Counter-Proposal: Standardized Onboarding of Josh Lippi and Trevor Banta

Introduction

This counter-proposal is designed to ensure the onboarding of Josh Lippi and Trevor Banta aligns with the standardized practices of Gnars DAO. In keeping with our commitment to fairness and consistency, this approach respects the diversity of how members join our community, whether through purchase or other means.

Background

The original proposal suggested allocating 2 Gnar NFTs each to Josh Lippi and Trevor Banta, which diverges from our standard onboarding procedure. In the interest of maintaining a balanced and equitable approach, especially considering that some community members acquire Gnars through purchase or other individual efforts, it is important to standardize NFT allocations. This ensures that each member, regardless of their entry method, is welcomed equally.

Proposal Details

1. Allocation Adjustment:

   • Allocate 1 Gnar NFT to Josh Lippi (joshlippi.eth)
   • Allocate 1 Gnar NFT to Trevor Banta (errorgardener.eth)

2. NFT Selection:

   • The specific Gnar NFTs to be allocated will be chosen based on availability and relevance, ensuring a meaningful and representative selection for both new members.

As the specific Gnar NFTs intended for allocation to Josh Lippi and Trevor Banta were not specified in the previous proposal, nor have they been pre-determined by the Gnars Community, I propose a collaborative and transparent approach to this process. To ensure fairness and community involvement, it is suggested that the proposers present their preferred Gnar NFT choices to the Community Pod. This will allow for an internal voting mechanism as a palliative measure.

The available Gnars for selection can be viewed at this link. This step will provide an opportunity for community members to have a say in the allocation process, ensuring that the NFTs chosen are in alignment with community interests and values.

This approach not only maintains transparency in the onboarding process but also reinforces the communal spirit of Gnars DAO by involving members in key decisions. It reflects our commitment to fairness and inclusivity, ensuring that all members, particularly new ones, feel valued and integrated into our community.

3. Transaction Details:
   • The NFT transfer will be executed from the Gnars Multisig wallet, with transaction details to be confirmed and signed off by authorized DAO members.

Justification for Counter-Proposal

This counter-proposal is justified by the need for a fair and consistent onboarding process. Given that Gnars are acquired by community members in various ways, including purchase, it is essential to avoid arbitrary allocations of multiple NFTs to certain individuals. This ensures that every new member, regardless of their background or contributions, is welcomed on an equal footing, maintaining the integrity and egalitarian ethos of the Gnars community.

Conclusion

We encourage the Gnars community to support this counter-proposal, which aligns with our standard onboarding practices and upholds the principles of fairness and consistency in welcoming new members.
