Thanks for jumping in Ahmad! I’ll respond to your points in order:
- Yes, the overall budget will be important - we know already how much we’re spending right now, but how much should we spending is an important question. We’ll know a better idea of how much working groups are spending once we know what the working groups are and if they can propose a budget.
That being said, setting a max budget we can agree upon will be important for working group leaders to move forward.
- Revenue streams I think is a big topic and I would like to leave it out of at least this first session since I think its out of scope of Working Group formation and budgeting, It’s too much to cover in just 90 mins. I will point to these articles where I’ve tried to push forward on revenue streams in the past:
Revenue Streams, Platform Fees, and GIVfi v0.1
DAO Treasury Management for Giveth Multisigs
Maybe this can help us brainstorm for the future and prioritize!
- Yes, exactly. Some things in Giveth don’t have a specific end goal, but run perpetually and should have goals, budgeting etc… that reflect that.
Good point on having clear criteria, I think it’s something the WG will have to be clear about when it commences, what the terms are and what they consider their “completion metrics”. Whatever we decide for criteria it will be a balancing act of accountability vs. efficiency.
