Category : Community support & decision : HR & Budgeting

Kudos : Ghosts#1014, Davidd#2959

Abstract :

2023 1st half GhostsProject WG Payment Budget Proposal proposes the execution of WG budget required to maintain the inevitably centralized operation such as Discord, Social Media, and various tools designed to improve GhostsProject DAO’s operation for a total 6 months from Jan 1st, 2023 to June 30th, 2023.

Discourse:

Rationale:

• In order to support daily DAO operation with various DAO components(Discord, Twitter, Instagram, DAO tools, etc), managing resources (Working Group) is inevitably required. Thus, the first WG Budget for last epoch was executed and used to compensate Working Group for their dedication to centralized components.

• WG has executed total 13 Proposals including 5 collaboration proposals such as Tracer, Openblox and etc. Even though WG was supposed to be in charge of only centralized parts of DAO, WG took the initiatives on agendas and successfully sourced the collaborations/partnershops considering it was DAO’s primitive stage where things were not perfectly settled.

• However, as WG proposed the hiring of GhostsProject Council who will acquire the significant level of authority during the proposal review process, the current R&R of WG will be reduced and truly focus on the inevitably centralized daily operation such as Discord, Social Media, Partnership Management.

  Also, regarding collaboration proposal executed (Tracer) or will be executed in the future (Paraverse, if approved), WG will be in charge of assisting counter-parties by providing centralized resources and communicating the execution process in order to amplify the benefit that GhostsProject can acquire. Furthermore, WG will contribute on the operation of Gho Game and potential Marketplace Art Collection drop for GhostsProject Artists.

  Please refer to updated Working Group R&R and Council R&R on GIP 12

• Therefore, WG proposes to reduce its payment rate from $1,500 to $1,000 by updating the Level and Comp structure (Post DAO - Updated) ; the saved $500 will be allocated to Council payment budget if approved.

• The new WG Budget for the epoch of Jan 1st, 2023 to June 30th, 2023 will be mainly used for maintaining the centralized operation of DAO.
