@williamx, I am sorry about this. It should not have happened. I apologize on behalf of @Natashacremonese
I would like to make a few points.
What happened reinforces my idea that it is not healthy to have the same moderator evaluating the same DAO in consecutive months. It often leads to a certain amount of stress, which in no way justifies taking things personally, but it is possible to avoid major confrontations.
It is clear that apparently you understand that councils should not make proposals, however, this is a decision that is up to each DAO and the amount of councils with proposals in the system is infinitely significant. Why is only FEMINU being questioned?
What worries us the most, however, is the need for consistency in the moderators’ evaluation, which doesn’t seem to be happening as the FEMINU DAO is questioned about the distribution of funds and also about who exactly does what work (@naju´s proposal) and yet, for two months in a row the VN Artists DAO has made proposals without specifying not only who does what, but mainly, to which wallets the fund will be allocated. This seems to me totally against the fundamental principle that governs our ecosystem, which is transparency. One can’t see in the proposals of this DAO any of the questionings that are made to FEMINU by @williamx, council of the VN Artists DAO, who in our opinion could not demand what he himself doesn’t do in his DAO, as well as the other moderators who approved such proposals without any questioning. About this issue we are waiting for a position and, if it is the case, to revert the approval of the July proposal, or condition it to the information that should be included there so that we know who is doing what work and to which portfolios the incentive is being destined.
What is also making us curious is the fact that we are receiving questions about the concentration of funds for councils and at the same time seeing the following payments in Astro for the wallets williamxx.near:
300USD - accounting work (council work)
https://app.astrodao.com/dao/vn-artists-dao.sputnik-dao.near/proposals/vn-artists-dao.sputnik-dao.near-62
200USD - for hosting community call (May) (council work)
https://app.astrodao.com/dao/vn-artists-dao.sputnik-dao.near/proposals/vn-artists-dao.sputnik-dao.near-54
100USD - Conducting community calls (July) (council work)
https://app.astrodao.com/dao/vn-artists-dao.sputnik-dao.near/proposals/vn-artists-dao.sputnik-dao.near-117
The above items clearly refer to work to be done by councils. Very different from a work of organization and production of assets that would be destined to the sustainability of the DAO, with extra transport costs and considerable execution time, for example. Still, regarding the T-shirt proposal, we will elaborate in more details and return next month when we expect it to be approved. Therefore, we will readjust the amounts above and the total budget will now be 4,300USD, and we wait for your support so that FEMINU can continue to do the significant work in the community that it has been done.
Best,
Ghini
