GovHack Devcon in Bangkok - Hack Humanity
AI summary
This proposal requests funding for 'GovHack Devcon in Bangkok - Hack Humanity,' a 2.5-day in-person event in Bangkok from November 8-10, preceded by a 4-week online 'onramp' and followed by a 4-week online 'afterburner' support program. The goal is to improve coordination, strategy alignment, and support for promising proposals within the Arbitrum DAO. This is the third iteration of GovHack, designed to be more cost-effective and time-efficient for delegates.
If passed, the Arbitrum DAO will spend $156,000 to host this event and associated programs. The primary beneficiaries would be the organizers of GovHack and participants who gain mentorship and networking opportunities. The DAO hopes to benefit from better-aligned proposals and improved talent retention, though the direct impact on proposal quality and talent retention cannot be guaranteed.
