@coltron.eth: Should amount of spending on public goods go up or down or stay the same?
High-bar for Large Grants, could always use more high quality projects
More projects willing to pay out small grants to, need to bring awareness to programs
Need to see if Builder Grants platform takes off, brings more builders to ENS PG
Request to see more transparency in BG platform like in Questbook; will give feedback to BG team
@coltron.eth: Hunch that large grants funding amount not enough, need to double to see more high quality projects surface
DAO thrifty early on, need to see what appetite DAO has for spending when discussing DAO budget, especially given current market
@mel.eth: Value in giving ENS as voting delegation to recipients as well as budget; keep long-term alignment
Have already done in governance distribution program with Large grant recipients
Meta-gov is working on a unified gov distribution policy
Discussion arond barbell strategy of grants: few projects with lots of funding, lots of projects with small amounts of funding
Discussion around incentives to keep projects going, not just fund initial build, many ways to approach including significant funding
6. Open Floor
Milestones submitted via Questbook before Christmas will get paid out this year
