working group call but unless the discussion is highly contested I think we should let Metagov use their discretion to just get this done.
I agree with what @Coltron.eth said on the call - Tally have historically provided a great service to ENS, largely unpaid (I believe). Some of the features they are building also have a public good nature in that other DAOs can get value from them. That is to say I don’t think we need to scrimp on every penny - Tally are good people.
Tally likely want some level of financial clarity, but if we as a DAO are clear and transparent with them I do not see an issue. Give them an appropriate amount of money to do the things we need. Assure them, that (assuming they deliver) we will continue to pay them appropriately over time to build features we need.
Delegation of responsibility is vital for the successful operation of an organisation - everyone is incredibly busy. We’ve empowered the Metagov stewards by voting them in. Once we have had the community discussions we should allow them the autonomy to make these decisions.
Personally I don’t want a situation where the Metagov stewards are acting like an insecure partner - constantly seeking the validation of all delegates, over and over, for every decision, for weeks on end.
The only situation that would require further consideration is if there were clear conflicts of interest e.g. If one of the stewards were an investor in Tally. I know Spence wrote this: My Conflict of Interest Pledge as an ENS DAO Steward. I’d like to see the other stewards do something similar.
I’m just going to post this again…
TL;DR
- I think Tally should be funded for things we actually need on a case by case basis by Metagov.
