Discussion
Discussion - S5 KPIs for Projects
KPI Process for Projects was started last season…here’s what each Grants Committee member has to do to keep it up this season:
- Check out which projects you’re responsible for on Project List
- For each project above…
- Check whether or not the multisig is recorded in the Project List
- Check whether or not their KPIs are filled in for S4 here: S4 Project KPI Measurements
- Check whether or not they have KPIs defined for S5: S5 Project KPI Measurements
- For the info that is missing for your projects, find or create a thread under #grants-committee for the project and tag the project champion to get the info we need
- Ensure all of the info is updated in the docs mentioned above (S4/S5 KPI Measures and Project List)
Current Active Projects missing Reviewers:
- Bankless Loans (p8ul.eth)
- bDAO Legal Entity Wrapper Research (links)
- First Quests (0xRene)
Current projects that are missing S4 KPIs:
- Bankless Brasil (
)
- bDAO Legal Entity Wrapper Research (?)
- Crypto Sapiens (
)
- International Media Nodes (
)
- Website Project (@james Montgomery)
Some notes on S5 KPIs
- can you try to make the KPIs on separate rows? counterexamples: infosec team and podcast hatchery have multiple KPIs on the same row
Discussion: Current Async Project Votes
What about projects who ask for things other than BANK (i.e. we need to convert to BANK), or KPIs not defined?
- GM Bus and DomainDAO asked for USD/ETH and not BANK, so we need to agree upon a BANK amount
- GM Bus Media campaign needed some KPI measures
ACTION: jengajojo to add some wording around when the grants reviewer opens the poll (i.e. some discretion for the above cases) AND for Project Champion escalation if needed
Can we make a polls thread to make it easier to keep up-to-date on active polls?
Active async polls:
- Tokenomics levelling up: https://discord.com/channels/834499078434979890/1013891484728164472/1013892197738881147
Discussion - Rug Funding Adjustment
VOTE: Do you agree to fund 800,000 BANK as stated in the previous proposal with the KPIs mentioned previously?
- Yes: jameswmontgomery, p8ul.eth, jengajojo.eth, rene, links
- No:
- Abstain:
THIS MOTION PASSES
Discussion - Refine async voting “end”
Recommend:
1. If all members have cast a vote, the poll is concluded immediately
1a. If the poll is a tie, the poll remains open until time expires or a vote is changed to break the tie
2. If 7 days has passed, the poll is concluded
VOTE: do you agree to adopt the ending criteria for asynchronous voting procedure as described above
- Yes: jameswmotgomery, p8ul.eth, jengajojo.eth, rene, links
- No:
- Abstain:
THIS MOTION PASSES
ACTION: james to migrate and amend the async voting procedure
Discussion - Grants Mandate/Purpose
ACTION: all grants committee members to think about our mandate and purpose, and bring it to the next meeting
Discussion - Gating Forum Proposals
Currently our Discourse forum is open to everyone - you don’t need to be a member to vote in forum proposals. You can create a new accounts and vote. It’s anonymous
- this is just the technology limitation of Discourse
- it’s possible to create gated Discord roles - but then forum proposals would need to make discord polls
- also we would need to update the proposal template to give people guidance on how to do this
ACTION: links to create a proposal to move forum voting to Discord
Discussion - Auto-Guild Funding
- potentially have projects list which guilds they take talent from
- then guilds with more demand have more potential funding?
- similar: we have guilds who have expert skills vs beginner skills, does the expert guild get more funding?
- if we DO this, it could have a long-term effect and create have vs have-not guilds
