I was doing some thinking about "The DAO", reviewing the facts and evidence about the situation.
Just because it August and not a lot happens in August, because everyone is on their annual holidays
One of the fundamental building blocks of legal laws and ethics related to economic activity is:
All parties must act in Good Faith in economic dealsParty A - Ethereum Foundation has fulfilled this requirement, by implementing a fork, too ensure Ethereum investors in "The DAO" have recovered their stolen ETH.
Good Faith e.g. recovery of stolen funds for all Parties.
Part B
The DAO, have discharged their obligations to recover the stolen ETH and contacted relevant Parties (Ethereum Foundation) to achieve this objective.
Good Faith e.g. achieving the recovery of stolen funds and contacting relevant Parties.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The DAO mandate-------------------------------------------------------
The DAO mandate: is to maximise the valuation of "The DAO" price and to maximise the valuation of ETH price.
This gives the authority to people running "The DAO" to take actions that increase the valuation of the tokens and ETH.
Under, this latter mandate, the recovery of
obsolete unsupported ETC can be done, so long as the ETC is disposed off, in order to maximise the valuation of "The DAO" and ETH.
Of course, people will disagree with this, but it is August and I'm sure everyone not on holiday is pretty bored
