West Wind Update
The West Wind update was given by Crown.
~ The West Wind had a discussion with Blabs. Another one is coming up on Wednesday and a link will dropped for interested members to RSVP. It's an opportunity for members to know what it's about, learn and earn banks while doing research works.
~kingIBK thanked the role holders for their updates and encouraged members to check the dework for active tasks and vote on the polls set up.
He raised the issue of the update of the research start-here channel and asked for a clarification to be made on whose role it is to keep the page up-to-date before the next meeting
~Vickyone suggested that the guild meeting time should also be updated for new members and other bDAO members that may be interested. A link to the notion page should also be made available for easy accessibility to the guild's infor
~On the issue of budget clarification, Aloy said that most calculations and deductions have been made to arrive at a figure for the grant committee. Using the grant committee’s formula and 27 active members for the 16 week season (4 months), a total of 668,640k bank is budgeted for S8; 512k bank for role holder salaries, 16k bank for meeting facilitators and note takers; there's an ongoing plan to revive the member of the month award with 12k bank being budgeted to be sent to the South pod for disbursement; 100k bank for coordinape and the remaining 32,640 bank to be used as bounty for work groups (members of the guild working on a particular research project e.g stable coin).
~The North pod proposed that some funds be removed from coordinape and added to the money meant for work group/bounty.
~Aloy’s effort in creating the budget and it's breakdown was appreciated and Vickyone asked for clarification on any change in the framework used for role holders and bounty payment.
~Crown claimed to be okay with the projected budget while KingIBK clarified that the difference in the framework used is limited to the number of weeks I.e the increase from 12 to 16 weeks.
~ Cellevista noted that a particular amount hasn't been said to be removed from the from the amount set aside for coordinape and added to the amount meant for work groups (there are two existing workgroups and a further two to be added).
~The issue of a tight budget was raised latsan and having more active members at least in the learner role (an estimate of 30-35) can help alleviate this issue.
~After further discussion, a sum of 8,000k bank was agreed to be removed over the 4 periods of the coordinape for elasticity in the work groups actions and to ensure enough available funds over the season. This would leave about 23,000k bank for each coordinape period. It was seconded by ETrinity.
~ A need for clarification on the roles of note takers and meeting facilitators and the amount to be paid to them was raised by Aloy and ETrinity. A consensus was reached that the roles be kept seperate to avoid distracting or burdening the facilitators to also act as note takers and 500 bank should be paid to each member in that role(with no pay required if a role holder performs any of the above roles). This was seconded by ETrinity, KingIBK and gahbby.
~ Aloy later said that the North pod will still go over the collation of the budget so that everything would be finalized today/tomorrow for members to vote.
~More information on the S8 budget can be gotten from the S8 proposal channel (latsan has tagged members of the guild) and members can check the thread to get involved in the discussion. The budget is due to be sent to the Grants committee on Thursday and a consensus should be reached on time.
