Summary
The Security Council had its pay reduced by 80% for “sustainability.”
This proposal applies the same 80% reduction to:
-
Webslinger (currently ~$600,000/year)
-
Chris (undisclosed salary paid by Webslinger)
-
12Gauge (undisclosed salary paid by Webslinger)
If cuts are necessary, they must be applied equally across all roles.
Rationale
1. Fairness & Consistency
The DAO cannot cut elected community members by 80% while leaving Webslinger and his internally paid operators untouched.
Equal cuts ensure no double-standards.
2. Webslinger’s Pay Is Excessive
$600k/year is far above industry norms for DAO operations.
An 80% reduction brings it down to:
- $600,000 → $120,000/year
This is a reasonable and sustainable rate.
3. Reduce Chris & 12Gauge by the Same Percentage
Because their salaries are funded through Webslinger, they also receive an 80% reduction:
- New salary = Current salary × 0.20
This removes conflicts of interest and restores transparency.
Compensation Adjustments
Webslinger
- From $600,000 → $120,000/year
Chris
- Reduced to 20% of current compensation
12Gauge
- Reduced to 20% of current compensation
Implementation
-
Changes take effect immediately upon approval
-
Webslinger contract renegotiated within 30 days
-
All compensation must be publicly disclosed to the DAO
-
Future salary changes require DAO approval
Conclusion
If the DAO is cutting costs, everyone should share the cut — not only the community-elected roles.
This aligns pay across the entire organization, protects the treasury, and restores fairness and accountability.
