This is a brilliant question. It had been on my mind that for “DAO Level” projects and initiatives such as Seasonal Sponsorship or the Job Board that are likely to generate significant recurring revenue from the actions of a few, it’s not totally clear to me how the split would work and so debate on this topic important.
These things need to happen and we need to be ensure people are incentivised to do them but be careful about those incentive structures so the focus doesn’t become maximising ROI - I know @wolovim has some interest thoughts here.
As the proposal currently stands it kicks this questions to the Budget Application Process but and I am unsure if we need to/should account for specific use cases like this here, or, if we should maybe just provide some guidelines and refine during the budget process.
Maybe it would be interesting to get thoughts on people who have been playing these roles thus far so in the Seasonal Sponsorship space that’s @nas @tonyolendo @Colin4ward @daeshawn.eth @Orlundo (please any one I’ve missed) and on the job board that’s me, @drop_knowledge @pbillingsby.eth @jazza.eth aykay.eth @carlomigueldy.eth @angel
My personal thoughts (acknowledging that I come from a place whereby i’ll likely be rewarded for FT work at the DAO soon), that these recurring revenue generating initiatives should probably primarily (or maybe entirely) going to the DAO Treasury given they are at the “DAO Level” and be spread across the DAO to support other initiatives as much as possible.
This feels a bit unfair though writing it so I think it would be really valuable to get others input here as too wether or not we set a standard or kick this debate to the budget application process where we could look at the specifics of each case.
Kicking the debate to the budget application process is where my thoughts are currently

To clarify… on a project level (for example with the conf) if there is someone involved in the project from MBD/BizDev that is securing partnerships at the project level imho they should definitely be rewarded for that as other projects would be. It’s the DAO Level recurring piece I’m struggling with in my mind.
