Proposal to continue paying FLOC* for monthly brand management and design support.

To recap, here is what was shared on the ‘Expenses Reimbursement’ forum post here: https://gov.metafactory.ai/t/expenses-reimbursement/77

'As we transition to a token based project with the market release of $ROBOT, it’s important to increase the transparency around costs and decision making (budgeting) as a community.

As it currently stands, we have an ongoing retainer with FLOC* for €1,500/month. This covers social media management, newsletter design and creation, website maintenance and general design work. There may be additional expenses related to specific campaigns (new Reels, etc.), but any budget overruns resulting from extra work will be voted on separately.

In full disclosure, when Hammad and I initially proposed a partnership with FLOC*, we offered them a small stake in MF in return for ongoing brand management and design support. The $ROBOT allocation that they received was compensation for this agreement, but not for services rendered. They are a creative collective with many different resources engaged and a non-trivial amount of overhead. However, due to aligned incentives and their love for MF, their ongoing rate for services is incredibly low - especially when measured against value delivered.'

If passed, we will continue to pay FLOC* €1,500/month in exchange for general brand management and design support.
