I find it deeply concerning that we have reached this stage without addressing the core questions raised by the community. Not long ago, @Stani, you shared a very clear philosophy regarding the $AAVE token alignment proposal: > “Furthermore, while the conversation about brand ownership and an improved DAO structure is essential, this proposal takes us in a direction that is not good for theave ecosystem. It forces a complex legal and operational issue into a simple yes/no, empty payload vote with no clear path forward. A complex issue like this deserves a dedicated, structured process and multiple Temp Checks with a concrete plan to achieve resolution.” _(Source: [Stani, Post](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-aave-token-alignment-phase-1-ownership/23616/58)_[#58\*, Topic 23616\*](https://governance.aave.com/t/arfc-aave-token-alignment-phase-1-ownership/23616/58)_)_ The irony is hard to ignore. The community has spent the last few days demanding exactly what you advocated for then: a dedicated, structured process and multiple Temp Checks to unpack a multi-million dollar commitment. Instead, we are being pushed into a bundled Snapshot with no clear path to resolve the sensitive concerns voiced here. As Seneca famously put it: _ **Do as I say, not as I do.** _ Those who want to see the double standard, will see it. --- _[View the full topic](https://governance.aave.com/t/aave-labs-86-million-23-of-the-token-supply-and-this-is-their-track-record/24159)._
