Although I haven’t been able to think this through to the extent I’d like to offer support, yet, there are a few things that strike me:
- I find the idea of a MGC (to vote in lieu of failed organic interest) to be creating unnecessary work for ourselves; we could effectively eliminate quorum, carry out the wishes of the interested voters, and it would be a better process in my opinion;
- Accruing INDEX to the treasury at this stage seems like a missed opportunity given that there is an overhead cost to executing metagov functions; I would prefer to see any accrual to be split in some fair way between the MGC (or subject executive body) and the Operations Account;
- While I initially struggle a bit to see a use-case for interested parties ‘burning’ INDEX for metagov votes (although it would certainly signal strong interest), I think it would also be a great consideration for the proposing use-case outlined here.
This proposal highlights the importance and ability of funding the metagov process via its own design, and that I am in support of, provided the tokenomics make sense and the execution not particularly onerous. I appreciate you giving this the thought that you have and for proposing this in the forum for discussion @robdog - in my opinion having these types of discussions truly moves this DAO toward a more sustainable future.
