[RootstockCollective Ambassador Proposal] Renewal Proposal – Multi-Ambassador Extension M1 & M2
Voted: FOR
Rationale: This was not a trivial decision. The concerns raised by other delegates around KPI quality and the weight assigned to staking conversion are legitimate, and we share them in principle. Two considerations tipped us toward supporting the extension.
First, judging an ambassador program primarily through staking conversion underweights what these roles actually produce. Both ambassadors delivered consistent content output, ran local activations, and brought hundreds of people into direct contact with Rootstock through universities, meetups, and Spaces. Retail adoption on a Bitcoin L2 is rarely a quarterly outcome. It compounds through repeated exposure, localized education, and on-the-ground presence that won’t show up in a staking chart for several cycles. Weighting effort and reach alongside short-term financial metrics gives a more honest picture of what this program is meant to do.
Second, a DAO benefits from allowing small focused workflows to operate with some degree of centralized coordination, rather than subjecting every initiative to fully distributed decision-making at every step. @Georgia is actively backing this renewal, has been engaging with delegates to address specific concerns, and has communicated clear plans to tighten the metrics framework for the next cycle. That is enough for us to extend trust here, with the expectation that the next reporting cycle reflects those improvements.
We are voting FOR with the understanding that the bar moves up from here.
