JAM DAO's vote on this Proposal is a NAY

The DAO appreciates the proposer's input but have multiple concerns over cost, process, and deliverables. The proposer sought $100/hour—20–40% above typical DevRel rates—for activities primarily involving booth presence at an event, with limited deliverables and no written evidence of significant interactions or outcomes.

Some members questioned the lack of transparency around who invited the proposer at short notice and why no prior arrangements were made to secure pre-approved treasury or bounty funding, as is standard practice for other ecosystem event participants. Without such planning, the proposal appeared to bypass normal governance oversight.

The combination of inflated hourly rates, insufficient deliverable justification, and process gaps led the DAO to conclude that approving this request would set an undesirable precedent for retroactive funding without strong evidence of value delivered to the ecosystem.
