Refund Policy
- Refunding to addressess who sent funds to the ENS contract

Governance Incentives
- Looking at how to reduce costs of voting
- Might not reach quorum because gas costs of voting are so high and turn people away from placing votes
- Talking to voting providers to discuss options and their future plans/ roadmap
- Since ENS names on mainnet, makes L2 voting more difficult
- Discussion around private voting, want transparency in voting (prevents bribery etc.), but whom one delegates to could be a good use case for privacy
3. Upcoming Funding Request
- Working Group Funding
- Public Goods and Metagov to post funding tomorrow
- Need to decide on value and distribution of ENS for compensation, possily more for developers and contributors
- Asking for 100K ENS to support current budget
