We see a high potential in the application of this approach, which we understand has been developed based on ARDC’s findings from past incentive programs. We definitely see this approach as valuable and feasible at the same time and still promising in terms of future results, but we are not quite sure if we understand correctly if the whole community will be involved in the selection process for the proposed committee that will choose the moments and goals for each season that is to begin, beyond Entropy, OCL, the Foundation itself, key stakeholders and partner companies. Maybe this has to do with the fact that the seasons are 3 months each and taking these members selections every 3 months period is overwhelming. Would you mind clarifying this?
We also have concerns about how much funding is being asked for, even though we see who the team is behind this proposal, who are all trusted parties, yet this is still, as indicated in the proposal, an initial program, so there have been no previous versions on which to build this beyond the lessons learned from ARDC’s experience with past programs. It is quite an ambitious start for something that has not been tested by the real-world experience of taking this into reality. Should this be a concern for us as a community if we greenlight this proposal? Considering the team behind it, we do not need guarantees that unused funds will be returned or reinvested in future seasons, but we do need a better explanation of the budget breakdown of such a number of requested funds. Why so much?
