[5.4.1] [Social] Funding Request: ENS Meta-Governance Working Group Term 5 (Q1/Q2)

[SpikeWatanabe.eth]

noway, so you are saying that they’ve distributed 40kENS as compensation for the previous term?

@5pence.eth

Governance: Fee reimbursements and initiatives related to reducing friction in the governance process. This can also include $ENS distributed in order to lower barriers to the governance proposal process.

I don’t know about you folks, but this doesn’t read as Steward compensation. Also I read though this thread again, people were questioning very carefully what the compensation would be, for example this here

@lefterisjp

I would also like to understand how that $276,000 is used. What’s the per per steward, per secretary and per scribe stipend?

and suddenly it turns out there is a “secret bonus” of 40kENS.

Also I have a question about conflict of interest here, at the time of writing @simona_pop @Coltron.eth @5pence.eth @slobo.eth are effectively voting in favour of own compensation. So much for COI management, how about best practices and reclusing from COI decision making @nick.eth ?

I know that technically they are voting for metagov compensation, but “rising tide” raises all boats, aren’t they supposed to recognise that there is conflict of interest and recluse themselves from that decision making?

I’m also going to vote NO on Public good budget, at this stage I don’t fully understand what is going on with money part there, maybe there are some hidden compensation there as well.
