Thank you for the proposal, @Entropy. It is a good step toward ensuring that Dao grants are utilized as intended.

The only question we have is regarding the classification for Low, Medium, and High levels of misuse. Is this tied to how the funds were inappropriately used, the amount of funds misused, or a mix of both? We would recommend a mix of the type of inappropriate usage (which is subject to the committee’s review) and the amount of funds that have been misappropriated for use outside of the awarded grant’s allowed use.

That’s our feedback now and we are in favour of this proposal.
