Week of May 8, 2023
Highlights
- Voting Cycle #12a is over, and all five proposals succeeded.
- Since the proposal for the Intent #2 budget passed, those who are interested in being Grants Council reviewers can now nominate themselves — until the deadline, which is May 17, 19:00 GMT.
- Voting Cycle #12b will start this Thursday, May 18, and run until May 31. Council reviewers will be elected during this period.
- The next voting cycle will also include a vote on the Foundation’s Year 2 budget proposal — a treasury appropriation subject to Token House approval. As the Foundation notes, the vote is mostly symbolic, as it already has the funds: “This vote is meant to introduce the Foundation budget approval process and set a precedent for future budget approvals.”
- Finally, as @lavande notes, “any Inflation Adjustment proposals will need to be posted with four delegate approvals by May 17th at 19:00 GMT” so that they can be included in Voting Cycle #12b. This includes the one from @polynya, which continues to receive commentary.
Proposals
Voting Cycle #12b will start this Thursday, as noted above. It will include Council reviewer elections, a treasury appropriation proposal from the Foundation, and any qualifying inflation adjustment proposals.
