S17 - Gitcoin Passport Budget

This is a funding proposal for the Gitcoin Passport Workstream (GP) requesting the ratification of budgetary funds for Season 17

This season the Passport workstream is going to focus on the following outcomes:

• Continue to grow the number of Passport holders, and the number of apps/communities integrating with passport
• Introduce and test at least one new scoring mechanism for other communities to consume
• Create a first class developer experience for those integrating with passport (either in app or scoring), and drive the number of integrations up to 25

Amount: Gitcoin Passport (GP) is requesting 281,538GTC* = $492,691 for S17. We will be leaving all reserves with the Gitcoin Allo workstream, and as a result we are requesting the full amount of reserves be funded (full 60 days @ ~190k* GTC). This means however that the Allo workstream should be requesting less GTC as they will have a relatively large reserve.

*The GTC total will be adjusted based on the current market value at the time this proposal is moved to Tally. In this post, we used a $1.75 conversion rate. The vote will request the $USD amount in GTC at the lower of the current price or the 20 day moving average.
