OBSERVATIONS & IDENTIFIED CHALLENGES During Q 2 2024 , our primary challenge, similar to Q 1 , was operating with only two of the three Stewards. This situation created various logistical challenges and led to unbalanced workloads among team members. Additionally, we encountered unforeseen delays in the release of AIP- 408 Q 2 /Q 3 Governance Working Group Budget funds due to a lengthy but necessary KYB (Know Your Business) process for the GWG’s nonprofit DAO LLC entity, which subsequently pushed back the launch dates for AIP- 408 initiatives. We also chose to adjust our timeline for AIP- 408 OKR- 1 : Revising the Working Group Charter, recognizing the significance of this document and the impact it would have on other Working Groups. We decided to wait until July 1 st, when the DAO would introduce an additional Web 3 Development Working Group with two new Stewards, as well as new Stewards in the Marketing & Communications, Metaverse, and Governance Working Groups. Since these new members should have input, we paused our efforts — an oversight in our original timeline. Naturally, it also became necessary to allow adequate time for onboarding and gain a deeper understanding of the Working Group structure and ApeCoin DAO as a whole. 8 . FUTURE OUTLOOK & CONCLUSION The final week of June marked a significant milestone as we closed out the second quarter with AIP- 408 funds landing in full, which enabled us to activate a variety of new channels. This sparked a wave of excitement going into July, amplified by the addition of a new GWG Steward, DeSmart, and four others across the other Working Groups. This period also showed our ability to manage resources effectively, as we successfully stretched AIP- 317 funds from six months to eight, proving that the Governance Working Group is not only operating efficiently but also coming in under budget. Another one of our major challenges was addressed, with bookkeeping and accounting being a common issue for crypto-funded organizations given price volatility and currency conversions. After screening various protocols, we settled on Request Finance as the best fit for our needs. Alongside this, we developed a new wallet strategy for AIP- 408 funds, responsibly converting a portion of our grant into stable coins to cover liabilities while still retaining over 90 % of the total grant in APE. The arrival of these funds also enabled the full development of our small grant and Delegate Accelerator programs, two initiatives that BigBull and I had been planning for quite some time. We also saw new team members like ShotgunTobi and BojangleGuy stepping up, proving that the GWG was not just ready to scale – we put the right people in place to help push it forward with us. Looking ahead to the close of this quarter, I anticipate the impacts of our primary initiatives will continue to rise, including APE_U, which has already become a huge success and valuable learning experience for us. Additionally, we will be presenting a new iteration of the Working Group Charter this quarter, while navigating ongoing changes within the DAO to proactively address areas that may not be immediately apparent but certainly require attention. In summary, with APE_U, small grants, and the Delegate Accelerator all in motion, our impact and overall reach is growing rapidly by the day and we are excited for what’s to come. AC

OBSERVATIONS & IDENTIFIED CHALLENGES The most significant challenge encountered by the GWG in the first quarter of 2024 , which will persist until the election of an additional Steward next month, is managing the workload. While our execution is strong, it requires extended workdays and an often-intense pace. Bookkeeping was also identified as an area needing improvement. Our current workflow predominantly involves invoicing against existing AIP- 317 funds before their receipt and subsequent distribution to the necessary channels. Additionally, some funds have been distributed on our behalf. Although we appreciate the assistance and recognize the benefits this system provides, it poses substantial difficulties from a bookkeeping perspective, particularly due to token price fluctuation and the coordination required for executing Gnosis Safe signatures across different time zones, which exacerbates cost fluctuations. Furthermore, onboarding is an area where the GWG is actively seeking to enhance efficiency. We are currently developing an updated set of standard operating procedures to streamline this process in preparation for July, when we will welcome at least one new Steward. 8 . FUTURE OUTLOOK & CONCLUSION One of the most significant enhancements to the Governance Working Group (GWG) has been the appointment of DAO Secretary, BojangleGuy. His close collaboration with us on operational and developmental fronts has resulted in substantial improvements to our bookkeeping workflow, highlighted by the implementation of new procedures and record-keeping systems. Moreover, we are actively engaging with software protocols specializing in crypto-focused payment distribution and real-time fiat conversions to further streamline our accounting practices and enhance transparency for the community. Additionally, we are transitioning away from our previous invoicing flow and assuming the full amount of AIP- 408 funding to eliminate unnecessary steps in our treasury management and record-keeping processes. In addressing Steward workload, we have enlisted support from some of our most capable contributors from the community through our CGIP Program. Their assistance spans a variety of areas including initiative development, coordination, content creation and beta-testing new user interfaces and tooling. Looking ahead, we are eager to bring on even more talented individuals from the ApeCoin ecosystem under the GWG umbrella. Lastly, with the recent passing of AIP- 408 : Q 2 /Q 3 2024 Governance Working Group Budget, the GWG is poised for more opportunities than we’ve ever seen before. From education and training protocols to cross-community small grant programs and providing new communities access to ApeCoin DAO governance participation, we are firmly committed to continued execution, ongoing learning, development, and scaling as we continue to advance our mission.

  • furiousanger: admin.allcity: number of qualified Nominees To be qualified = passing KYC. Maybe better working would be “approved nominees” or “KYC passed”. Maybe it’s just me but “qualified” suggest there’s some sort of educational/professional requirements etc. Personally I wish this was the case, but until we get to that point we should try to keep language unambiguous.
