[NMDP #2]: Q1 & Q2 2024 | DAO Teams Budget Request Proposal ($153,500)

Summary

In the last two quarters, the existing DAO teams–Communication, Research and Development (R&D), Investment Committee, Marketing, and Operations–have worked on behalf of members and focused on the priorities outlined in the NMDP: Q3 & Q4 2023 | DAO Teams Budget Request Proposal forum post.

Now that the six-month funding period is coming to an end, we, the DAO team leads, have outlined the proposed teams, their current priorities, and each team’s six-month budget breakdown in the NMDP linked below. We have shared an RFC and a formal NMDP on the forum over the last month, which can be reviewed in the proposal linked below.
