DAO Operations (DAOOps) Q1 2022 budget request

With this proposal we'd like to create the GitcoinDAO Operations Workstream and move it from an informal workstream to a proposal stage workstream. The DAO Operations (DAOops) workstream, is a workstream in service of the DAO and our adjacent workstreams.

Some of our focus areas:

• Continue combining DAO / Gitcoin Holdings meetings and calendars to ensure we have one contiguous experience.
• Continue to advance regulatory considerations at both the DAO level and the workstream level
• Establish to bolster recruitment, onboarding, member growth, and retainment
• Continue to champion accounting best practices and templates to assist workstreams with budgeting, accounting and bookkeeping.
• Support CSDO with implementation of ratified items (like Discord changes, Notion changes, etc.)
• Continue to improve the Stewards experience and engagement levels
• Grow and combine our User Support efforts to ensure protocol users are well supported
• Finalize open community experience tasks like Notion, Discord, Sobol, etc.
• Open source much of this workstream’s work so that we may act as a guide for other DAOs

Our total budget request is 39.5K GTC for Q1 of 2022.

Summary

As the governance rails begin to form for the DAO, it has become evident that operational support is a necessity. This workstream seeks to bring core operational functions to Gitcoin, while meeting the other workstreams' needs with templates, best practices and structure that will enable the growth and scale of Gitcoin for years to come.
