tl;dr
This proposal seeks to tip the members of Cohort 2 for their contributions during the term. We propose a total tip of up to 2,500 DOT for DVs proposal to their contributions, equating to approximately 833.33 DOT per month.
Update: 16. 10.24
After border feedback and individual considerations, we considered putting separate tip proposals for DVs who opted in. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find a perfect formula that would capture all the delegates' contributions.
Our Suggestion for calculating tip:
Points for participation:
95— 100% proposals voted — 10 points.
Feedback and rationale provided:
Varying based on communication level.
DAOplomats will make individual proposals for the following DV if and when they Optin
— Saxemberg: 2,500 DOT
— Chaos DAO: 2,100 DOT
— Lucky Friday Labs 2,500 DOT
— Ezio Rojas: 1,500 DOT
We encourage other DV to opt in or make their own proposals.

Cohort 2 of the Web3 Foundation's Decentralized Voices (DV) program consisted of 10 dedicated participants who actively voted on proposals and provided valuable feedback. Participants like Saxemberg and Lucky Friday Labs went above and beyond, engaging with proposers to help refine and improve their submissions. Given the volume of proposals submitted via OpenGov during this time, these efforts demanded additional time and resources.
To recognise and reward these meaningful contributions, we propose retroactively compensating Cohort 2 members, which would foster continued community engagement and support.
The proposed tip is a maximum of 2,500 DOT, approximately 833.33 DOT per month. However, the tip amount should reflect individual contributions during the DV period.
Participation levels during the period varied significantly. For example, Chaos DAO maintained over 95% voting participation across multiple tracks, while other members participated less frequently or barely voted on proposals.
