I think this is a very positive step towards making the operations of the DAO more sustainable and recognizing the work that is being done by some of our key members.
I agree, in principle, with Clifton's statement about direct incentives for sponsorships. In my opinion it would be advantageous to cast a wide net and leverage the connections of our 100+ members. I think that this creates a strong incentive for individuals throughout the DAO, not just on the partnerships and DAO relations committee, to tap their network and generate partnerships. I see this model supporting the work of those two committees by decentralizing lead generation, at least to an extent - though it may also increase their workload as they are now handling more potential partnerships. As members of these committees will still most likely be responsible for closing the deals, arranging payment, etc. I do believe it is still important they receive a rev share / commission on the deal, so as long as that is still accounted for, I think we would do well to compensate lead generation and biz-dev work done by individual members (that results in real partnerships).
I also agree with Clifton's proposal about compensating personnel working the event. This could mean a lot of things, so perhaps Dework could be a good tool to assign specific tasks before the fact.
Overall, I think that this is a very positive step and appreciate all of the work that went into generating this proposal.
Great job team!
