Why?

To avoid contributors being held up with questions about whether they can request refunds on tooling such as software subscriptions, we propose that the existing Stewards Team (listed below) is able to process refunds for contributors without needing to poll Snapshot.

On Do-ocracy

My hope is that this allows Krause House to become increasingly do-ocratic, meaning that we are able to quickly allow new leaders with fresh ideas to get the permissions and funds they need, with as little friction as possible. To use a biological metaphor, if we’re a swarm of birds, we don’t want to consult the swarm as a whole about every little turn.

How this will work.

Jerry's would message a Steward about a proposed expense. If the Steward deems this a legitimate expense, the expense can be paid without moving to Snapshot. By legitimate, we mean that the expense is conducted in the best interests of Krause House and is requested by someone who has some trust within the community. For smaller asks, less scrutiny will be taken to minimize friction.

Example Scenarios:

• Mario wants to spin up a Gitbook and messages Commodore for the OK, funds move over to him in 1-3 days instead of needing to move through Snapshot.
• Eli spends gas setting up an ENS name for a Krause House production and messages Flex to get the OK, is quickly paid back.

Reversibility

By “delegated”, we mean that these powers can be stripped or given to others. If you would like to add someone to this team or remove them, you can do so by proposal.

Note

The total expense must be below $1000. Stewards are not entitled to split an expense into parts to justify it.
