Thank you to @Kene_StableLab @Jamilya and @eugene for putting together the proposal to establish the Execution Oversight Council (EOC). We view this initiative as a foundational step toward strengthening Scroll DAO’s operational maturity and accountability, moving us toward greater decentralization and reduced reliance on the Foundation. This direction aligns with @alexsotodigital proposal Toward a Role-Based Org Chart for Scroll, which emphasizes clearer roles, responsibilities, and information flows.
Regarding the open question about the EOC’s enforcement: beyond its core mandate, the EOC has the potential to become a strategic asset for Scroll DAO’s long-term health and decentralization journey. Its comprehensive data collection, covering proposal tracking, service provider performance, and quality assurance, offers a unique opportunity to move beyond simple reporting. This information can and should be leveraged as strategic intelligence to guide future governance decisions.
For example, identifying trends in proposal delays or recurring quality issues could directly shape the design of future grant programs or refine proposal submission requirements. Ultimately, the EOC’s quarterly reports should go beyond summarizing past activity and include actionable policy recommendations derived from aggregated insights, transforming the EOC’s role from reactive oversight to proactive, strategic guidance.
Additionally, we think the point raised by @coffee-crusher is an important and sensitive one when it comes to conflicts of interest. Clarifying COI rules for EOC members, especially around professional delegate teams, co-authorship, and proposals with financial benefits, is essential to ensure impartial oversight and maintain trust in the EOC’s decisions.
