I would like to see every team member on this page http://bitshares.org/community/team/ apply to become a paid delegate after the hard fork. It would greatly increase transparency and understanding of the average shareholder about what exactly is being done, and who is doing it, and will MASSIVELY increase shareholder confidence and demand. I don't think anyone has ever seen a company structure like this before, the level of transparency will be absolutely revolutionary. Once the entire team has been integrated as paid delegates, it will provide an excellent showcasing to new developers that might be interested in working for the blockchain.
Obviously it should only be those who are actually working now, and being paid a salary out of AGS funds that should get on as paid delegates. We also need to figure out some proper ways for setting the salary that mitigates developers having their salary lowered if the price tanks.
Also every paid delegate should make a public "Transparency strategy" that they have to strictly follow. I think the best would be for each delegate to have their own forum thread and then posting a work report once per week, where they outline everything they've worked on in a way that is verifiable by stakeholders.
In fact they should have two, one in the public forum where they summarize, and one in the large stakeholder board where they reveal every detail of their work that is sensitive due to competitive or business reasons.
With this strategy it should be possible for us to scale the development and marketing team basically to infinite size, because stakeholders will be able to supervise and manage them extremely effectively.
