The Compensation Pod would like to formally propose that we use a Single Giving Circle, instead of Multiple Giving Circles, for Season 2 to compensate contributors to DAO Masters.
Context on Single vs Multiple Circles by NelsonJ | Closer:
Our suggestion for a 'Single Giving Circle' as the best choice for Season 2
What are the variables we're optimizing for:
- Can we make sure people in Season 2 get properly compensated
- How many contributors do we have and does a Single circle make more sense vs Multiple
- How much time do we have to properly setup a Multiple Giving Circle
Thought process:
- We're a few weeks into Season 2 and only have 18 more days left until Season 2 ends
- To introduce a new compensation system (i.e. Multiple Giving Circle), without much community deliberation and alignment, will risk creating concerns and disagreements with the system
- Rather than trying to implement a new system mid-flight through Season 2, we will instead stick with the same system we used in Season 1 (a Single Giving Circle)
- We believe that introducing a sub-optimal Season 2 proposal, mid-flight, will cause more issues than help so we want to take Season 2 to properly plan for Season 3 and Multiple Giving Circles.
- In Season 1, we had 20 contributors and we expect to have between 20-30 contributors for Season 2. We believe that a Single Giving Circle will still work for a group of this size, and will still require continued communication and culture of transparency within the DAO Masters Community.
- In summary, given the short time duration and the risks of creating a poor compensation proposal, suggesting sticking with a Single Giving Circle and implementing a similar process to Season 1.
