The increase in the Season 7 budget for the Security Council, compared to last Season, is a reflection of the clearer understanding we’ve gained regarding the responsibilities of the Security Council over the past 12 months.
This requested budget directly corresponds with the ongoing recognition of the crucial role that Security Council participants fulfil, which is further reinforced by the results of Retro Funding Round 6 and the Collective Reward Framework.
The amounts in the Season 7 SC budget are benchmarked against publicly available information on other Security Councils, taking into consideration the that the scope of each Security Council varies greatly. The Season 7 SC budget is also benchmarked against other Council budget proposals in the Optimism Collective.
