1. General DAO Updates
ENS NYC Happy Hour
- An ENS event during ETHNewYork is happening on September 23rd from 6-9pm (ET).
- Tickets will be via NFT.
- Keep an eye on forum post ENS Happy Hour @ ETH NY 2023 for updates, or attend the Ecosystem WG call on Thursday.
Upcoming Proposals
- Two proposals are expected during September ENS DAO Voting Window:
- Karpatkey will post a proposal for the Endowment’s second tranche of funding on the forum.
- Invalid Name Refund Proposal.
Forum: 2. Grants Updates (Small, Growth, Large)
Discussion: Small Grants
- Small grants have been delayed until next week.
- The technology of the voting system is still being worked on.
- Discussion topics included:
- Possible methods for voter list additions: data scraping past small grants submission, manual addition, and by forum application.
- The advantages and disadvantages to making the ERC1155 non-transferrable.
- Possibility to open for submissions on 11th September, ahead of the NFT distribution.
- Stewards will sync with Greg in the coming days to confirm various options.
- A forum post about small grants will be made in the lead-up to the release of key information.
Discussion: Large and Growth Grants
- It was proposed to merge growth and large grants into a single pool with a flexible budget cap.
- A more flexible system, over use of fixed amounts for grants, includes allowing the submitter to assign their requested value.
- Differing amounts requested will lead to various levels of evaluation.
- Example: Optimism grants under a certain amount require fewer approval processes or lockup.
- The idea of a Public Goods Calendar, including grants information, was suggested to provide clear communication to projects.
