for the dao committee, i think there should be permanent members, but that doesn’t mean there couldn’t be rotating members as well.
HP and Yemel know as much about this platform as is possible and having one or both of them off the DAO committee for the sake of term limits would be (imo) disastrous - i don’t see anyone else with their level of knowledge to replace either of them.
that being said, the new group of people who are running for new positions could be seen as rotating members. However, for this position, which we’ve discussed quite a lot would be in an ideal situation 90% automated, i don’t really see the use as there’s not really an ideological basis, just a technical one
Thanks for the comment. Partially agree with you in terms of automation, but so far it is not clear when this will happen. My opinion is that the DCL cannot always rely only on certain people, this is fraught with stagnation and a lack of transparency and democratic principles.
As a solution, I see increased requirements for candidates(including technical) and a methodology that can be created to train future committee members.
i think that’s fair - it might be too early to implement term limits now, but training could start when the first new members are elected
The absence of a period of duration for DAO committee members in Decentraland can lead to several potential issues, including:
Lack of accountability: Without a set term, committee members may not be held accountable for their actions, leading to potential abuses of power.
Lack of fresh perspectives: Without new members regularly joining the committee, the same individuals may hold power for an extended period of time, stifling innovation and new ideas.
Lack of trust: The absence of term limits may lead to concerns about the impartiality of the committee, as members may become entrenched in their positions and less responsive to the needs of the community.
Reduced democratic participation: The absence of term limits may discourage community members from participating in governance, as they may feel that their voices will not be heard.
It is important to balance the need for stability and consistency with the need for accountability, fresh perspectives, and democratic participation. A system with term limits and regular elections can help to address these potential issues.
There is a good example DAO can follow - Accountability Committee.
According to Article 5 of the Accountability Committee Framework:
“This Accountability Committee selected by the Decentraland DAO Community is expected to be in office for twelve (12) months and the members could be re-elected only for one consecutive period.”
Yes: Set duration period for DAO Committee members for 12 months and members re-election only for one consecutive period.
No: Leave as it is.
