HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDBOX DAO!!!
I echo @cryptodiplo 's remarks. Sounds like TSB is weighing in here and could be related to the delayed funding bill that Cyril mentioned was due Jan or Feb.
In any case. We’re sitting at 19 of 28 SIPs passed, a pass rate of 67%. Is there an indication of what might help it be seen as a success? Say 80%?
@theKuntaMC I have definitely noticed an “all or nothing” attitude toward SIPs. As in, if someone felt that one part of the SIP was unacceptable, they voted against the whole thing. That, coupled with an unexpected “if I can’t do it you can’t either” like I experienced with my SANDDAO SIP, I can see why some might look at the DAO as something other than successful.
My Thoughts on helping turn this around
- SC Recommendations should generally give out a positive unless there is something outrageously in opposition to TSB vision.
- DAO Admin Team might consider lowering the bar for
SIP: Ideas to be submitted to 
SIP: Active > 
In Discussion - DAO Admin Team might consider generating more RFPs. UGC was a big success and it showcased what SIP recipient status felt like. I’d gladly volunteer to help since I do literal RFP building + evaluation in my professional life. I have a whole backlog of SIP ideas I can’t get to in a lifetime because of the burden on MetaWorlds team to get it to vote and carry it out. Just getting Sand Chest SIP to the voting line has been a multi-months long process. My other three took even longer.
- SC Reelections pronto. The lack of visible elected DAO leadership has been a huge, HUGE mortal wound to the DAO. Momentum, energy, and general sense of purpose for the DAO has been negated from the start. A general rule of thumb in any organization…shortcoming at the lower levels indicates shortcoming at the leadership level.
Fun fact: In my SIP backlog I even have an out-of-cycle SC & AB election SIP that I have outlined, but all these other things have taken so long to get through the process, reelections are rapidly approaching and it no longer feels relevant.
