Financial Proposal: A Path to Decentralised Governance (dGov S1 COMPLETE)

June 2022 dGov Report

At today’s date dGov has 31 identified functional roles. DAO contributors across every guild have stepped up to support the S1 dGov Community Mission. Thank you to everyone that has rallied!

June was quite on the governance support mission #1 with only three Charter Improvement Proposals (CIP) currently under discussion CIP 0 CIP 1 CIP 2 but as teams on all sides prep for S2 financial proposals and at least three Charter Improvement Proposals moving to vote: July is looking to busy. How busy? Check out the S1 Governance Transparency & Key Dates

Changes to funding allocation

In the proposal, it was indicated that every participant would be rewarded via coordinape. This has now changed.

  1. In June, due to the cross-functional nature and many moving parts of the dGov efforts, it seemed highly unlikely that people would have the bandwidth to build context about governance support across every guild. Such context is needed to effectively allocate GIVE to others via coordinape. As such I decided to provide fixed incentives tied to very specific deliverables and success metrics rather than reward via coordinape.

  2. After receiving $2550 for rewards for the entire month of May via the advisory coordinape circle I have removed the funding I budgeted for core dGov from the circle mechanism to fix a 5k per month reward. While I will participate in coordinape circles to allocate and receive GIVE I would not be funded via the dGov advisory or community circles.

I am keen to hear from anyone that feels these changes are not ok, or out of order. The funding now looks like this:

  • Core: Fixed reward @lee0007
  • Flexible: DeWork (17)
  • Advisory: coordinape experiment here
  • Community: July begin testing coordinape
