Just trying to muster whatever energy I have left while recovering from COVID so here’s my voter guide! I’ve done my best to give every budget the attention it asks for (reading everything and deliberating)
tl;dr
| Workstream | Amount | Recc | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| MMM | 152.9K GTC | Yes | I am supportive of S14’s budget to give MMM some breathing space to hit its stride. Gitcoin’s brand is one of the strongest in the space and I hope to see S14 put MMM into a great position to be able to start reeling in costs come S15 and have a stronger focus. |
| KERNEL | 49K GTC | Yes | I am supportive of Kernel joining the DAO as a workstream especially with the changes proposed following my recommendation |
| FDD | 118K GTC | Abstain | As of now I am leaning towards an abstain on this season’s budget because I’m 60% in agreement with FDD’s direction and budgeting. The last week has been brutal on the market and I am of the opinion we need to buckle down our hatches. If during S14 FDD can demonstrate that there is demand for sybil defence outside of Gitcoin and provide a service, then the economics of this workstream will change drastically. |
| DAO Ops | 115K GTC | Yes | I am voting for this budget but would like to see a clearer reign on costs. Similar to the rationale behind lowering FDD’s budget, I think DAO Ops should aim to try and do more with less season by season.I see DAO Ops as similar to HR/Finance functions. So DAO Ops ideally shouldn’t take up more than 5-6% of GitcoinDAO’s entire proposed budget. Assuming nothing has changed, 115k GTC is 17% of the combined budgets of MMM, PGF, FDD, DAO Ops, and MSC. |
| MSC | 83k GTC | Yes | I think its important for Gitcoin to keep building our new ways to fund public goods and to fund ourselves. Looking forward to putting some of these tools to action! |
| Kudos | 6.6k GTC | No | I am voting no because of several reason but ultimately this cannot be a workstream in a DAO as it is its own entity already. Instead lets explore a grant leading to a future token swap. This isn’t a vote against the project itself, but against this method of getting funded. |
| dCompass | 19K GTC | No | To be this is a clear no because there’s more reserves than what is requested + the format is wrong |
