Preventing Round Manager Corruption

[codingshot]

Based on the current design of potlock their is room for round manager corruption. This includes

• Rejecting application / approving application (get off-chain kick backs)
• Not approving milestones (could leverage projects to approve)
• Not approving in timely fashion

Solutions

• Reputation based system
• DAO is currently able to revemo round managers
• Rejection of applications are required to put a reason so other round managers can do dilligence. Also all rejections to a round are displayed on BOS components so others can learn from how to do better applications but also hold round manager accountable. Additionally round managers and fees they get from round are also transparency

Undesigned solutions

• Council switching who a round manager is after wrong doing or lack of activity.
• Bad actors SBT

They must have a reputation, this is where I-AH-HUMAN will be very important!

What if we create a reward/fund system for good actors working hand in hand with the existing verification mechanism(IAH)
