How Intersect MBO Committees Were Meant to Act as SMEs Filtering Proposals for DReps, @phillip_pon Explains During our recent Roundtable Talk on the topic “𝗗𝗥𝗲𝗽 𝗩𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱”, part of the discussion touched on bringing in subject matter experts to review proposals, and how those contributors could be compensated. That’s where Phillip Pon, CEO of EMURGO, took it a step further, reflecting on what he believes was the original intent behind Intersect MBO committees. “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘷𝘦𝘵 20. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘦. 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦.” The way he framed it is pretty straightforward, committees were meant to act as a filtering layer. Elected experts review proposals, narrow them down, and pass forward what actually makes sense. Less duplication, more coherence, and a more manageable set of proposals for DReps to work through. According to him, that’s not quite how things played out over time, with a much larger volume of proposals coming through instead. It raises a fair point, whether going back to that original approach, with domain experts playing a clearer role, is something worth revisiting. #CardanoShorts
