Due to feedback provided, we have revised our program to remove the $1M Treasury refunds and increase admin spending.

Bounty ID: 46

Total Requested: ~~231,000 DOT~~ 94,156 DOT (EMA 30= $9.534724, based on Kraken trading data)

We will refund the excess DOT at the time of accepting the curator role by submitting a child bounty in the amount of the difference between the fiat value of 231,000 DOT and $897,750 with the Treasury as the beneficiary.

After 4 months of hard work and coordination among some of the most passionate and respectable professionals within the ecosystem, we are proud to announce our proposal: The AMI Bounty Program. This is a grassroots initiative led completely by notable community members whose main goal is to curate marketing, media, and advertising deliverables for the Polkadot brand.

This program also seeks to effectively earmark all Treasury spending on marketing by including a hefty allocation of DOT to be refunded to the Treasury whenever marketing spends are paid outside of this program. These refunds will be accompanied by audits from the team to provide the ecosystem with another layer of accountability for direct spends.

There’s an incredible amount of detail that can be found in the docs below. Please review them to find all relevant information regarding this program. Thanks!

Note: this referendum configuration is inspired by referendum 323 on Kusama. The way the call is configured allows OpenGov to only vote once on the establishment of the bounty and curator. We must learn from Kusama!
