Proposal description
Dash Core Group October Funding Proposals
DCG is submitting 2 funding proposals for the October budget cycle:
1) DCG Compensation: Multi-month proposal: month 2 of 3
2) DCG Travel: $48,000
This proposal
This proposal requests funding for travel. It is cross-posted here
Background
DCG has substantially limited travel since 2018 due to budget constraints. Specifically, travel expenses for the last 6 months averaged approximately $9,000 per month. This is down over 50% from the monthly run-rate in 2018.
We are focused on continuing to limit travel only to essential opportunities where meeting face-to-face with colleagues or third parties will produce demonstrable results. Recent examples include a developer meeting in Eastern Europe, the first DCG leadership meeting in Phoenix (https://blog.dash.org/dash-leadership-meeting-bff3c92e48b3), meetings with Japanese regulators, business development related travel for high-value integrations, etc.
During the last 6 months, the two largest expenses associated with travel were for developer and leadership meet-ups in Eastern Europe and Arizona. Prior to committing to any event, we have been laser focused on figuring out how to drive down associated costs to ensure we spend network funds prudently. For example, for developer meet-ups we have been cost-conscious by having the developers stay in AirBnBs, which are significantly cheaper than hotel rooms. For the Arizona meeting, the average hotel room rate was $89 per night (this ended up being cheaper than getting an AirBNB in the area at the time). We will continue to be cost-conscious as we spend funds on travel.
Funding Request
For the budget cycle we are requesting funding for the following upcoming events:
In addition, there are a number of smaller events that DCG would attend if the price of Dash during this payout cycle were to increase (leading to a higher fiat payout). If the price stays in the $80s range for the proposal payout, this funding should last DCG until March 2020.
If you have any questions, please direct them to @glennaustin at dashcentral to ensure we are notified of your request.
Requested funding is as follows for the October budget cycle:
· 565 Dash for travel ($48,000 USD @ $84 per Dash)
· 5 Dash proposal reimbursement
Total: 570 Dash
Note: Should any funding remain, we will apply it toward future travel expenses or associated taxes.
