Very very interesting and innovative motion, both in term of form and content.
on motion’s form
It is an excellent instance of shareholders steering the wheel of marketing and development team. And this I expect to be the future direction of running this as a DAO. There are challenges to overcome and the experiment should be controlled, aka, can’t go from no control to total control in one motion
For instance, I find declaring deadlines a bit odd for (at least) two reasons :
- you do not specify a penalty for not meeting a deadline, nor responsibilities… Who will “pay”, when and how much?
- a distributed group of shareholders cannot be completely aware nor in control of the day-to-day schedule of each member of the team.
Instead of voting on deadlines, I think shareholders should be voting on priorities. For example : “create guidelines before releasing a second video” , or “release the third party integration code before the nubot GUI” are more realistic DAO’s goal.
Before achieving control over anything, however, measurement is required. In our case, that would be a visible priority roadmap, or something similar. We do now have several fragmented roadmaps, that will make any attempt of controlling priorities at least suboptimal.
So maybe I would drop restrictions from this motion, and if anything, I’d do another motion requesting a transparent, standardised, public, overall roadmap .
on motion’s content
The course of action defined in the motion along with its rational makes perfect sense and will likely be a step towards increasing the overall value of this network. I am all for it.
