Grants Council Self-Nomination Template

Please link to your Optimist Profile or Organization ID here.

Please link to any contributions that demonstrate you meet the eligibility criteria outlined in the Charter for the specific Grants Council team you’re applying for:

  • S6 GovNERD:
    Since Season 5, I’ve contributed across various tasks, and at the end of Season 6, I was selected as a GovNERD alongside @Pumbi and @alexsotodigital.

  • S5 Ops for GC:
    During Season 5, I began contributing to GC Operations, learning the processes, and completing numerous tasks required by the GC (details in the link). My contributions were recognized with a unanimous vote by the GC members to reward me with 2000 OP.

  • S6 Ops for GC:
    In Season 6, I expanded my responsibilities within the limits of a non-elected GC member, completing over 450 tasks (a conservative estimate, as tracking started in late July). For my contributions during S6, I was awarded half the budget allocated for S6 Ops. These tasks included (but where not limited to):

    • Creating/updating application forms and rubrics (Standard, Superchain, Audits, ASPs).
    • Distributing and assigning tasks among GC members (Standard, Superchain, Audits).
    • Managing 15+ Charmverse workspaces (GC, Audits, rotating DAB member).
    • Maintaining Public Databases, DAB feedback reports, Foundation Reports, and the information for the Public Tracker.
    • Reporting/debugging issues in CV for communication to the relevant team.
    • Addressing exceptions arising from 344+ applications and assisting in the coordination of 15 members across 5 teams (3 Reviewer Teams, Superchain, Audits).
    • Providing the GC Lead with regular updates to ensure deadlines were consistently met.

Please verify that you have no conflicts of interest: I confirm that I have no conflicts of interest.

Please verify that you understand you may be removed from this role via the Representative Removal proposal type in the Operating Manual: I confirm I understand.

Please verify that you understand KYC will be required to receive Council rewards at the end of Season 7: I confirm I understand.

Please verify that you understand you may need to sign an agreement with the Foundation prior to onboarding: I confirm I understand.

Please verify that you are able to commit ~120 hours per month (30 hours per week) for the Operations role: I confirm I am able to commit 120 hours per month to Council operations.

I strongly recommend Bunnic for the Operations role in the Grants Council. Having worked closely with him over the past year, I can attest to his dedication, reliability, and deep understanding of the Council’s processes.

Bunnic has excelled in managing forms, rubrics, trackers, and deadlines, completing over 450 tasks in Season 6 alone. His bilingual proficiency in Spanish has been invaluable during ops calls, simplifying communication and coordination.

I personally trained Bunnic and can confidently say he meets the role’s demands of availability, precision, and autonomy. His expertise and commitment make him the perfect fit for this position.
