How many squads we need ? might as well make a army.

Create a grant accountability squad This proposal has been REJECTED by a DAO Committee Member (0xbef99f5f55cf7cdb3a70998c57061b7e1386a9b0)

Create a grant accountability squad This proposal is now in status: FINISHED. Voting Results: * Create grant accountability squad 6% 501,104 VP (30 votes) * Do not create new squad 93% 7,125,913 VP (57 votes) * Invalid question/options 1% 3,960 VP (2 votes)

I like the idea of this, but am also going to vote no because at this point I feel like more committees handling things creates more ways for issues to be passed along or get lost in the shuffle. Thanks for starting the conversation though. I would be more supportive of a proposal amending the GSS's responsibilities or the revocation committee or something to explicitly outline action items and sanctions regarding grant accountability. There are enough people being paid by the DAO to handle grants/issues, I don't feel like adding more is the best approach at this time.

Thank you for bringing this issue to the forefront and the way you are thinking is heading us in the right direction. With so many squads/committees and so much money going toward those paid positions, I would prefer a review of duties and better distribution of those responsibilities' vs creating another layer. For now, I am voting NO, but we should continue to discuss accountability and defining what that means and looks like in an effort to appease community satisfaction.

DAO is already paying a lot to GSS, another squad would be extra expenses. I think accountability should be part of GSS job, because what are they otherwise doing? Having monthly meetings together with grantees and laughing together about how they are draining DAO?

I do think that there is a lot to improve on how things currently works when it comes to grant feasibility, accountability and abuse prevention. Just not convinced that it needs a new Squad for this. With the current amount of grant requests and active grants, this shouldn't be that much work for someone on the GSS to handle. It just needs to be clearly defined as a responsibility. I also don't think that another Squad will do much in terms of stopping corruption and abuse. That is clearly an issue of the current voting system and VP distribution imho.

The discussions about accountability are still in a nascent stage (well, not really.. but have just recently resurfaced).. we have yet to hear from the GSS about this topic. I think this is too preemptive and impulsive. I am also not in favor of dumping more DAO money on yet another squad. I voted no to the renewal of the GSS, Revocations committee, and Strategic unit.. voting no on this.

I'm going to flip to no for now, I think this has generated some really good discussion and would like to follow through with some of the process improvements being discussed in the discord before we identify further gaps that need to be filled. I do think there is an argument that it may be a full time job to research and verify grant feasibility, but not sure if that is something we can expect to succeed in until the other squads processes have had iterations and time to be fully fleshed out.

So we have the grant support squad on a grant.

[Decentraland DAO Facilitation Squad Grant Proposal [RENEWAL]](https://governance.decentraland.org/proposal/?id=89a33730-765b-11ed-bc92-ef497b387215) Not finding any grant for paying the Revocation Squad??? The Strategic Unit is on a grant.

While I do not disagree with your reasoning @dogman, I don't believe another squad is the answer. I do believe that there should be more accountability with what we currently have. While they may be there to support the grantees, when deadlines aren't being met and action points aren't being completed (you can see this very easily on notion and all the empty spaces not completed) it should be easy for them to come to the conclusion to have it reviewed especially if a community member brings it up.

[quote="dogman, post:10, topic:20332"] “Real” grantees havent provided close to what the GSS, and DAO committee have. [/quote] ✨maybe, but maaybbeee right here ✨

show me where please :)

also you come with subjective things all the time nothing relevant to factual things.

You asked who on comittee is on salary i provided your answer and then you said but yeah they like curators, what does that matter if they are like curators or are like aliens are they getting paid? yes.

this is a horrible take considering how grants have been going imo. "Real" grantees havent provided close to what the GSS, and DAO committee have. revo committee is paid by job as is wearable curators. Maybe do a little research before commenting incorrect things?

as far as I know there are units taking grants, facilitation im not sure, dao comittee, revo gss 🤷🏻‍♂️ I think if we continue like this everyone is gonna end up in a team doing something to maintain the dao while there is no room for real grantees tryna build anymore.

what other committee is on salary?

I mean squad comittees and all the other stuff 🤷🏻‍♂️ you know exactly what i mean but choose to pinpoint my mistakes. keep in mind english isnt my first language.

afaik there is only 1 squad the GSS on payroll can you name another? This relieves some of their duties. The GSS doesnt ask for any metrics of success, payment info, etc. The GSS is meant to play a support role for grantees not hold them accountable. This proposal would make it easier for the community to understand how a project is doing and to see real tangible data that reflects that. Again the GSS does not even look for grant abuse currently it is up the community so a mute point on "let them do their job"

Voted No. I think we need to work on GSS and Revocations Committee synergy (and process as a whole), no need to create a new Squad.

How much more squads are we gonna need to pay for, I’m starting if this continues im gonna start suicide squad soon. We have enough with the gss already they are already holding people accountable and supporting them. let them do their job.

Voting yes, with the intention that anyone working within this squad will require the technical/business knowledge to validate proposals, anything subjective should still be left to a DAO vote, but there should be ways to stop things that are technically infeasible/pointless - like the mana DEX that skimmed fees.

elections for these positions would be handled with a dao vote like any other committee
