I agree with all of your thoughts here. I also want to highlight the following:
I look at this proposal as āaddressing the opportunityā rather than thinking of how much it would ācostā the DAO. And the opportunity is big, especially since the criteria for eligible projects is well defined by AvsA in his proposal above.
I agree. It is rather important for ENS DAO, ENS Labs, contributors to implement using ENS Domains in all aspects of ENS matters. Given the the recent reflection regarding the DAO and Working Groups previous and ongoing expenditures; we should consider using ENS Names in every payment officially affiliated.
This would include using subdomains as labeling identifiers for outbound payments.
Requiring all official wallets to be properly labeled. Iām not sure who is in control, where they are located or what names the DAO controls. I think itās important to create a master list of all name and addresses.
All assets shouldto be identified and indexed.
what the asset is (mainly wallets)
those who have been granted authority, i,e, authorizers, approvers, reviewers et al.
a schedule of when granted authority will (or may) change due to election or assigned position changes.
I think I was the only proposal in the last Grant round that actually utilised subdomains and even a sub sub domain in which I nominated for any potential pay funding.
And also the key term amongst all of this debate needs to be highlighted that:
Investing > Spending
For example, Nick himself asked Vitalik for funding for ENSā¦i for one at pretty certain that Vitalik new that he was investing in the future of Ethereum. So perhaps this needs to be the mindset of more delegates moving forward.
Guarding the keys/vaults to this virtual castle for too long isnāt going to get us very farā¦in a world whereby we vouch for pure trust-less decentralisation, we cannot forget the moments ātrustā and belief in people doing the right thing.
Like a farmer who has no access to water for his crop until the owner of the dam upstream releases the supply, much the same is for the builders and creative innovators in the barren sand Pitt of Web3.
Donāt be the guy who thinks the dam was built all by itselfā¦
