there are about 11 proposals pending in the Proposals thread, and most of them do not require any funding at all. When will they be put up for a vote?
Thanks for the question @Dacha. Cross-posting our thread from Telegram here:
It’s important to address a common misconception: “Non-financial” proposals are not inherently faster, easier, or better.
Every proposal has two types of cost:
Funding cost — the financial ask
Attention cost — the capacity needed to support, implement, and sustain the outcome
(e.g., legal input, engineering support, coordination, and community involvement, which is limited!)
So our fundamental evaluation is always:
Does this proposal meaningfully advance our North Star, and can we realistically support its success right now?
That includes:
- Is the timing right for implementation?
- Can we absorb and operationalize the value created?
- What is the tradeoff in funding and attention?
Regarding the proposals currently pending:
Some are out of scope for the moment, e.g., transferring the Head of Governance role to HoS.
I’m hired by NF for 12 months to enable that transition. The transfer will become very relevant again in 2026.
Others are valuable governance improvements, e.g.,
• HSP: Due Diligence Team under the Security Council
• HSP: Transition to an elected Screening Committee
These are important, but they shouldn’t be voted on in isolation.
They must fit into an integrated governance roadmap with clear priorities and budgeting.
Why?
Prioritization is strategy
Right now, both funds and capacity are limited.
(And yes, if you ask why we don’t already have this roadmap: HoS is lacking budget to make an informed decision on a roadmap yet.)
We can’t spread ourselves thin across initiatives without delivering tangible results.
We need focused momentum, and coordinated sequencing.
Practical path forward
Ratify the constitutional documents
Review a comprehensive HoS DAO Ops roadmap, with priorities and budget, coming Q1 2026
Vote on the priorities and move forward with community alignment
Execute accordingly, including decentralizing the Screening Committee when the community confirms the timing and tradeoffs
Bottom line
We must choose what matters most and sequence it deliberately. That’s how HoS becomes effective, and how we build trust through execution.
