Thanks for the additional post @Bernard. If i’m understanding your proposal correctly, there are two components to it.
One is to help the DAO establish a comprehensive risk management framework and the other component is to provide investment banking type services to help the DAO sell tokens to an aligned VC. Regarding the latter, I believe it makes more sense for the DAO to wait for the Hop V2 launch which will hopefully give the DAO more leverage in Hop sale negotiations. Additionally, I find it hard to justify the 5% fee that was mentioned in the community call because I believe Authereum Labs is best positioned to help the DAO execute a token sale given their extensive investor network and deep understanding of the core product and competitive landscape. And I believe they wouldn’t charge a fee as high to execute.
Therefore, from my perspective I think it makes sense to continue discussing the creation of a comprehensive risk management framework with your help through a grant proposal. But,for now I think I would vote against using your services for a Hop sale.
