Hi Lily,

Thanks for replying, firstly yes the bounty (as with all others) should be compliant with the requirements of WFC 1254. Not necessarily because WFC 1254 exists but this is the level of transparency and reporting that should be expexted from all bounties. Any failings with regards to this in relation to bounty 31 falls within the gaps I mentioned in my initial post.

You points with regards to the curators is a resonable one, we wouldn't want to move from one bad situation into another, as they say, from the frying pan into the fire.

In support of the proposed team, I can attest that they're already hard at work putting together a framework for payments, reporting, extrinsics and top-up proposals. Payouts have already been made on Kusama within a short time, they're actually engaging providers based on performance reports and they're preparing for the next round of tender in a very pragmatic way.

They have also extracted previous payout information and summaried payouts as seen with the sheets below.

These guys are working already.

Dear @Paradox,

Thank you for your proposal. Our vote on this proposal is AYE.

The Medium Spender track requires 50% quorum and simple majority according to our voting policy. This proposal has received five aye and zero nay votes from ten members, with three members abstaining. Below is a summary of our members' comments:

The referendum received majority support, with members expressing confidence in the new curators’ experience and ability to revitalise the bounty. Supporters emphasized the importance of having a functioning bounty for this category, with plans to evaluate outcomes after this phase. However, several members abstained, citing insufficient context or concerns over some curators’ past involvement in other bounties and associated community complaints. Overall, the proposal was largely well-received but faced some reservations.

The full discussion can be found in our internal voting.

Kind regards,
Permanence DAO
