SEEDGov Delegate Thread

Proposal: [2603 Grant] Updated: Bitcoin India Tour Phase-3 X Rootstock India | RootstockCollective

Vote: AGAINST

Rationale: We are reproducing the rationale we outlined in the proposal thread:

@SEEDGov

We voted against this proposal. We want to be very clear that we have nothing against the author or the proposal itself, which we in fact consider solid. However, this type of initiative is very difficult to assess in terms of KPIs and return on allocated capital—specifically, whether the requested grant would generate a tangible return for Rootstock in the form of new active users or new developers building within the ecosystem. In this case, we find it particularly challenging to evaluate or project that impact.

At the moment, delegates, the Collective, and the Lab are beginning a dialogue that we believe will be highly productive in establishing priorities and aligning around the network’s strategic objectives, as well as how the Collective can best contribute to them. Within that process, it will also become clearer whether initiatives of this kind are aligned with those strategic goals and how their KPIs and ROI should be measured to ensure a more efficient allocation of funds.
