[DRAFT PROPOSAL]: Moving to a Grants Council

[Prometheus]

@lefterisjp

There is considerable work involved as a delegate even if you are not in a council/committee and the governance process relies on delegates performing that work. Right now it’s done pro bono. This is wrong.

I agree but unless I didn’t understand the change proposed I don’t think this matters in the future. Most of the work is to be done by the Council, delegates will just oversight (no need to spend much time reading grant proposals and so on since they will not vote on them anymore, they will only oversight).

@system

Non-Council delegates will no longer vote on each grant proposal. Instead, they will elect Council members and, if the Council continues in future Seasons, approve the Council budget. Throughout the Season, non-Council delegates will serve the important role of oversight on the Council and voting on other proposal types, such as protocol upgrades.

I don’t completely dislike this kind of solution since it provides the relief delegates wanted but from a decentralization perspective this is bad. Anyway, I hope the best for the Grants Council since the responsibility is much higher for them. It was an interesting experiment.
