The Guided Open Objective Setting Exercise (“GOOSE”) proposal; A genesis step to jump-start a DAO-wide goal setting exercise and cadence

For transparency, I plan on making another GOOSE proposal in this cycle.

It will be a short post for a few reasons

  • I think 3-year goals from original GOOSE have not changed
  • It’s only a few months since we adjusted to the changing environment of restaking, possible MVI, and preconfirmations. I believe the direction there is still good, and changing goals again too quickly comes at a cost to the organization.

I am toying with some ideas to complement the existing roadmap, but overall, it will probably be a “stay the current course while investigating what we should do next” type of update.

I also want to acknowledge @Tane and @zk1t that writing a full strategy for the DAO sounds hard. However, we found it necessary for the process because goals are impossible to evaluate individually—they must fit into available resources, focus on a small surface for maximum impact, and synergize well with each other. That’s why GOOSE goals can be very high-level, precisely so a single proposer can keep it all in their head.

However, if you’re still not interested in writing a full set of goals and want to ensure individual ideas are heard, you can contribute them in this thread or send them to me on Telegram. Then, I will consider them in my proposal.
