I’m encouraged by you all to have a next Celo Bus Station session (mid January? but am happy to iterate async on forum and discord) thanks @Phil and @ddd and everyone who has given feedback privately on the last session.

# URGENT

An urgent point of discussion is happening today [Celo Governance Call #81 | Dec 18th, 2025](https://forum.celo.org/t/celo-governance-call-81-dec-18th-2025/12638)

I encourage as many people as possible to have their voice heard there. Please come. I’ll be there.

A lot of discussion on Celo budgeting and the need for clarity is coming up now (on [forum](https://forum.celo.org/t/reduce-elected-validator-set-from-110-to-55/12732/30) and especially on Celo [Discord](https://discordapp.com/channels/600834479145353243/601046166620078100)) as there is a proposal to cut validators.

I am pushing for a clear public reveal of where funding goes at Celo so we can follow the Celo mission in integrity.
