I like this proposal for two very important reasons.

First, the DAO should always be working to give staked SPS value.

• SPS stakers provide stability and give up liquidity to make the whole ecosystem more stable (and thus more valuable).
• The entire community benefits when SPS is "in-demand" and thus appreciates in value over time. People are attracted to an appreciating asset.
• The ultimate value of the SPS will be determined by players wanting to own and/or stake SPS. So the more the DAO can support giving value to SPS stakers, the better.

Conclusion: This proposal rewards SPS stakers.

Second, the discussion of the DAO and its role in the future is important.

• The DAO is a very new concept to many people and there are a lot of misperceptions. Clearing up anything that is unclear will help to stop FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) which lowers the value of the whole game.
• The DAO is nothing more than a group of assets that are owned by all SPS holders, but controlled and managed by the those that have staked those assets to be able to vote.
• The DAO must have 66% of the voting stakeholders approval, plus a minimum participation. This ensures the "will of the community" since nearly 2 out of 3 votes must be to approve.
• The DAO could vote to do anything if approved. Ideas such as giving out assets in a dividend, making deals with the DEV team, buying and holding cards, staking assets to earn, paying outside DEVs to develop special projects, or even doing a marketing deal to bring in more players are possible.
• In summary, the DAO is an entity that's sole focus is to 1) gain asset value for the DAO and 2) to distribute the DAO assets in a way that creates the most value for its stakeholders (SPS). The DAO voters should care about the the whole ecosystem surviving and thriving, because ultimately that's what drives the most value over time.

Conclusion: This proposal will do a lot to help people understand the role of the DAO.

I see a lot of points already in this post about what people would like to see, changes that could be made, and essentially new ideas of how things can be done. All of them are good because it creates discussion, and discussion brings forth ideas.

Whether this particular proposal meets your individual expectations is certainly up to each person, but I myself will vote for it because I believe it is smart for the DAO to find ways to reward SPS stakers. I believe this will encourage MORE PLAYERS to want to own and stake MORE SPS over time. This is just one proposal, but the power of the concept can be repeated many times in many ways.

I'm super happy we are getting started and thanks to everyone that supports this whole project called Splinterlands! :)
