Compensation Each core member will receive $2k of sSquid each month. The coordinape pot will be a total of $4k sSquid a month. The total amount paid to the Marketing Team will be $10k in sSQUID a month.

Budget The Marketing Team will need an allocation of ETH to enact marketing campaigns to increase awareness of and engagement with SquidDAO. While any such campaigns may need to be approved by the voting body, the Marketing Team needs to be assured that sufficient funds will be available for campaigns.

Re-election At the end of every quarter, anyone in the community is allowed to call for a new election. If no election is called, members automatically remain the same. DAO governance has the ability to vote to remove anyone at anytime.

Rationale: The Marketing Team will expand SquidDAO’s notoriety and social media presence, increasing eyes on the project and increasing buying pressure.
