Hi, this is Ben West, I will be working with @DisruptionJoe and the team to deliver the Thank ARB program. Very excited to be supporting this visionary program! The Tally vote for Milestone 1(b) was completed last week and we are hitting the ground running on implementation as we speak. What follows is the monthly updated format you can expect from us moving forward over the next 6 months. This will be just one of the many ways we reach out and engage with and directly involve community members in this process. Please don’t hesitate to reach out any time if you have questions or ideas.

Welcome to our second monthly status update! This ongoing report series serves as both a monthly summary of our work and an ongoing record of our progress. Additionally, this report is intended to be a transparent clearinghouse of information related to the operations of the Thank ARB (formerly known as Plurality Labs) grants program. To enable this, this update has sections for program updates, deliverable scorecard, financial details, and our asks of the community.
We intend to deliver this in the third week of each month going forward. Please don’t hesitate to add any questions or suggestions in the comments below.

2. Delivery Scorecard
The delivery scorecard will show our monthly progress towards each deliverable. Considering Milestone 1b has officially begun as of today, we are considering all the items at 0% completion. As an avid forum lurker, you will have the opportunity to watch these deliverables progress throughout our term.
3. Finances & grant spending:
As per feedback from the community related to financial reporting, the team engaged R3GEN to both professionalize and provide an independent reporting service related to the Thank ARB proposal and for the broader DAO. Please find a link to the February report specific to the Thank ARB program here. The broader DAO report will be published in April.
