2 | Jaunrah | "The proposal specifies that the OpCo would only affect operational efficiency, not the strategic goals of the DAO; however, there is a risk of centralizing decision-making if not enough transparency is given. I believe that the OAT role would be key to make this function properly so there would need to be adequate mechanisms for it to be transparent, accountable and with well-defined roles and responsibilities. It should also be subject to checks and balances, with clear guidelines, so that there is no concentration of authority that could potentially undermine the DAO’s decentralization focus. If I understood correctly, the OAT will be responsible for the OpCo to operate with adequate checks on spending, staffing, and project prioritization so it will become a major position within the DAO structure.

While the DAO can oversee OpCo, OpCo has a high degree of autonomy, particularly in recruiting and contracting personnel.

For example, if we know the oversight council will be $25,000 a month, why not just sell the $600,000 USD worth of ARB at the start?" | 0.2133312592 | 1 | Budget Management |
