Call Minutes
A) Small Grants - updates
The November Small Grants is now live at ensgrants.xyz. Be sure to make your submissions before 6 pm UST on November 23rd.
-
Discussion: Reducing voter fatigue with the Small Grants.
There is an awareness that frequent and continuous rounds may create voter apathy. Attendees discussed cadence, incentives, and other ways to increase engagement.- Possible incentives discussed were POAPS or NFTs to redeem merch.
- It was noted that many potential voters may be unaware of the Small Grants rounds and that cadence alone may not be the root cause of voter apathy.
- For context, there were 47 voters for the last public goods round and 108 for the Ecosystem Round
B) PG Fellowship/Award - updates
The working group will be sponsoring a Public Goods Fellowship. This program will provide a monthly stream for one year (!) to nominated individuals. The nomination period will commence on November 28th and run for one week.
