Wow, what a great and especially detailed proposal. Fantastic that you guys put so much work in this. First thought I have, in order to keep things efficient at this point in our development is: do it, but don’t create a new workstream, become a part of the 'Decentralize Gitcoin’ WS, spearheaded by @phutchins.
I think the depth, ambition and impact of this proposal should not be underestimated but maybe it could be more effective to spin it off into becoming its own workstream in one of the next phases and live under an existing one for now? The main advantage is that it simplifies the budget side of things, it can be incorporated in an existing budget, which means less budgets to pass through every month.
Just my two gwei ofc. Curious to read more feedback here!
