Please share your stance on overall goals for the DAO:

• Eric: The guiding pricinple of Layer 2 DAO governance should be that the ideals and ethos that made Ethereum successful must be preserved in its upper layers. If they are not preserved in the upper layers, and Layer 2s become the gravitational center for transactions, the soul of Ethereum will be lost. The goal of Layer 2 DAOs is to strike a balance between growth+success and ethos+spirit.

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

Sample Voting Issue 1:

1. How would you vote?

• Eric: Against

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

• Eric: The proposal should include a Bounty Committee that is represented by a broad range of community participants. Alternatively, there should be programmatic controls on how many bounties the original committee should be able to allocate in a day and UNI holders should be able to terminate the bounty program via vote.

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

• Eric: It’s always a balance. It’s perfectly acceptable to elect centralized committees to ensure progress but have their powers limited in scope and revokable by the larger community.

Sample Voting Issue 2:

1. Eric: Full Reimbursement

• Eric: A vote was passed to reimburse victims. There was nothing material that had changed in that timespan that prompted the need for a new vote. You should not allow to constantly re-vote on things until a specific coalition reaches a desired outcome by wearing out the opposition.
