🤝🏽 SIP Establishing a SandFam-elected "Community Council"

[rocksymiguel]

While this idea makes me think that the DAO Admin Team is finally accepting one of the problems that currently exist:

@Lanzer

Cyril’s DAO team is administrative in nature. The Special Council have many other responsibilities in their own lives–leaders like Yat Siu can’t be expected to participate to the extent we’d want when leading a global company of 300+ companies, and the Advisory Board are more consultant in nature. There’s no “governing body” that focuses on the daily workings of the DAO.

Also this has been pointed out by the community since the origin of the DAO, the lack of community representation in decision making or in council. Although this SIP co-authored by the DAO Admin Team (and Lanzer) is pointing that problem and trying to solve it, I don’t think this is the way to do it.
I think it’s like ‘putting a patch on it’ or ‘sweeping something under the carpet and move on’, but it’s not a real or effective solution.

There is another even bigger problem, the lack of participation of community members. I find it very difficult to see that a Community Council is going to solve that, let alone that someone is going to want to do it for free for two years. But I think that’s was something that was in mind while making this SIP:

Process for Removal

CC members intending to voluntarily step down from their role for any reason must notify the DAO Admin team with as much notice as possible, ideally one month before they are unable to continue their duties.

I may be wrong or not see the bigger picture but I don’t think a community council encourages broader engagement and sustainable community involvement.
