This weekly post has the ambition to summarise what’s been going on in the Gitcoin DAO Governance. Topics, ideas, proposals, and votes will be listed with links for further reading and discussion. If there’s anything missing please reach out! 
Meta-Governance
-
The third Gitcoin Monthly Steward sync was held on August 2. @Anett provided the agenda and notes from the call. A recording is coming through soon!
-
The DAO calendar continues to be updated with relevant workstream events, if you see anything missing please suggest it!
-
@Anett proposed an initiative that was brought up on the Stewards call #3: “The idea to host unconference sessions is to meet stewards & friends and have informal chats together, share memes, share whatever we want. The outcome should be to build relationships as the DAO moves faster when people know each other and it helps create a more friendly atmosphere.”
-
Illustrations were added to the v1 governance post and a new mapping of the GitcoinDAO ecosystem was published by @Zargham. “The goal of this document is to provide a preliminary mapping of the critical operational functions of the GitcoinDAO pursuant to GitcoinDAO’s stated purpose, and in particular the interplays between the various stakeholders.”
-
The budget proposal for the Public Goods Funding Workstream has been put to vote and passed, making it the first workstream allocation confirmed by stewards.
-
The vote to ratify the “oneGTC: A $GTC Backed Economy”-proposal did not pass. The proposal thread has received a lot of feedback and input from the community. Yalor closed the topic as the deadline for the voted passed.
-
@Sirlupinwatson hosted a call on possible ways to improve the Gitcoin community with a discussion around the Mini Grants Community Events proposal.
-
The discussion of a Second Claim Window for $GTC was closed by @Yalor due to inactivity.
