S2 D_D Women Budget Proposal: Diversity, Inclusiveness & Social Space

the membership/scholarship fund is not accounted for in this budget proposal. weā€™re working with Nader and he will be sponsoring the initiative out of his token allocations/nfts.

my allocation will also be used to sponsor new members, but this is not part of the official initiative, more of a personal one.

thanks for the support :purple_heart:

This seems good to me and well aligned with the values of the DAO. I have some concerns over the amount of USD allocated not being enough to cover what you all need done.

In full support of D_D Womenā€™s budget. Iā€™ve always loved coming to D_D Fridays. Happy to see this initiative gain more structure to have a greater impact across the dao :raised_hands:

we originally only had $CODE as the bounty reward and added the USD as suggested by @Erik_Knobl. if you believe a higher amount in USD would serve us best, let me know if you have a suggested amount. Iā€™m always in support of paying contributors more to help with retention and trust in the team!

i appreciate this initiative, am excited to see it grow, and am generally supportive of the proposal.

  1. i encourage anyone part of D_D Women to participate in the Steward election ā€“ a very concrete way to diversify dao leadership and have a platform to broadly advance inclusivity.
  2. i do like the ā€œat least one Community Manager is a representative of D_D Womenā€ policy idea related to the Labs budget. would be happy to see @meowy or another core member in that role.
  3. OKRs ā€“ needs broadcasting to most open proposals: the latest governance update (P-22) asks for OKRs in this format. many of your goals have pretty well-defined ā€˜key resultsā€™ already (e.g., host D_D Fridays each week, develop new branding, launch a new landing page, etc.). that may be sufficient, but if you find the exercise helpful to discover other smol concrete todos, go for it.

Thank you for that.

  • I nominated myself for the steward selection. I was a steward in last season also.

  • I think we already discussed about the set of responsibility that could fall into community management and if that all works out, I will be happy to join as a Community Manager. I have already been assisting members in any way I can and been holding calls through ddw team.

  • Thank you for the OKR format.
    I have been thinking of putting monthly updates on this forum referring what we have achieved along with our wins and what we need to do more/ need more time to finish. In that way everyone will have a clear idea of whatā€™;s been going on with ddw team and how close we are to our season 2 goals being achieved.

But I can say this confidently that we have got done with a lot already even though itā€™s just the starting of season 2.

Thank you for your support. :sparkles:

#19

@stewards Itā€™d be great to get some comments to consider moving this proposal to snapshots.

#20

I wholeheartedly support the mission and all the soul and energy that goes into achieving it. And I unequivocally applaud you all for your undertakings. Anyone that knows me, knows that.

#21

I appreciate fully the value of this work. In fact I find it invaluable. And I also know what itā€™s like to do work, where itā€™s a real challenge to document the hours that Iā€™ve worked, so you have my empathy from that perspective.

But here comes some scrutiny. And Iā€™ll probably make myself even more unpopular than I already am for saying this, but I believe in principle over popularity. After all, thatā€™s how activism begins its journey, until it goals can become a reality. And my scrutiny is meant as a protection to the mission of this initiative, as opposed to a hindrance to it.

Iā€™m quite puzzled as to this rationale of this statement. Is this suggesting that 15 $CODE per hour doesnā€™t apply to this initiative? Iā€™m confused as to what our approach means. Who elseā€™s approach is this comparing to? Iā€™d really appreciate some clarity on this.
Thanks

8 stewards have commented on this. I will elevate it to snapshot.
Any final comments in the next 30 minutes, let me know, please.

excited to see the ongoing Community Manager election include two DDW core members!

i know weā€™re close to the finish line here, but iā€™d like to formalize my earlier suggestion to include a CM within the DDW budget and give that a try for S2. Specifically my suggestion is to:

  • add $1k/mo USDC for a DDW Community Manager. could be a similar job description as the other three, but up to you.
  • i imagine the DDW Community Manager as a peer of the other three, but naturally would focus primarily on DDW.
  • the DDW core team can decide how to assign the role (including splitting it up or rotating the role).
#24

I actually have a different suggestion for this.

I planned to stay away from the Community Manager part.

So in that way, I can focus on being ddw Community manager and while having 3 Community manager for the DAO.

In that way, we can have more hands on the community handling without just three.

One person for ddw community (which I will be doing myself) + 3 community managers (which is from the elected community managers)

What do you think?

#25

i think weā€™re on the same page. my suggestion is to add a $1k/mo USDC budget for a dedicated DDW CM in addition to the three roles that are up for election now.

in my limited understanding, it sounds like the responsibilities youā€™ve got in mind already and iā€™d be supportive of that allocation going in your direction. i think an ideal outcome is no one is a CM for both DDW and the broader dao at the same time, so if you take on the DDW role, iā€™ll use my vote weight for other candidates in the election ā€“ nothing personal :wink: .

#26

That sounds good to me.

Then we will change the budget and make the changes as you are suggesting.

#27

thanks for the suggestion.

i would really like this wrapped up ASAP as we are already going to be in March. @meowy please update this ASAP so @Erik_Knobl can send this to snapshot.

iā€™d like this to be the FINAL request. weā€™ve been sitting on this for weeks. thanks

#28

Am I correct with my calculations here? @meowy for 9600 $CODE throughout the season, youā€™ll be required to do 40 hours a week of work under the DDW initiative?

#29

I was in the middle of updating it.
Itā€™s updated now.
