CUIP-055 - Reduction in Councilors' Season Rewards [Pass]

Abstract

Since the treasury does no longer have the funds to sustain expenditures of a large team. I believe that it is time to reduce the reward given to Councilors from $1,000 per season to $0, the role should be voluntary moving forward (season = 6-month period. Since the game will be coming down for an unknown time and the DAO does not have money to review funding proposals, the work required by Councilors will also be less. This proposal is to take effect after the season has completed, since the current councilors have agreed to the assignment based on the existing pay and have already served time.

Motivation

The motivation to write this proposal is to reduce CU treasury expenditures to the bare minimum since the treasury does not have much more funds left. For the good of all the CU community, we need to reduce our treasury burn rate as much as possible to survive this next period. If we are able to survive this period and flourish again, then another proposal may be submitted to justify the changes of increasing the stipend. Right now we need to put the survival of the community first.

Details

Reduce the Councilors season stipend from $1,000 to $0, this role should be carried out voluntarily during these next stages since the projects finances are restricted.

Conclusion

This proposal would reduce our monthly Councilors expenditure from ~$1,833 monthly to $0 monthly. The council is paid at the end of the season (given perfect attendance), which is a 6-month period and not monthly. This reduction just shows how it is broken down in a monthly format. Additionally, with the downtime of the game and lack of DAO funds to even review funding proposals, this reduction should be adequate for the time dedicated for councilor duties.
