[RFC] Strategic Alignment Initiative (SAI) for VeloraDAO

Hi @Curia team!

This is an excellent initiative, and it has our full support. While we believe delegates and community members should remain free to propose their own initiatives based on evolving circumstances, we also believe that the DAO as a whole must establish its strategic objectives, determine how to implement them, and develop a concrete action plan to bring them to life.

With some nuances compared to the idea you outlined, we at SEEDGov —in our role as the Governance Task Force— are planning to launch a framework in the near future (end of Q3 or beginning of Q4) to convene the entire DAO —delegates, tokenholders, and all stakeholders— to collectively define the DAO’s strategic objectives for the short, medium, and long term. The goal is to discuss how to implement them and prioritize initiatives with the greatest potential impact.

This will require careful planning, the creation of clear and accessible materials to facilitate community participation, coordination of collective efforts, and ultimately, analysis and synthesis of all contributions into a clear set of strategic goals and implementation tracks.

We are therefore fully aligned with this proposal and excited to contribute to its design and implementation, as it aligns closely with a key priority we had already identified within our scope:

We have studied the unsuccessful experience of Arbitrum’s Strategic Objective Setting (SOS) process, which is yet to be finished and still impossible to assess its impact. We believe there are valuable lessons to draw from that process that can help us build a more effective and tailored initiative for VeloraDAO.

If it seems right to you, and depending on the feedback this thread receives from the community, we’d be happy to communicate to coordinate and exchange ideas with you to jointly shape a stronger, aligned initiative that can further the DAO’s development.
