Disclosure: I'm NOT a core contributors, simply part of the broader community.
Extremely good points were raised in the comment so far!
My two cents on this is that at the pace of the project, markets and Web3 ecosystem, decisions inevitably need to be made swiftly for various reasons (market conditions, new regulations off-chain, new investors, new clients, ...) as stated in this proposal.
Of course providing such power to few people create centralization which is against the whole DAO philosophy in many ways. But, I believe a functional and trustable "by the book" DAO takes time to build around a stable well working protocol and evolving community. Lets not forget we are 6 months old.
We are all working on not only building a sustainable protocol with this immense goal of combating climate change but also building products interfacing with various entities (corporate, individual, contributors, ...). I believe that such endeavor require to be able to adapt quickly and have room to change and innovate without requesting 1 week of debates and voting on each single initiative.
As a community, we simply must trust the core teams to do a proper job with strong accountability and a well defined transparency framework so our trust does not erode over time. There is no way around that else we would all be on the council.
I do understand that the whole point of a DAO here is that holders are ultimately in charge but maybe there is a balance we can all find here which is what is being proposed until the project becomes strong and stable?
In my honest opinion, until KLIMA has a marketcap of 1B$ (arbitrary high number as an image) and is fairly stable in terms of revenue streams and mass adoption, I believe it is OK to consolidate some decision making to the core teams and once we reached that stable point, we can move back to a strong decentralize DAO when fast changes and daily rapid responses become less frequent.
In short, we can stick to psycho-rigid maxims of "A DAO is such and such because that was once written like that" or allow ourselves to work towards "Our DAO is what we want it to be" and it is OK to deviate from the great book of DAOs. This is what essentially I understand from this KIP considering the incredibly unique context and project that KlimaDAO is.
I believe many comments here raise good issues and I would love to see them address such as https://forum.klimadao.finance/d/48-request-for-comment-internal-governance-model-kip-19/2
Once polished and clarified, I think this KIP is something that makes sense in the very unique context of KlimaDAO.
Go KlimaDAO! Go Community! This project is fantastic.
