Since the multisig will be receiving the ARB in lump sum to fund both the program and operations, we added a section to specify how we approach underfunding or overfunding of the operational cost.

> The funding for operations will be calculated at the USD value of ARB at the time of the Tally vote setup (5/21/24). In the case of overfunding, the program will return any funds to the DAO treasury.
> 
> In the case of underfunding, the GCP team will have two options to continue operations:
> 
> - Utilize any earmarked amounts for investments or grants to close the gap on funding up to the total allocated amount for operations
> - Stand up a vote to add additional operational funding to continue running the program
