Celo Regional Council Season 1 Funding Request V2

OK looks like this is clearly passing now, which looks like a signal from the stakeholders that this program has been reshaped to be strongly aligned with the goals of Season 1.

I’m going to Abstain on procedural grounds, not the content of the proposal itself. I’m definitely not a “No” here of course, but I want to just go on record that I have some concerns about governance management and the propriety of resubmissions (I think made clear enough in all my responses to this thread).

A little bit painful to do so, because I know many of the team’s work and believe a local focused coordination layer can be useful, especially in areas where Mini apps are gaining traction.

It’s unfortunate (as mentioned by others) that this level of scrutiny came on a team with of a lot of skin in the game and past work in the ecosystem. Hopefully we can all take the time going forward to really dig into all proposals as treasury runway gets tighter and tighter. I think Season 1 will be a good test-bed for what’s working and what isn’t, so in a sense of farness it’s good that Regional Council are getting a chance to prove their worth like many other proposals who have been mainstays of governance approvals over the last couple of years.
