Proposals: [SEP 35] [OBRA] Improve voting UI/UX with SAFE on mobile
Vote: Make no changes
Rationale: We are voting against this proposal as we believe that while sending reminders to non-signers would be a valuable feature, it would be better integrated into the existing Safe Mobile App rather than creating fragmentation by funding additional third-party application. Unless SafeDAO plans to decommission its mobile app, improvements like this should be centralized within the current ecosystem to streamline user experience and avoid redundancy. For these reasons, I am voting against this proposal at this time.

Vote: Accept
Rationale: We support this proposal because it introduces a lean, specialized framework for allocating grants while maintaining checks and balances through clearly defined committees and councils. By distributing decision-making power between the Strategy Steering Committee and the Grants Council, it addresses voter fatigue, ensures domain expertise, and offers a clear process for community-driven initiatives
Proposals: [SEP 50] Establishing a DAO Oversight Committee to bring Strategy, Process & Accountability to Treasury Management to the SafeDAO
Vote: Accept
Rationale: We support this proposal because it appears to offer a structured approach to treasury management that balances specialized oversight with continued DAO authority. By introducing a dedicated Treasury Management Steering Committee, SafeDAO may benefit from targeted expertise around asset diversification and long-term financial sustainability, while still maintaining ultimate decision-making power in the hands of the community.
