Hi @celomexico
Thanks for writing a Regional DAO Draft - and welcome to the Celo ecosystem!
Before moving to a vote, you’ll need at least two Celo PG stewards to signal readiness to move the proposal forward. The proposal must also have been on the forum for at least seven days. All process details can be viewed in the CeloPG Hub.
My initial feedback
- I want to compliment you on the completeness of your proposal. The scope and details are good.
- I’m unsure yet if and how Celo Mexico can live alongside Celatam. While they might have some overlap in focus, I think your specific focus on Mexico is different enough from Celatam to continue iterating on your proposal.
- I see clear value in Mexico’s regional importance and potential. I’m also interested that you have a long-term idea for Celo Mexico.
My main reservation is the size of the budget asked, especially given that this is your first proposal to Celo. Would it be possible to slim down the proposal on all fronts? Some suggestions:
- Reduce the scope of DAO Ops so the budget can go down significantly (looking at more like 20-30% of what you have now),
- Reduce the sponsorship slot size for Eth MX or Tulum Crypto Fest. I can even imagine only sponsoring one of the two (whichever you see as higher impact) and just representing and maybe hosting a smaller (and cheaper) networking side event at, for example, Tulum Crypto Fest.
- The travel and misc budget seems high. Are you currently not in Mexico, and will you have to fly in from abroad?
- I would not do the Builderthon now and mainly focus on supporting Eth Mexico.
I hope you’re able to iterate on the proposal. It’s better to start small and overdeliver than to rush things!
Finally, it’s also possible to apply for the Regen Coorindation Gitcoin Grants program as a Celo Regional DAO - to get started with that read this announcement and register your DAO here.
