Hi Everyone 
To progress this conversation and ensure the communities wishes are reflected in the forward looking budget for the DAO, @Llamaxyz intends to present a Snapshot vote that will determine the path forward.
Note: Llama has already began researching various options and contributors at Llama have implemented governance processes at several well known DAOs, like APWine and Paladin DAO. Financial analysis for how this would affect the communities cash flow and runway has already began. This is something we are looking to showcase on the UI that Llama is building for Aave DAO as we continually add features over time.
The vote shall present the following options to the community:
Option 1 - Delegate Gas Rebate Program
This option reflects the proposal outline here and no additional funding outside of this proposal is to be allocated to delegates for governance participating during the next 6 months. After the 6 month window has passed Aave DAO is then able to review this decision.
Option 2 - Incentivised Delegates Program excluding Service Providers
@Llama shall design an Incentivised Delegate Program, which only recognised delegates are eligible for inclusion within, for the community to review and comment on. This will include a review of existing programs already implemented in the industry, with the a recommended program being published as a TEMP CHECK for the Aave DAO to review and iterate on.
Do note, Service Providers are excluded from receiving economic reward for being a recognised delegate platform.
Option 3 - Incentivised Delegate & Service Providers including Service Providers
Similar to Option 2, with the only difference being Service Provider are to receive payment as a Recognised Delegates.
The outcome of this vote will lead to a revision of the DAO’s financial forecast and runway. If the community elects for an Incentivized Delegation Program, Llama will provide analysis for how this will affect the communities runway. We believe it is beneficial for an proposed incentivized delegate campaign to contain a analysis, including sensitivity analysis, creating visibility around the affects it will have on the communities runway and profitability.
@Llamaxyz intends to create a Snapshot vote starting Monday 8th May. We are more than happy to include community feedback.
