PART I: PROPOSALS (30')

Proposal 1 - Adopt standard Quarters or Seasons for budget proposals and working cadence (Joe)

• Tension:
  • It is confusing for Stewards (and everyone else) to have all the workstreams using different dates for their Quarter start and end dates
    • Most* workstreams are doing the cadence mentioned below
    • This off-the-natural quarters is nice because it gives time after grants rounds to retro and review before making the next proposal
    • Rather than calling them quarters, we call them season so we don’t have to answer the
    • Really, it doesn’t matter to me exactly what we decide. I think this is a perfect opportunity for making the decision by consent rather than consensus (Joe)
• Proposal:
  • Ratify “season” start dates
    • Season 13 - 2.1 to 4.30 (GR13 | 3.9-3.24)
    • Season 14 - 5.1 to 7.30 (GR14 | 6.8-6.23)
    • Season 15 - 8.1 to 10.30 (GR15 | 9.7-9.22)
    • Season 16 - 11.1 to 1.31 (GR16 | 11.30-12.15)
    • and ongoing - any changes for holidays or other interruptions would be voted on by CSDO
  • Recommendation for Workstream Budget Proposals
    • Have your proposal up on the Governance Forum using the workstream accountability format by the Friday (1.28 this month) prior to the Monthly Steward call (Feb 4th this time \ first Monday of every month)
    • Snapshot on Wednesday, then tally when it passes.
• Clarifying Questions:
  • Kyle: How can we encourage other people to ‘snap’ to the new system? Should we just include just another month? Joe: Just add some extra time & budget.
  • Annika: We’ll be approving budgets after the start of the season, is that ok? Joe: Most workstreams have funds to last beyond the end of their quarter, we should have a steady stream/cadence - other workstreams can help out if needed
  • Huxwell: How long will the review time last? Will stewards not be flooded by proposals? Whole flow should be able to work in a week because we group them. Quick succession moments because we have their attention span.
  • Simona: Do we add the numbers? Yes
• Reactions:
  • Kyle: Supportive.
  • Annika: Supportive, starting with s13 makes sense
  • Brittney: Supportive
  • Kevin: Supportive
  • Huxwell: Supportive
  • Simona: Supportive
