[Draft 1] Governance Solutions Engineer Program

Hey all, I released a second draft here:

Note the changes marked with a :warning:


A few replies that I wish I had gotten around to earlier:

@Eagle & @Grendel
Regarding funding

  • I agree that this might be high, but I cannot understate the importance of having solutions to these two existential problems. We’ve been spinning our wheels on these issues. The new proposal modifies the # of GSEs and ties comp to deliverables. Members are no longer voting on whether to apply bonuses. If deliverables are poor, the DAO will recoup much of the cost.
  • I disagree that comp should be fixed. This should be deliver or die IMO. Granted this comp model is also an experiment.
  • “I also believe that the role cannot be covered by those with a guest pass” - I disagree here. Some of the best ideas I’ve heard have been from guest pass members, though I think the DAO will trend towards L2 contributors anyways.

Needs more thought: the compensation seems low for the responsibility of this position. 100,000 BANK is roughly US$13,500 today, so for a season of work that’s about $4,500 per month or US$54,000 annualized.

This does not include the compensation multiplier! In Draft 2, each of the 5 GSEs are salaried 75K, but the entire group can unlock an additional 750K, averaging out to 225K.

With regards to this being over engineered or something that ops and dev guild can do together: I think you’re missing the scope of this problem and the work needed to be done. This is us going back to the drawing board (Season 0 style) after 6 months of operations and growth. Not something that a few meetings or a seasonal retreat can tackle.
