Community Fund: CGP 35 and how can we use those funds?

@deepak

At the same time since a big chunk is not being used currently. @Tobi is there a solution where we could reduce the fund allocation to 5% for say 1-2 years (based on a block number) and then it goes back to original %. And hopefully that should give us a chance to come up with a better solution. At at that time if have a more clear path forward - either keep the 25% or reduce to to some x% we could do it then?

@deepak I don’t think it’s possible with the way the governance contract works.

@Yaz @deepak @ericnakagawa if you see good use of the community funds in the next months or years then I agree that proposal might slow down the community development and I don’t think proposing it is a good idea anymore.

I also get the ‘temporary permanent’ argument, which I think would likely not develop that way, but I don’t know enough about governance dynamics to have a strong opinion and trust that you can better evaluate that than me.

Maybe the better decision would be to skip the temporary changes for community fund + validators, accept and closely monitor the epoch rewards downscaling, and start working on revamping the epoch rewards mechanism for better long-term incentives with higher priority.
