Thanks for the reply Gino! Good conversations.
If I vote someone else (council) to elect and approve an executive, that’s removing my ability for direct decision making.
Any representation is removing the direct influence of a persons vote.
I know America is a representative democracy and my votes and beliefs are many times removed from the actual decision making. I accept that for what it is. If the dao is becoming a representative organization, call it that. We need to be very clear what is happening.
Having veto power is not having direct decision making. The dao is not setting the agenda: a representative is. Therefore, the dao is not DIRECTLY involved in that agenda decision making; the DAO only has reactionary power.
If the vp and voting system isn’t fixed, then whales can override a veto if they side with the council and executive (nepotism and favoritism). So, this new structure is not immune to lobbying and back door deals.
Again, providing examples to help illustrate.
Executive arm is favorable to foundation. They put forth an agenda and budget. Council approves, dao vetos. Whales counter veto because “it’s in the interest of the dao to approve the executive decision”
There’s too much overlap in organizational structure for this to be transparent and efficient. I will mention this more in the RFC Council forum post.
