Content: Week of May 8 , 2023 Highlights Voting Cycle # 12 a 1 is over, and all five proposals succeeded. Since the proposal for the Intent # 2 budget passed, those who are interested in being Grants Council reviewers can now nominate themselves 1 — until the deadline, which is May 17 , 19 : 00 GMT.

The next voting cycle will also include a vote on the Foundation’s Year 2 budget proposal 1 — a treasury appropriation subject to Token House approval. As the Foundation notes, the vote is mostly symbolic, as it already has the funds: “This vote is meant to introduce the Foundation budget approval process and set a precedent for future budget approvals.” Finally, as @lavande notes 1 , “any Inflation Adjustment proposals will need to be posted with four delegate approvals by May 17 th at 19 : 00 GMT” so that they can be included in Voting Cycle # 12 b. This includes the one from @polynya, which continues to receive commentary 1 . Proposals Voting Cycle # 12 b will start this Thursday, as noted above. It will include Council reviewer elections, a treasury appropriation proposal from the Foundation, and any qualifying inflation adjustment proposals.
