Goals for Arbitrum DAO:

1. Security: Remove all “training wheels” from the Arbitrum sequencer and all protocol functions. It’s important that now with the inception of the DAO that there is little permissioned access to the protocol but functions on top of it remain editable.

2. Increase adoption: Ethereum scales through optimistic rollups and Arbitrum being the most secure and functional rollup today remains the priority after security.

3. Cater to builders who use Arbitrum as their home. The best way to foster a community is to support the people who build the infrastructure for everyone. We need to ensure Arbitrum remains an attractive place for innovators to explore.

Sample Voting Issue 1:

• Uniswap planned to use Flipside to attract new users to Uniswap through bounties. Although the program outline and funding was fine, the proposal was contentious because it gave Flipside crypto too much control over allocating UNI to bounties and oversight of the entire program.
• For instance, Flipside had 3/7 seats on the allocation committee and 1/3 seats on the Oversight committee. There was also concern since none of the other analytics service providers were involved in the proposal.
• This proposal flew under the radar but at the 11th hour got very heated. Large votes from university clubs supported the proposal since they would get a seat on the allocation committee. However, Dune and Leshner spoke up about the issue because of the centralization of power and favor of one service provider.

Prompts to Answer:

1. How would you vote?
   Against

2. What amendments would you make to the proposal if any?
   I would propose to reduce the number of seats to 1/7 and request comment from the other service providers

3. How would you approach the tradeoff between centralization of authority and the ability to get things done?
   By design, DAOs are large, slow, and inefficient. Because of this, Arbitrum DAO should have a limited scope of influence, but have it govern the most important parts of the protocol (sequencer, multisig, etc.) Centraliztion for the purpose of accomplishing goals with defined budgets and time horizons are how I would vote to spend resources.

Sample Voting Issue 2:

Full Reimbursement

In the event of losing another individuals funds, measures should be taken to fullest extent to refund those who lost funds. When not enough treasury funds are available. Funds should be reserved for wind up fees (open-sourcing work, final payments, etc.) and a partial reimbursement issued.
