Following discussions in the recent governance call and understanding the current budget priorities and discussions around tokenomics, the Score Management Committee has decided to **maintain the current five-member decentralized structure** rather than reducing the team size to three members. We believe that a 5-member committee provides stronger decentralization and security, requiring any 3 of 5 approvals (3/5 multisig) instead of just 2 of 3 (2/3 multisig) in a smaller team.

More importantly, the committee operates **five independent scoring services running in parallel** , each managed by different members. This multi-instance setup provides multiple sources of truth, resilience, and transparent validator scoring.

To align with the tighter budget environment, we propose **lowering the monthly compensation from $2,000 to $1,500 per committee member** for the next 6-month term. This approach preserves the full five-member committee and maintains decentralization benefits while adapting to funding realities.

While this adjustment means reduced funding overall, we remain fully committed to:

- Continuing core validator scoring, uptime monitoring, and dispute resolution services without interruption;
- Progressing on automation development, though at a slightly slower pace due to limited resources.

We appreciate the community’s ongoing support and collaboration and look forward to continuing to serve the Celo network with transparency and accountability.
