[Community Vote] Grants/Funding Strategy for S7

[Jengajojo]

@links

are you asking for another bonus in addition to the 250K seasonal GC bonus?

Yes, the 250K BANK was a test to see if it can incentivize the GC to fulfil the following mandate according to S5 CV:

@Jengajojo

“process improvements to the Grants Committee, initiate an evolution of the Grants Committee mandate or initiate an evolution of the DAO as a whole within the mandate of the Grants Committee.”

We made this poll to test if the 250K comp for this work is enough or if it should be more. In the past GCs have not been transparent enough with how this bonus would be paid, which is why we suggested KPIs.

The job of the GC is to review grant applications, not to write forum proposals, so why should there be additional funding for writing forum proposals?

Proposals here are only written outputs of the whole process of discussions, feedback and suggesting changes which took all GC members several hours. In contrast to previous seasons, the GC held regular strategy sessions each week along with async work in smaller groups to come up with these suggestions.

As GC lead last season, I spent 5 hours/wk with a bunp to 10h/wk during seasonal funding time (2 weeks). I’m confused as how this GC spent MORE time than that while reviewing LESS grant applications. Perhaps there should be a poll to reduce GC funding based on this criteria?

I agree with you that base comp should be a function of the number of applications reviewed. However this ask deals with

This bonus salary should compensate for Grants Committee members who e.g. initiate process improvements to the Grants Committee, initiate an evolution of the Grants Committee mandate or initiate an evolution of the DAO as a whole within the mandate of the Grants Committee.
