AADAO Oversight - Elected Member Updates & Reports

Conversation AADAO

AADAO Structure and Governance:

  1. Core DAO:

    • No members of the core DAO were elected.
    • The GM was self-appointed.
    • The GM hired the contributors.

  2. Oversight:

    • The Oversight committee has only one elected member, which is my role.
    • Oversight is independent from the Core DAO.
    • Two key roles, Oversight Controller and Oversight Coordinator, are hired through a process involving:
      a) The GM creating a shortlist of candidates
      b) StratComm selecting from this shortlist
      c) The selected candidate being ratified by an all-DAO vote, excluding votes from Oversight members

Current Issues and Suggested Changes:

  • Imo the hiring process for Oversight Coordinator and Oversight Controller needs to change.
  • An offer was made to an Oversight Coordinator candidate on August 30th by Youssef.
  • Although I respect the candidate, the hiring process should be redone due to recent misconduct/mismanagement of the GM. Aug 30th, is also the same day I remitted an internal incident report documenting potential misconduct/mismanagement of the GM.
  • Oversight Coordinator and Oversight Controller must involve an open application period, as Oversight serves hub stakeholders, not the DAO.

The current hiring process for Oversight is not aligned with oversight mandate and function. The current process is highly susceptible to the strategic and business interests of the core DAO members.
