I don’t know if it’s relevant to the DAO, but WikiLeaks announced that Julian Assange filed a criminal complaint against the Nobel Foundation.

They do have a news category here.
I was going to say I hope everyone enjoys their break from work over the holiday season. I know not all of you may believe in the same spiritual stuff (or if at all). I wish everyone some joy and rest though because the world really needs some right now.
Its quite a significant move by Julian and an important one. The Nobel Peace prize is obviously a joke now. But I guess his action also means he has kissed his pardon bid a goodbye too. Retaliation would be the result of this principled legal action .
Any DAO proposal we had regarding his Pardon bid though should be reexamined, reprioritised as Julian won’t be getting a pardon in the near future as a result of his own stand IMO.
The DAOs focus could support this move instead perhaps ie promote the legal action to fix the interference in the Nobel Prize selection processes. But Im not sure if that is the DAOs purpose.
Refer back to how many DAO proposals revolved around his Pardon bid - I think they can be shelved for the time being. DT won’t be granting him this. The DAO needs to fix its financial future and get a marketable project up and running. List of Draft Proposals
