Hello SpikeWatanbe.eth, while I agree that the Merchandise initiative should be re-evaluated and recognize that its momentum has waned, the reality is that there simply hasn’t been enough demand to prioritize it over other projects which require the stewards’ immediate oversight.
As a Meta-Governance steward, this specific initiative falls outside my purview. However, I invite the Ecosystem Working Group to weigh in and decide whether the Merchandise initiative merits their immediate management effort for further review.
Alternatively, anyone who identifies a need may author a Request for Proposal (RFP) and post it as a discussion thread in the forum. Stewards assess the RFP and decide whether to adopt it based on its immediate and relative value to the DAO. You may review the RFP Process in the Governance Docs.
