ENS tokenholders voted in favor of a proposal to transform the ENS Foundation into a staffed organization, appointing a full-time executive director and a five-member board. The proposal also transferred on-chain control of the DAO's endowment to this new structure. The vote passed with approximately 1.27 million ENS tokens in support and around 480,690 against. Notably, co-founder Alex Van de Sande voted against the proposal after analyzing the executable, citing concerns that the DAO's control chain would be diminished or disappear. This governance shift aims to provide a more centralized operational framework for ENS, potentially impacting how the project manages its resources and decision-making processes.
The transfer of control to a staffed foundation signifies a move towards more centralized governance, which could influence the project's future development and resource management.
