I would like to propose a tip for Six, for his past work as Ambassador and Head Ambassador. I am doing so in response to his Call here: https://forum.polkadot.network/t/polkadot-s-path-forward-vision-for-entering-a-realistic-market/11471
Six has been part of the old ambassador program, long before Giotto proposed to link it to any salary. In this position he onboarded countless people to Polkadot, and also helped me get involved in the program.
During the messy early days of the new HA Program, Six has been a voice of reason, and in this divisive environment, managed to maintain a good relationship with almost everyone, avoiding taking sides and seeking to build consensus. Even through the Ambassador program ultimately went into a different direction, Six contributed greatly to the program’s foundation.
As for the size of the tip, it is always difficult to put a number to these contributions, so this exercise will never be perfect. But to put it into context, these USDT 20k it is approximately half of the amount requested by DDS and Lucy each for their work in the ambassador program.
Six recently posted this article, reflecting on his journey in Polkadot, which is well worth a read: https://medium.com/@six_65870/polkadots-path-forward-vision-for-entering-a-realistic-market-7c4849e9842a
