Oh gosh, and we have planned to apply for a grant in January. What should we do? We are afraid we won't have enough funding for what we have planned. Our original idea was to initially submit a draft and discuss every aspect with the community, but we are unsure we will have enough time unti 31st to do that.

[quote="Seanny, post:4, topic:17207"] Even so, this pause only sets a precedent related to the starting and pausing of the Decentraland Grants System [/quote] It is because of this point here, that I am going to ultimately be voting yes on this proposals. While my opposition to the pause was not necessarily strong, I have been vocal during the previous proposals about what I think some of the negative implications of the pause could be, and made similar points to @AwedJob about us being able to self-regulate without such a significant evasive maneuver. And as a result, did vote against the two previous proposal stages. That said, I think the "DAO Community" putting a pause on "DAO Operations" is an important precedent to set. In political theory there is something called "a state of exception" and the argument is that "sovereign is he who decides on the exception." The Community deciding to interrupt the normal flow of operations of the DAO, is an important step toward centering the locus of sovereignty in the DAO Community - or in other words, the power to decide on the exception. For this reason, I will be voting yes on this proposal. Thank you @Seanny and @esteban for the work and amount of though you put this proposal.

[quote="AwedJob, post:2, topic:17207"] What happens if, during the two month pause, money needs to be allocated via the DAO. [/quote] [quote="esteban, post:3, topic:17207"] I don’t think the DAO had any “urgent requirement for allocation of money [/quote] Even so, this pause only sets a precedent related to the starting and pausing of the Decentraland Grants System (more specifically the **uptake** of new grants), and in no way, shape, or form does it impact our ability to allocate, shift and diversify our asset holdings.

Voting yes. To address the previous comment, it's just two months, and the proposal already considered DAO teams and allocations. I don't think the DAO had any "urgent requirement for allocation of money". Let's move forward and finish enacting this pause, so that our community heals and rests from the decision fatigue and social problems that grants have been creating lately.

Vote: NO A friend of mine recently commented to me that they were voting no on basically every new proposal that came out because the "Pause Proposal" is on its way. What an excellent idea! If we need to pause spending on grants or other governance measures we already have a mechanism in place. What happens if, during the two month pause, money needs to be allocated via the DAO. How long will it take to spin everything back up? By voting no an everything as a means of pausing activity, reversing it is as simple as voting yes.
