Season 5 Voting Time!

The Snapshot vote for Season 5 wrapped up on Sunday, October 27. Here’s the final results of the weighted vote:

We had the Giveth Governance call the following day to discuss the voting outcome and ratify the scopes for Season 5 of Working Groups. The audio recording can be downloaded here. These are the final outcomes:

  • Fundraising - GROW :arrow_upper_right:
  • GIVeconomy - SUSTAIN :arrow_right:
  • Quadratic Funding - SUSTAIN :arrow_right:
  • DAO Ops - SUSTAIN :arrow_right:
  • Dapp - SHRINK* :arrow_lower_right:

However with the following changes and conditions:

Fundraising

  • Won’t send Jake to DevCon, too late of notice to make happen.
  • Will prioritize more senior leadership participation in grants review and writing.

@JakeS might have more to add on additional details I might have overlooked.

Dapp

  • Will still execute certain elements of the Sustain version’s community and communications deliverables, such as:
    • Ambassador Program S3
    • Google Ads Campaign
    • 200 Giveth Zora NFT mints (increased from 50 mints on proposal, since we’ve already surpassed that amount :dizzy_face: )

You can view the original proposal here. The changes might amount to an extra ~7k in spending on the Dapp, bringing the total estimated DAO wide spending for Season5 to be around ~$189k, under our agreed maximum budget of $200k.


Additional GIVernance changes.

This Season will last until January 1st, 2025. However moving forward we will extend the length of future season’s by 1 month, to 4 month durations. This will allow more time to execute on proposals and less yearly admin overhead. There will be then 3 Seasons a year instead of 4, Season 6 for example will last from Jan 1st - April 30th, 2025.
