Given the need for Optimism governance to make good technical decisions, the Foundation is proposing the establishment of a Developer Advisory Board to assess Missions and grant milestones under Intent #1. The Foundation proposes an initial budget of 12,500 OP per Advisory Board Member (excluding the OP Labs representative and a DAB member who will forego their tokens) and 20,000 OP for the Advisory Board Lead, for a total budget of 70,000 OP to be dispersed out of the Governance Fund at the end of Season 5.

This proposal is eligible for Special Voting Cycle #16a: https://gov.optimism.io/t/developer-advisory-board/6892
