AIP-553: ApeCoin DAO Reporting RESET

DavidW:
This is a prodigious sum for a position with no external accountability. If a SC doesn’t do their job, there are no repercussions, no way for the DAO admin to penalize or dismiss anyone. The SC is on their “honor” to work hard for a six-figure salary. Look to historical behavior, not to promises of future behavior. And a suggestion that SC members can be removed by AIP is unpracticable as there are social barriers to calling for a particular member’s dismissal, and they can just backchannel with whales. Also, I don’t see clarity on how much future SC members would receive. Either way, if there is a DAO foundation or admin, they need HR oversight powers or the power to censure and dismiss for nonperformance.
The transparency created by this AIP would very clearly and publicly show if any Special Council member is not showing up, not voting, and not pulling their weight. This would make it a lot simpler for the rest of the DAO to see these objective facts and move to remove a SC member. It will also likely cause those who intend to not work to not seek the job at all.
DavidW:
Failure shall be noted but, as with the salary, there are no repercussions for nonperformance or negligent performance. My AIP process has taken over 1 / 3 of a year SO FAR and has been sitting in admin review for months. It’s a grant to an educational nonprofit with no legal issues whatsoever. I am literally thinking of making an AIP to get my AIP to a vote, but I doubt it would go to a vote.
If you’re talking about SC, the Admin Review would be completely transparent and the Admin Review meetings would be publicly available for anyone to read. The reports would include information on why an AIP is being held in Admin Review, what the SC vote was on whether to send it to a live vote and if any members of the SC missed the vote.
Our hope is it gives full clarity to all AIP Authors both present and future on what the current SC members accept (and really they’re not supposed to have a great deal of flexibility to vote down an AIP.
DavidW:
I like the reasonable noncompete clause. However, as with my previous two comments, how would it be enforced? This is the issue with the admin in DAOs in general. There’s no HR functions. Everyone is on their “honor” to work hard. If they don’t, there are no consequences.
Ernest is the lawyer here but my understanding is that all new Special Council members would have this in their contracts and the DAO itself would enforce. If outside contractors hire within that period of time it may reflect badly on their ability to work with the DAO and Special Council.
Thank you for the comments. This AIP idea is, of course, in idea phase and all authors are ready and willing to make changes.

- ernestlee: There has been criticism regarding the SC salaries. This AIP does not change the salary of the SC but does increase the number of jobs and the accountability of the SC to the community.
This AIP enhances the communication between the SC and the community through weekly reporting and participation in X Spaces and one additional platform. The SC will also now be a constant point of contact for AIP authors from “cradle to grave” on their AIP, providing a channel of communication between such authors, the DAO and the community.
This AIP provides that any non-disclosure agreements between the Foundation and the SC shall only limit communications where the information is subject to nondisclosure pursuant to a provision of a commercial agreement with a 3rd party. This allows and even encourages SC to communicate the inner workings of the DAO with the community on at least a weekly basis.
Lastly, this AIP would prohibit a SC member from working for any entity that contracts with the Foundation for a period of 6 months after leaving the SC position and requires that the SC avoid “the appearance of impropriety” in their affairs.

This is an admirable goal, but no serious executive can have constant oversight by crypto degens and moon boys who just want token price to go up. I think that executives at the level of SC need real oversight by people with proven track records of managerial experience over businesses of over $100 million. I recommend having one or more people in the DAO Foundation, or whatever structure is above the SC, with actual HR authority to deal with nonperformance or negligent performance by the SC. Consequences and accountability must be real and enforced by law.
This goes to the next point:
AaronHaber:

Reflecting badly just isn’t a real consequence. If someone violates a contractual term in the real world, there are serious civil repercussions. I believe all SC members should be privately doxed by the DAO Foundation HR group so that civil litigation for negligence would be on the table. No one should earn six figures without being willing to show personal accountability for their position.
AaronHaber:
Admin Review would be completely transparent
This would be nice.

Content: Read it again, my friend.
The main thrust here is transparency and helping AIP Authors achieve their goals.
T previous reports weren’t very informational and were only put in this forum which we all know is not that well attended.
This AIP would see the Special Council meeting being fully transparent, recorded, and put out for all to see, with NDA-sensitive materials from 3 rd parties redacted if need be.
It will also see the Special Council be a contact for all Accepted AIP Authors with the Special Council acting as a conduit between the Foundation and Authors to make sure:
AIP Authors can get the help that was promised to them in their AIPs
AIP Authors are reporting on their progress, which will make them accountable.
We’ve been told for years that Special Council members can’t comment in public because of an overreaching NDA. It’s time to help our amazing Special Council members and free them from this NDA so they can finally be transparent with the DAO.

GL, but unfortunately I see nothing original or new here that makes me want to say - “yes let’s keep SC” - in fact, all I see is more unnecessary expenses for years to come.
LFG: END SPECIAL COUNCIL FOR GOOD!
Thanks.

AaronHaber - Special Council Nomination 07/2024
by AaronHaber - Accepted AIP Author
Posted on: June 2, 2024, 2 a.m.
Content: Thanks for the love and the great question, @bigbull.
I wrote a whole, long explanation, but Apes don’t read so I’ll bullet point it:
While there’s not a specific requirement, I would facilitate communication between Stewards and Foundation (whom I’ve already worked with on my AIP).
I’d facilitate communication between working groups and see where they can help each other.
I’d smooth over any issues Stewards are having with the Foundation to allow them to achieve their goals.
I’ve been told over and over that 1 Special Council Member can’t make a difference because there are 5 members.
IMHO, this is big BS.
Any Special Council Member can be a helping hand to Stewards, The Foundation and any DAO members and choose to spend their time making the DAO work more efficiently with the current guidelines as set forth by previously passes AIPs.
I hope this answers your question and if not, please let me know what other info I can provide.
Thanks,
Aaron Haber

Content: Thanks! While we can always look to negotiate or for other secure custodial services, my main point is let’s not be a grants DAO that gets mad at people for asking for grants.
Not only do we want to fund great projects and people because it’s part of our mission, but it will also provide ROI back to the DAO to help offset our monthly burn and hopefully far surpass that.
