Introduction:
I will be stepping down from my Community Council duties at the end of the month due to personal commitments, including my full-time job and caring for two six-month-old babies. Balancing these responsibilities with the schedule of two weekly Council meetings has become overly stressful, and I have concluded that continuing in this role is not feasible any longer.
Proposal Overview:
Instead of replacing me with another nominee, I propose that the DAO reallocates the $4,500 I would have earned the 3 months of this Epoch as a Council member to the Moderators, who recently experienced a 50% pay decrease. This reallocation would recognize their invaluable contributions and help maintain the high standards of our community.
Detailed Plan:
-
Reallocation of Funds:
- The $4,500 earmarked for my Council compensation will be redirected to the Moderators.
- This amount will be distributed among the Moderators to partially offset their recent pay reduction.
-
Council Composition:
- The Community Council will temporarily operate with four members instead of five.
- This reduction in Council size means that proposals will require a majority vote of 3-1 to pass.
-
Impact on Proposal Voting:
- A 3-1 majority vote will ensure that only well-supported proposals are approved.
- If a proposal fails to achieve this majority, it should be reconsidered, rewritten, or declined, ensuring that only robust and widely supported initiatives move forward.
Benefits:
- Support for Moderators: Recognizing and rewarding our Moderators, who are among the best in the crypto/web3 space, will boost morale and maintain the high quality of community management.
- Cost Efficiency: Reallocating funds instead of adding a new Council member ensures efficient use of DAO resources.
*Conclusion
This proposal seeks to reallocate my Council compensation to our dedicated Moderators, providing them with much-deserved financial support.
