I’ve voted in support of this proposal. As I’ve mentioned in previous forum discussions, I think experimenting with funding “squads” in the Radicle ecosystem and giving them agency to deploy the capital on their own terms into the ecosystem is a really great practice. The EGF will be the perfect opportunity to identify best practices for operating community-run Treasury-funded initiatives and reflect on how we can scale these experiments to manage larger amounts of funds deployed by more independent entities. I have full trust that @nas is going to knock it out of the park and I’m really impressed with the team he’s formed around him to take this on

Things I’ll be looking for at the end of the 6 months:

• An overview on what was funded
• A reflection on perceived impact of funded initiatives
• An honest evaluation of what worked and what didn’t
• Feedback from committee members and funded contributors on how the process was managed

Let’s do this!

I am afraid I will be abstaining from voting on this one. I am neither opposed, nor in favour, simply because I don’t know the content of the proposal and I am unfortunately entirely lacking the time to review it. It has been pending on my todo list, but… life happened.
