• Grant committee selection process
  • Three phases
    • Phase 1:
      • Intro application letter in the forum
        • The community can ask questions in the application thread
        • Likes to show support
      • One category for grant reviewers and one for the project lead position
    • Phase 2:
      • 20 ≤ likes on the application letter –> multiple-choice poll with different grant reviewer/project lead candidates
      • Each voter is required to vote for four candidates in the grant reviewer poll
      • One vote in the project lead poll
      • Trust level 1 required for voting
      • Threshold for voting?
        • We will simply proceed with top 10
    • Phase 3:
      • Firefly vote
        • Question 1: Who should become the Grant committee Lead?
          • Candidates 1-4: main grant reviewers
          • Candidates 5-10: backup list
        • Question 2: Who should be a grant reviewer?
          • The winner becomes the lead
          • The second and third candidates don’t automatically become grant reviewers (the vote for reviewers is what matters for that).
• Candidates for back-up should be KYC:d to be ready in case needed
• If people want to be a grant reviewer if they don't become a lead, they need to do two applications - one for the grant reviewer position and one for the project lead position.
• The principles of the Shimmer governance framework should also apply to the selection of the grant committee members
  • The quorum for the votes is 5% of all tokens used for the voting
    • Theoretically, every person has its own quorum
      • Due to a technical limitation, we can’t add all the candidates into one vote and thus need to split in separate questions and events
    • We shouldn’t restrict an event that doesn’t reach the quorum to not be eligible
    • A statement of delegation should be added in order for the votes together to reach the 5% quorum
