GOV8 Proposal #13: Proposal: Reclaim 20,000 DAI from DAO v0.2 to contribute to funding the Lexicon governance platform

Forum link here.

Proposal #11 is that the HOPR Community Trust contributes 50,000 DAI to funding the launch of a new governance platform, Lexicon, of which the Community Trust would be the first registered member.

To offset some of this cost, we’re proposing recovering 20,000 previously allocated DAI from DAO v0.2 which are proving hard to spend: the proposal to allocate DAI to help spend HOPR tokens. The DAI value of this budget is now almost 5 times the value of the HOPR tokens the budget was supposed to facilitate spending.

Clawing back this 20,000 DAI would avoid drawing from the remaining community treasury. This would leave 5,052 DAI in the DA0 v0.2 fund for that proposal, roughly in line with the value of the remaining HOPR tokens. This seems much more manageable and in line with the spirit of the original proposal from DAO v0.2.

This proposal would only pass if the proposal to fund Lexicon (#11) also passes.
