Governance Weekly Recap

Week of November 14, 2022

Summary

We’re reflecting. But only through December 7.

The Guide to Season 3 thread continues to see engagement; read up and contribute if you have something to say.

Proposals

—Still the same two we had last week. Discussion continues.

Moving to a Grants Council: A draft proposal from the Foundation to “restructure the grants process to overcome the challenges faced by committees, improve the proposer experience, create accountability for grant recipients, and reduce delegate workload.”

Protocol Delegation Program: Another draft proposal from the Foundation to “allow protocols to have a voice in governance without self-delegating grants.”

:speaking_head: Both of the above proposals will be voted on in Special Voting Cycle # 9a (December 8 - December 21).
