An update on this. I received feedback from a few stewards via direct messages that this proposal makes initial sense and is worth putting to a community vote. It identifies a hole in GTC token allocations for contractors who performed work for Gitcoin Core that did not stay long enough for a 1-year cliff (stakeholder allocations) and were not paid out on the Gitcoin platform (GMV allocations). However, if a proposal like this were to go through it should make sure to cover all individuals in this situation.
Proposal update: This proposal is to retroactively allocate GTC to contractors who performed work for Gitcoin Core that did not stay long enough for a 1-year cliff and were not paid out on the Gitcoin platform. It will calculate a token allocation based on the compensation previously paid out as if those funds were distributed via a Bounty or a Grant on the Gitcoin platform. This will provide the contractors with the same opportunity for involvement in GitcoinDAO goverance that the many other devs who performed work-for-hire jobs on the Gitcoin platform, and who received a GTC allocation, enjoy.
@owocki Were there other contractors that contributed to Gitcoin that did not stay long enough for a 1-year cliff and were not paid out via the Gitcoin platform? If so, can you share their names and contact info here or in a private message so that I can reach out and coordinate around this proposal?
