AADAO Oversight Special Report: GM Misconduct/Mismanagement

Following a raucous start to the Twitter space today, this is what I believe we mutually agreed to via the Townhall and additional conversations in AADAO Slack:

Independence of AADAO Oversight:

AADAO Oversight is an autonomous and independent committee, separate from the Core DAO. Its primary responsibility is to represent and serve the interests of the Cosmos hub community & stakeholders. The committee is not obligated to align with AADAO’s business, strategic, entrepreneurial, marketing, or public relations objectives.

Removal Process for Elected Oversight Member:

The elected member of AADAO Oversight can only be elected and removed through Cosmos hub governance.

Revised Hiring Protocol for Key Oversight Roles:

The hiring process for the Oversight Coordinator and Oversight Controller positions must be restructured. At a minimum, when these roles become vacant, they should be:
a) Publicly advertised with an open application period
b) Potentially subject to ratification through Cosmos Hub Governance

Rescinding Previous Oversight Coordinator

Offer: The offer extended to an Oversight Coordinator candidate on August 30th by the former GM will be withdrawn. This decision is based on the fact that the offer was made by the former GM during an ongoing investigation into his misconduct and mismanagement issues.

(Unclear if we have agreement on the below, but asking again)

Ownership and Independence of Transparency Reports:

Transparency Reports are to be considered the exclusive products of the Oversight committee. These reports should not require approval from or be directed by Core DAO members, maintaining the committee’s independence and objectivity in public reports.
