Governance update: July 2023

July 10 update:
The Gitcoin Steward Council elections is scheduled to move into nominations this week and we have a exceptionally diverse slate of candidates with a couple more final confirmations coming in. Once all workstreams are settled on their nominees, we will post up the final list on the forum and move to vote after 5 business days on the forum.

Last week
To note, our snapshot account is not currently calculating final results on our snapshot page, however the results below are calculatable based on the actual votes. Two votes are impacted by this calculation issue and both votes have closed. The Snapshot team has identified the issue and is working on a fix.

Last week we saw the passage of Ratify the Results of Gitcoin’s Beta Round and Formally Request the Community Multisig Holders to Payout Matching Allocations which moves us closer to completing the Beta rounds as well as [GCP-013] Seed Universal Impact Pools, a $60K matching pool partnership with Endaoment.
