Delegation of Authority: The DelegatesP3 are granted the authority to use 2,000,000 sOPEN tokens for content creation and community growth initiatives. This includes, but is not limited to:

Direct Distribution via OpenR&D:

Tokens can be distributed directly through tasks on OpenR&D.

Partnerships for Writing Contests:

Tokens can be allocated to partner organizations (e.g., Hackernoon) for specific initiatives like writing contests. Tokens may be sent upfront to the partner organization.

Other Initiatives:

Flexibility to use tokens for various content creation initiatives aimed at growing the Openmesh community, including sponsorships, contests, and direct incentives to content creators.

Pre-approved Authority for Large Expenditures:

Certain large expenditures that are not conducted through OpenR&D are pre-approved under this proposal, thereby not requiring additional approval:

Hackernoon Writing Contest:

Major Sponsorships:

Pre-approve the allocation of 300,000 sOPEN tokens for sponsorships with major content creators or influencers in the tech and blockchain spaces. This allocation can be used in one shot to one person or distributed to multiple recipients, including writers, YouTubers, or anyone who can grow our community.

Allocation on OpenR&D:

The remaining sOPEN tokens can be allocated through tasks on OpenR&D. These tasks can include incentives for YouTubers, writers, and other creatives as long as they meet the content eligibility requirements outlined in this proposal.

Approval for Large Expenditures Not on OpenR&D: For token allocations above 300,000 sOPEN and not placed on OpenR&D, the DelegatesP3 must seek approval from the DAO. These allocations, as part of "Other Initiatives," must align with the Content Eligibility Criteria below and passed as non-binding matter proposals.

Public Access:

All reports will be publicly accessible to ensure transparency. Reports will be published on a dedicated page accessible to all DAO members and the public.

Reports will be submitted to the DAO on a monthly basis in an optimistic proposal, failure or veto of a report would lead to a trigger of a non-binding proposal that could lead to a cancellation of this proposal and burning of the tokens if passed.

if there is no action then the report is re-submitted for vote.
