Hi @celogovernance - as I understand the linked document, the second post in the thread I linked should now have sufficient information for an initial temperature check discussion in the governance call. Is this mistaken?
Hi @garm – thanks for sharing your proposal and engaging with the governance process!
You’re off to a strong start, and we appreciate your efforts. We will include your proposal in the agenda for the next Governance Call, but…
