Regarding elections - I agree that running a full election every year isn’t ideal. It’s a neutral operational role meant to execute the will of the DAO, not a governing or political office as Peter pointed out. That said, removing the election entirely would create more friction than it avoids, especially at this time. People have made it very clear that they want an election this year, and giving the DAO an explicit choice matters for legitimacy, particularly after the way last year’s transition played out.
As for the role itself - while we rely on our advisors for the heavy lifting, the admin role still involves constant judgment calls across legal, tax, accounting, and operational issues. Those decisions directly affect cost and risk for the entire DAO. I can understand why some might think the role could be handled by a single admin with a part-time backup. In practice though, the scope of work, constant inflow of requests from DAO members, lack of real downtime, and the level of public scrutiny that comes with the position make that structure less fitting in my opinion.
