Is completing a GOV Mission outside of the GOV RPGF round scope?

RF6 specifically rewards contributions to Optimism Governance, and under the category “Governance Infrastructure & Tooling,” it clearly states:

Not eligible: Resources for Governance Onboarding, including documentation, educational videos, or any other resources aimed at explaining Optimism Governance.

Similarly, under the category “Governance Leadership,” the guidelines specify:

Not-Eligible: Governance onboarding and promotion initiatives.

Based on this, it appears your project aligns with the criteria deemed “not eligible.”

While I understand that there currently isn’t an RF round that directly supports this type of project, and I agree that this is a gap that could be addressed by the Foundation, it does not justify applying to a round where the project doesn’t fit, as that would mean breaking the rules.
