Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:
eg — how aggressive should we be in liquidity mining, what is the goal of the DAO?

Active on the Arbitrum blockchain for over a year it’s plain to see the Arbitrum team’s main focus has been the long term scalability of the Ethereum ecosystem. It’s been a privilege to watch a team engage with the community, build trust, and continuously deliver a product focused on the user, security, governance, and fostering innovation. I believe liquidity mining is a necessary evil to maintain the focus of our community past governance. Governance is not cool to the majority of the world, hell it even sounds like government. Until more users become active in a DAO community and truly see the power it wields, we will need to find alternative paths to keep our community engaged.

Please share your stance on issues that were raised previously, in other communities, as described below:

Uniswap Prompts to Answer:

1. How would you vote?

Against

2. What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?

Flipside has a clear approach and audience for obtaining new users, I would suggest outlining a clear budget for the year/years for onboarding users and assign strategies for each of the platforms in the running for funding. Then open the discussion up within commonwealth/tally to the entire community about the approaches each platform will be utilizing to onboard more users.

Winning strategies bring budgets as well as a KPI reporting strategy to be able to prove results quarterly to the DAO.

Budgets are revisited quarterly.

3. How would you approach the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done?

Truth be told all missions align here, all the platforms want funding and UNI needs users. If the strategy for onboarding is carefully executed and monitored, then quickly scrapped and moved on to the next if not working, we will all be yielding new users to each of our platforms quickly. The authority should all be in agreement, the budget management should take care of the centralized authority issue.

Rari Prompts to Answer:

Outside the flipping of the vote, how would you choose to handle this situation?
i.e should parties be reimbursed for an exploit or not? (Please choose one of the below options and then elaborate upon your reasoning)

1. Full Reimbursement

For the long term success of web3 and crypto our user base needs to feel safe. We are still in wild times, the network state of the Ethereum ecosystem will continue to evolve for years to come which will make outward facing security issues a constant battle. Making our users whole whenever the option is available, should be taken. Period. The End.
