Governance

Our Transparency Page shows Last 30 Days Expenses with a Community Grants Payout line item. Should we remove from this line item the DAO Squad Payments and make a separate expense line item? This line item would be a summation of the total for the administrative / support grants, not granular at the individual level. This would mirror a normal business profit and loss by giving us a better insight into the actual amounts being paid out to grants versus the grants that go towards the support, admin, and squad grants (operations vs administrative).

Rationale: the icon at https://canny.io/images/d79f3a6b6b07b57eb816bc38ccff1aa3.png is the same as that on the main decentraland.org pages, which makes it difficult to differentiate between them when many browser tabs are open.

People, including the foundation, like to get public sentiment about ideas and have no effective way of doing that besides submitting a preproposal poll, which often results in comments from pedantic people, like myself, saying "this shouldn't be governance" or people just voting "invalid question" and not offering an opinion on the question. Examples include the resent poll about improvements to the Camera, Canessa's poll about adding a second sun, or Jenn's poll about adding a search bar to the emote page in the backpack. Most people don't even know canny exists, and of those that do, most don't participate. it would make sense to make it as easy as possible to get a sample of community sentiment without having to create "invalid" governance polls.

At present, the governance portal for DAO proposals lacks the capability to block or ignore users' comments. This feature is only available when you click on "Comment on this Proposal" or "Join this Discussion," which directs you to the forum post associated with the DAO proposal. While blocking or ignoring a user within the forum causes their comments to become invisible there, those same comments remain visible on the governance page of the DAO proposal.

I noticed that the limit of 3500 characters for the "Specification" section of a DAO draft and governance proposals isn't sufficient, imo. For instance, the "Abstract" section, which is a "two to three-sentence overview of the proposal," has the same limit as the "Specification", even though the "Specification" is a "detailed description of the proposed policy." I believe that even 5000 characters for the "Specification" section would improve the situation.

Make abstain a different color other than red, such as yellow. Also, i think abstain should not affect the overall vote percentage for governance. The vote percentage should be "yes" versus "no" (as of right now, abstaining on a proposal vs just not voting makes the proposal look less positive)

Add a convenient feature to easily include images when submitting proposals. Reference - Snapshot.

Right now when delegating VP, wallets can only delegate all or nothing. So if you want to delegate to multiple users you have to split Mana/Land between wallets which is kind of a pain just to delegate. Can we make delegation easier by allowing users to delegate to multiple recipients from a single wallet?

I believe there should be a more user-friendly summary of transactions in the Google Transparency sheet, categorized by "Type" (Incoming/Outgoing), "Tag," and "USD and Token Amount." For instance, the line "DAO Committee" is confusing because it appears in both the "Income" and "Expenses" sections, primarily to represent stablecoin swaps. The same for line "Other". To calculate the amounts spent on Core Units, one currently has to manually review each Core Units grant. This is cumbersome because it requires separate calculations for the DAO, Revocations and Curation Committees' salaries/compensations which are also Core Units but not grant-based. To simplify this, it would be beneficial to introduce a "Core Category" that includes all related operating expenses. Additionally, there is a need to standardize tag names for consistency across all reports. Operating costs should also have their own separate line in the "Expenses" section for transparency, distinct from other grants. This will provide a more unified and detailed account of core units and other operating expenses. Also, transaction tags could be organized better to produce a cleaner Income Statement (also known as Profit and Loss Summary). This would make the transactions between the DAO Committee and the Treasury (such as Mana swaps) more understandable.

Make a breakdown of the VP sources (by mana, land % etc) for the "delegatedVP". In the DCL DAO Transparency stats the "delegatedVP" is 32,759, 489 while the "Delegated VP Distribution" is 7, 782,278 These numbers differ and in my opinion it not convenient to manually query the delegator and check their vp breakdown and then summarize the delegator sources in another table. DAO need simple automated stats. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FoV7TdMTVnqVOZoV4bvVdHWkeu4sMH5JEhp8L0Shjlo/edit#gid=624625832
