Epic, constructive, valuable feedback. I’ve noticed you did a solid job reviewing other rounds as well 
Big vision
Same here. We are in agreement. We are intentionally focusing on ambitious projects. An article that describes moonshot thinking: Google X Head on Moonshots: 10X Is Easier Than 10 Percent | WIRED
WIP and constant improvement
Using industry standard tools is no-brainer. Another no-brainer is asking participating projects about their existing impact metrics. Due to intentionally broad scope of the round (building blocks of civilisation) there is no one-size-fits-all, the metrics of participating projects are likely to be different.
Donations from outside the core community
Me too. No guarantees. I would love to make it success regardless 
You prompted me to update the marketing plan document:
Reaching to Game B / New Earth / system change audiences and communities. Not relying on just the existing community / audience but broadening the network.
Both accounts have 100k+ followers:
I genuinely see GG22 as the marketing / community / movement building vehicle and I’m pretty sure the numbers will increase after the round.
Advisor / judge / juror update
Today, as I’m writing these words is already Saturday, September 28… It appears that it might be too late to strengthen the advisory / judging / juror team, worth trying anyway as the explicit permission have been granted now.

Once again thank you @thedevanshmehta for thoughtful comments, in fact I would love your inquisitive mind to be applied to review the applicants… Maybe you remember, we met 2023 in Paris at Funding the Commons and our discussion inspired me to create this post: Measuring impact — EA bias towards numbers? — Planetary Council
Some things are inherently difficult to quantify, especially when estimating 2nd 3rd 4th order effects and “unknown unknowns”. Currently I’m also involved in IEF and I double down on the “inherently difficult to quantify”: https://t.me/ImpactEval/1305 (if anyone is into impact evaluation please join our chat BTW)
There is surely some value from running big / massive / impactful / inspirational (some people refer to this as “blue sky thinking”) round like this: TO INSPIRE OTHERS, TO THINK BIGGER.
See the example of Planetary Council vision of a massive success:
