There has been a lot of back and forth with this proposal. However, we never doubted the work done by the Arbiters but only asked for a more detailed breakdown of the work done and compensation reasoning.

We saw these changes and a reduced ask in the final iteration on Tally so DAOPlomats (former DAOStewards) voted in favor. Also, echoing what @PrincetonBlockchain said, future requests of this kind is better suited to come through the Arbitrum Citizens Retrofunding Round on Gitcoin.
