Gitcoin

All proposals should follow this format going forward

This proposal seeks to amend, improve and standardise the proposal process for Gitcoin DAO. The purpose of this standardisation attempt is to improve transparency, accountability and accessibility when it comes to proposal review processes.

New (improved) proposal framework:

All proposals should ideally follow the following format:

A tl;dr section at the top of the proposal summarizing the main points. This is for increased transparency and a smoother decision making process.

If applicable, a milestone report containing goals achieved during the previous quarter. The milestone report should include:

• number of current contributors (marked as FT or PT)
• funds spent to date - perhaps adopting some quarterly reporting?
• any funds carrying over to the next quarter
• notable achievements for the quarter
• have the actions of the workstream brought back value into the DAO/treasury (if applicable/quantifiable)

NB> The flow of a proposal will still follow the steps laid out in the Gov process v2

These (and other) accountability metrics could form the basis of workstream health cards/reports that may serve not only as a catalyst for self improvement but as an opportunity to bring greater transparency, collaboration and accountability into the DAO ecosystem at large.
