How does that work in terms of operation, team members, projects, and funding allocations with the ENS DAO / Governance / Funds ? I am new to the discussion forum format and DAO funding allocations.

@cryptomonkey42069 A quick explanation of the operational path from subgroup to funding is below:

1. Subgroups are formally requested. (Community Subgroup Request
2. Lead contributor proposes a budget to the working group with clearly defined goals and objectives (Resource Request Template)
3. Working Group Stewards compile budget twice per term and submit it for a DAO vote.
4. Funding is disbursed by multi-sig as terms or deliverables are met satisfactorily.

The Community Working Group has a dashboard with some possibly relevant info. We are currently in a budgeting phase and are making last-minute changes. I anticipate putting our budget for social review this evening 02/25. There will be two voting processes beginning on the 28th to approve this budget, so there is time for amendments.

In our steward meeting today we talked about the creation of a Marketing Subgroup. This is definitely necessary, but it might be worthwhile to wait until the manager redesign is completed. In the mean time we will likely use discretionary funds for minor marketing-related objectives.

As a steward, I’d love to see a group of DAO members identify a lead contributor, compose clearly defined objectives and marketing plan, and identify budgetary needs so that we can get the funding approved by the DAO.
