September Voting Cycle

> [@Proposal: Governance Council (GC) Formation](https://forum.scroll.io/t/proposal-governance-council-gc-formation/1071):
>
> Summary Requested Budget: 1,500,000 SCR Timeline: 6 Months This proposal would establish the Governance Council (GC) - a dedicated body responsible for overseeing experimentation and research relating to the future directions of governance at Scroll DAO. The creation of this council would enable much more active research and experimentation towards the dual goal of growing the Scroll network while advancing on the value of progressive decentralization. Motivation As Scroll DAO matures, govern…

I am voting **FOR** , for this proposal.

We need a small, time-boxed council to move governance from discussion to execution: ship a 6-month roadmap, run controlled experiments, and publish bi-weekly updates, with a delegate veto backstop.

- Focused + accountable: 3 members, 6 months, clear outputs (roadmap, RFPs, mid-term report, charter).

- Good spend mix: ~120k SCR for stipends; majority for pilots, tooling, and grants.

- COI hygiene: no dual seats on budget councils; conflicts policy included.

Light guardrails (not blockers): seat all 3 before any \>25% disbursement; public tracker of approvals/spend; coordinate scopes with EGC/Community Council; keep vendor lanes open; track outcomes (experiments run, decision-cycle time, delegate participation).

This is the right scaffolding to accelerate progressive decentralization with community oversight intact.

> [@Proposal: Scroll DAO Timelock Test](https://forum.scroll.io/t/proposal-scroll-dao-timelock-test/1073):
>
> Proposal Type: Operations Summary This proposal is to test the timelock with the DAO. That would entail sending 1 SCR to the timelock, and executing this proposal would send the 1 SCR back to the DAO treasury. There will be no cost to the DAO. Motivation The goal of this proposal is to show that everything is working as intended with the timelock. This is an important part before putting more of the DAO budget into the timelock and minimizing the reliance on manual execution of the transaction…

I am voting **FOR** , for this proposal.

It’s a low-risk, zero-cost sanity check that unblocks moving financial ops from manual execution to the Governor→Timelock flow.

- Operational readiness: Verifies queue → delay → execute works end-to-end.
- Safety first: Uses 1 SCR, minimal blast radius, to prove wiring before larger transfers.
- Decentralization win: Reduces reliance on manual execution; improves auditability and predictability.
- Clear success criteria: Pre/post treasury balance + tx hashes confirm the round-trip.

> [@Proposal: Governance Contribution Recognition (Cycle 2: May - December 2025)](https://forum.scroll.io/t/proposal-governance-contribution-recognition-cycle-2-may-december-2025/1085):
>
> Proposal Title Governance Contribution Recognition (Cycle 2: May - December 2025) Proposal Type Governance Proposal Authors: @Bitblondy, @Seiryuu, @kevinknielsen & Alex Sampson (Proxy) Summary Continuation of Delegate Incentives: This proposal launches the second iteration of the Governance Contribution Recognition (GCR) program to reward Scroll DAO delegates for their contributions from May 1st through December 31st, 2025. The 8 months will be split in two parts, with one retroactive period …

I am voting **FOR** , for this proposal.

We should keep rewarding real governance work and maintain momentum after Cycle 1. This iteration tightens incentives (tiered, performance-based), balances on-chain participation with forum rationale, and keeps costs reasonable (580k SCR across 8 months).

- Continuity + retention: Keeps active delegates engaged and raises the bar on quality vs. drive-by voting.
- Clear, tiered scoring: Voting participation, public rationales, and forum contributions weighted transparently; minimum 60% cutoff is sensible.
- Pragmatic ops: Payout split (retro + forward) lets new delegates get recognized, with SCR-denominated rewards.

Expectation for next cycle (not blocking this one): explore a light VP-aware modifier (e.g., capped/sqrt bands) to better reflect quorum impact; publish a public scoring dashboard + short appeals window; drop call-attendance points until tracking is reliable.

> [@Request for Proposals: DAO Treasury Management](https://forum.scroll.io/t/request-for-proposals-dao-treasury-management/1047):
>
> The governance team invites qualified service providers to submit proposals to support the DAO in developing a robust treasury management strategy for the [DAO treasury](https://scrollscan.com/address/0x4cb06982dD097633426cf32038D9f1182a9aDA0c). We are particularly interested in teams with demonstrated experience managing on-chain assets, supporting DAO governance processes, and designing transparent, risk-aware financial systems. This is an opportunity to help shape Scroll’s financial future - not just by managing assets, but by co-designing the frameworks and tools th…

I am voting **FOR Avantgarde** , as treasury manager.

**Why Avantgarde**

- Fee alignment: No double performance fee; perf fee only on deployed non-SCR assets; clearer long-run cost control.
- Curator control: Vault-level risk curation (vs. fully outsourcing strategy) gives us tighter guardrails.
- Reporting: Pairing with Regen Financial for decision-grade attribution, not just updates.
- Ecosystem fit: Willing to deploy missing pieces (e.g., MYSO on Scroll) and route flows to Scroll DeFi where it doesn’t compromise risk.

**Expectations (non-blocking, but to be locked post-selection)**

- Timeline: Firm date for MYSO deployment on Scroll; confirm fee invariants post-deploy.
- Policy: Written risk limits (stablecoin mix, venue caps, leverage/option notionals, drawdown brakes).
- Ops: If CEXs are used, clarify custody, withdrawal thresholds, and pause/kill-switch.
- Reporting: Weekly dashboard + monthly P&L/VaR/fees/liquidity ladder; short public summary.
- Pilot: Start with a capped tranche, 60–90-day KPI review (net vs. hold-SCR and 50/50 SCR/stable baselines), then scale.
