Is completing a GOV Mission outside of the GOV RPGF round scope?

Content: Thank you for taking the time to respond, @Gonna.eth . It’s very important for us to receive feedback, and we truly appreciate that you took the time to reply thanks!
That being said, we respectfully disagree with the interpretation that our work falls under “promotional initiatives.”
All of our contributions, particularly the university module, go far beyond mere promotion. We conducted the first-ever university course on Optimism governance, which included 14 sessions, projects, exams, and final evaluations. This program was integrated into the official curriculum of CENFOTEC, one of Costa Rica’s top technology universities. Labeling this as an “onboarding initiative” doesn’t seem accurate.
Does completing a governance mission not demonstrate leadership in governance?
Additionally, the definition of “Governance Leadership” includes I QUOTE: “demonstrated leadership in the Collective, including but not limited to, hosting community calls.”
LINK: Retro Funding 6 : Governance - Round details
While we did host community calls throughout the year, our project went beyond just that; we facilitated governance processes through workshops, meetings, and successfully completed a governance mission to integrate Optimism governance into a university module, which aligns with “Governance facilitation of critical governance processes and/or experiments.”
How is recognizing our work breaking the rules when a single workshop session has already been approved?
With all due respect, and without intending to undermine any work, if a single workshop is eligible, as seen here:
CharmVerse - The Network for Onchain Communities,
We conducted both physical and virtual workshops. Additionally, we organized multiple events and a university module recognized by a leading tech institution—how does that not qualify, but a single session does?
We understand this was hosted by a council member, but does that make the workshop carry more weight?
We don’t intend to compare ourselves to a council member, as they are the ones who make not just this mission, but every other mission possible and much more. However, we do understand that when a council member applies, it’s far easier to approve their proposal than a Spanish-language initiative that you may not be as familiar with.
Our work had similar, if not greater, impact compared to other virtual events that were approved.
Why would our project fall under “explaining governance,” as quoted, while the approved workshops or virtual events do not?
Our team invested significant time, energy, and resources to successfully navigate bureaucratic and institutional hurdles to create this first-of-its-kind course. Since RPGF is intended to reward governance-related impact, this is exactly the type of initiative that should be encouraged and supported.
Our team has submitted an appeal. If, after reading this and our appeal document, the decision remains that we are not qualified for this round, we will respect that. We do not want anything that we shouldn’t be granted, we will follow the vision that the Collective chooses to represent. We simply want to ensure that all points are fully considered, properly justified, and publicly available.
If we are taking the time to write this letter, it is because we truly believe in what we are saying. That being said, we could be wrong, and that’s why we would love to hear a response addressing what was mentioned.

Is completing a GOV Mission outside of the GOV RPGF round scope?
by inbestprogram.eth - No Role
Posted on: Oct. 21, 2024, 6:50 p.m.
Content: Hey fam, its Alberto from InBest & ETH Costa Rica here.
I write with some surprise upon seeing that three voters have disqualified our team’s work, i would like to just ask the following 3 questions:
1 ) Is a full university module about Optimism considered a “promotional initiative”?
Screenshot 2024 - 10 - 21 at 4 . 24 . 24 PM 722 × 624 50 . 4 KB
2 ) Is the successful completion of a governance mission considered “outside of scope” for a governance round?
Screenshot 2024 - 10 - 21 at 4 . 24 . 45 PM 712 × 618 11 . 7 KB
3 ) If the collective wants this to continue happening, shouldn’t we support the leaders who are fulfilling these missions?
Screenshot 2024 - 10 - 21 at 4 . 29 . 22 PM 2602 × 1338 485 KB
To provide context, our team has been leading governance efforts within Optimism. We successfully completed the mission called “Integrate Optimism Governance in University Module.” Our team at Inbest and Ethereum Costa Rica executed this mission perfectly.
Please note that growth mission grants are meant to grow the Superchain—in this case, governance. The tokens allocated must be 100 % distributed to the students, with no incentive for the team to do it other than a future RPGF. In fact, a council member informed us at that time, that the impact should be rewarded in a future RPGF.
As this is an RPGF for governance, we believe this is the most appropriate round for our project, which has been extremely successful, surpassing even our expectations! This success is due to the tremendous effort by the team, in terms of time, money, and energy, overcoming challengues and the bureaucracy involved in running a full university course.
All information about the module was detailed on the governance forum.
Thank you for your support! please feel free to comment, we want to know your opinion.

Content: Optimism compensate its true users, nobody knows the criteria, but you can start by using the Superchain and participating in the governance
1 st you need OP Tokens
Then you can delegate here: i’ll be happy to be your delegate
vote.optimism.io
Inbestprogram.eth on Agora
See what Inbestprogram.eth believes and how they vote on Optimism governance.
A delegate is someone you trust to vote for you, when you delegate your tokens, you are basically giving that delegate your voting power, but your tokens are always on you wallet and under your control, you can move or sell them whenever you want.
delegating is the easiest way to participate in the governance
If you want to delegate to someone else, you can find a delegate here:
vote.optimism.io
Voter on Agora 1
Delegate your voting power to a trusted representative
You can also check the airdrop 5 criteria here:

OP Mainnet is Ethereum, scaled. 3

Season 6 Feedback Thread
by inbestprogram.eth - No Role
Posted on: Oct. 14, 2024, 2:58 p.m.
Content: RPGF is not intended to reward delegates for the duties they should already be fulfilling as part of their role—that’s what the delegate rewards are for.
In my opinion, the best approach for the next round would be to include more active delegates, not just the top 100 .
For context, I’ve been a delegate for over a year, and in case you’re wondering, I’m outside the top 100 myself.
