Prepare grant and partner discussion materials

[epowell101]

Before the end of the hackathon we should be kicking off conversations with our partners & possible grant providers - like Aave.

This work includes:

• discussing internally our 12 month plan
• modeling that with a reasonable budget that includes bounties and a number of hackathons (quarterly?)
• describing the benefits to grants and founding partners; quantifying benefits from the hackathons & getting quotes from participants and sponsors
• from that modeling how many supporters and grant providers of what size we need
• creating a list of 30+ partners for outreach - and starting to request introductions and similar
• potentially dividing the work up when it comes to grant prep and meeting prep
• FDD from Gitcoin will be the first group that we pitch on our value
• using DAO Denver as an opportunity to meet in person & potentially close a set of founding supporters
• calculating a simple issuance model for founding supporters and for the community based on the assumption that we will have something like a bicameral structure similar to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and Optimism - whereby technical & community decisions are made on their merits AND an oversight function from sponsors and supporters to ensure wise use of funds

I can’t get notion to let me edit on iOS, so my bits here

Conference: ethDenver is good opportunity to build some momentum with projects as well as with sponsors. Planning a milestone for the next hackathon events and or project(s) release.

governance model:

• board of directors or governing board: With either name it needs to be a combination of sponsors and the community. The community representation needs to be voted in.
• administration staff: they will need to be managed by a paid leader. That leader will need to be managed the BoD / governance board.
• Technical Committee: Project leaders to start. Add a few voted in community members later.
• Projects: allow them to self organize using the tools. When they are ready, a leader is voted in.

This is ongoing - and for example I'll be incorporating the people and project pipelines as well as the Regen Rangers into the deck. However I think we can close it for now as we have something >1.0
