VDP - 155 Approving Genesis Guardians for VitaDAO 2.0

One-liner

This proposal seeks to approve the 4 Genesis Guardians who have applied during the initial application period for VitaDAO's transition to its new organizational structure (VitaDAO 2.0).

Guardians are responsible for overseeing operations, assigning Pod Leads, setting budgetary frameworks, and providing strategic direction.

They must be in the top 1% of governance power holders and commit to specific responsibilities and accountability measures. The group is composed of key stakeholders with significant VITA holdings, and is limited to seven members ("pizza team"), though not all seats have to be taken at all times.

Specification:

We propose to approve the following 4 candidates as Genesis Guardians, who have applied and met the eligibility criteria:

1. Alex Dobrin
2. Paul Kolhaas
3. Laurence Ion
4. Vincent Weisser

Guardian Responsibilities:

Approved Guardians commit to:

• Attend bi-weekly internal meetings and semi-annual face-to-face gatherings.
• Fulfill Guardian responsibilities as outlined in VDP-148.
• Risk a limited amount of their governance power based on performance metrics. Guardians will undergo a quarterly performance review based on predefined metrics.
• Provide quarterly reports to the community on their activities and decision-making processes.

Rationale:

Approving these Genesis Guardians is the first step in implementing the initial phase of VitaDAO 2.0's governance framework.

Effect:

If approved, these 4 Genesis Guardians will begin their roles immediately, with 3 seats remaining open for future appointments. They will be responsible for the duties outlined above and in VDP-148, including overseeing operations, strategic planning, and performance reviews of Pod Leads.
