I am pleased to share that the recent Grants Council vote to reward @Bunnic for his outstanding contributions has been approved. @Bunnic, who supported me during a transitional period, has been instrumental in our operations.
When I was appointed as lead, @Bunnic generously lent his assistance without expecting compensation, leveraging his skills to support our data management needs. Despite the absence of a formal appointment, @Bunnic’s contributions have been invaluable in ensuring the smooth functioning of the Grants Council operations.
@Bunnic’s responsibilities encompass a wide array of crucial tasks, including:
- Transferring data from Charmverse to a Google Sheet after each phase: submission, intake, preliminary, and final.
- Restructuring workspaces for each Grants Committee member at the end of each phase: submission, intake, preliminary, and final.
- Transferring contact and address information of finalists to a Google Sheet for Foundation use.
- Generating an updated version of the public tracker for the Grants Council lead to verify.
- Reassigning applications where reviewers had conflicts.
- Swiftly addressing issues within Charmverse, such as reviewers unable to update the “ToDo” status.
Despite the absence of a formal appointment, @Bunnic’s dedication and swift adaptation to the tasks at hand have significantly improved our workflow, benefiting everyone involved.
Under the collective’s ethos of retroactive compensation based on impact, the Grant Council has unanimously voted to award @Bunnic’s 2000 OP in recognition of his significant contributions.
