&nbsp;

NEW TERMS
Thank you very much everybody for participating so far. We're adjusting the cost of our offering as we bring in alternative funding sources thanks to your votes.
What stays the same?  
42 weeks of media production of the same or better quality!
What changes?
Reducing cost of 42 week order to tokenholders by 30% by linearly reducing cost of production to the treasury to 69% of current production costs. Instead of 2 top up refs, we'll do one for half the amount in 6 months instead.
Why?
Our interpretation of the results so far is that, while most see the value of the media we produce, many would like to see a clearer commitment to blended funding.
By removing $105.81/week from production costs to the treasury The Kusamarian core production team and audience are further driven to implement successful alternative revenue streams quickly and sustainably.
By settling at 69% treasury funding, tokenholders assure majority ownership of the narrative as we introduce these new incentives.
At the next small referenda, Tokenholders have the chance to suggest reducing ownership of the narrative further, claiming some back or keeping it the same!
Thank you!

THE PROPOSAL
Based on feedback from our tokenholder <a href="https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/ESpj60qt">research survey</a> (<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ErbFXabIqFrxD-sjg9yNx28K3g7wdVXZsvzoI0700m4/edit?usp=sharing">see results</a>) and the first 3 weeks of voting...

We arrived at the original numbers by taking the average answers of survey participants who have a history of voting in OpenGov (which was only slightly conservative of all respondents). We thank each of you for helping shape the original proposal!
As of Aug. 10th we&rsquo;ve refined the terms of the order (see above) to reduce costs by 40% while maintaining regular (or better) production and values. 
Current costs of production are broken down by show and include minimum hours of work required as well as viewership &amp; engagement metric results from the previous period. See costs for <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=103408008">Space Monkeys</a>, <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1923977833">Friday Dump</a>, <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1420192418">Alpha Shots</a>, <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1633886393">Tokenomic Crackdown</a>, <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1354689382">NFT Nomad</a>, <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=960348509">Sama Spaces</a>, &amp; <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1984916279">AAG</a>. They will be reduced by 1% until they land at 69% funded by treasury, 31% from alternative sources.

Blended Funding?
With 40% of survey participants signalling the desire for blended funding to at least some degree (including only partial treasury funding of NFT Nomad &amp; Sama Spaces) we are pursuing multiple avenues of alternate revenue streams which will be revealing over the course of this Referendum. These will be introduced slowly, deliberately, and transparently before our audience and top voters.&nbsp;

Terms of Payment

**THE PROPOSAL**

Based on feedback from our tokenholder [research survey](https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/ESpj60qt) ([see results](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ErbFXabIqFrxD-sjg9yNx28K3g7wdVXZsvzoI0700m4/edit?usp=sharing))...

[The Kusamarian](https://twitter.com/TheKusamarian/highlights) presents a [42 week order](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1946676046) of regular programming with 60% up front. 


We arrived at these numbers by taking the average answers of survey participants who have a history of voting in OpenGov (which was only slightly conservative of all respondents). We thank each of you for helping shape this proposal! 
 


A second survey regarding how to handle the remaining 40% was split down the middle. We are taking the conservative option of splitting it into [two future referenda](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1946676046): one on Nov. 12, 2023, the other Feb 18, 2024. These referenda will claim [specific milestones](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1847513467) developing assets related to establishing On-chain Metrics Programs, Audience Identification + Development, Audience Contributions + Media Improvement, and Organizational Development + Documentation!

These growth milestones were previously included as part of the cost of production for each episode but are now open for scrutiny and participation! Milestones are subject to change or adjust with new information but will be up for tokenholder scrutiny at each future referenda. 
 

Costs of production are broken down by show and include minimum hours of work required as well as viewership & engagement metric results from the previous period. See costs for [Space Monkeys](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=103408008), [Friday Dump](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1923977833), [Alpha Shots](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1420192418), [Tokenomic Crackdown](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1633886393), [NFT Nomad](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1354689382), [Sama Spaces](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=960348509), & [AAG](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1984916279).

**AFTER YOU VOTE...**

Help us serve better with a 30 second [EXIT SURVEY](https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/KtobqvX5)!

--------------------------------------

**TL;DR**

This proposal is about:

- Expanding what it means to Contribute to the Kus
- Transitioning to a blended funding model
- All without sacrificing values or the regular delivery of Media

--------------------------------------

**THE PROPOSAL**

Based on feedback from our tokenholder [research survey](https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/ESpj60qt) ([see results](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ErbFXabIqFrxD-sjg9yNx28K3g7wdVXZsvzoI0700m4/edit?usp=sharing))...

[The Kusamarian](https://twitter.com/TheKusamarian/highlights) presents a [42 week order](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1946676046) of regular programming with 60% up front. 


We arrived at these numbers by taking the average answers of survey participants who have a history of voting in OpenGov (which was only slightly conservative of all respondents). We thank each of you for helping shape this proposal! 
 


A second survey regarding how to handle the remaining 40% was split down the middle. We are taking the conservative option of splitting it into [two future referenda](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1946676046): one on Nov. 12, 2023, the other Feb 18, 2024. These referenda will claim [specific milestones](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1847513467) developing assets related to establishing On-chain Metrics Programs, Audience Identification + Development, Audience Contributions + Media Improvement, and Organizational Development + Documentation!

These growth milestones were previously included as part of the cost of production for each episode but are now open for scrutiny and participation! Milestones are subject to change or adjust with new information but will be up for tokenholder scrutiny at each future referenda. 
 

Costs of production are broken down by show and include minimum hours of work required as well as viewership & engagement metric results from the previous period. See costs for [Space Monkeys](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=103408008), [Friday Dump](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1923977833), [Alpha Shots](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1420192418), [Tokenomic Crackdown](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1633886393), [NFT Nomad](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1354689382), [Sama Spaces](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=960348509), & [AAG](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1984916279).

Note: AAG will be sipping $120/episode to cover processing + clipping live streams, uploading, and intra-eco promotion targeting DOT & KSM tokenholders. We are outsourcing this work asap as it is at risk of taking time from core production!

----------------------
**Blended Funding?**

With 40% of survey participants signalling the desire for blended funding to at least some degree (including only partial treasury funding of NFT Nomad & Sama Spaces) we are pursuing multiple avenues of alternate revenue streams which will be revealing over the course of this Referendum. These will be introduced slowly, deliberately, and transparently before our audience and top voters. Thank you for your faith!

----------------------

**Terms of Payment**

60% of 42 Week Order amounts to $306,858.09 USD.

Converted on the 30d MA of 5.18331/DOT equals 59,203.58 DOT.

The Kusamarian will return any excess DOT valued over the USD amount at time of receipt to the treasury as it has done in the past. A top up my be pursued for value below to complete the order.

**AFTER YOU VOTE...**
Help us be better with a 30 second [EXIT SURVEY](https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/KtobqvX5)!

--------------------------------------

**THE PROPOSAL**

Based on feedback from our tokenholder [research survey](https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/ESpj60qt) ([see results](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ErbFXabIqFrxD-sjg9yNx28K3g7wdVXZsvzoI0700m4/edit?usp=sharing))...

[The Kusamarian](https://twitter.com/TheKusamarian/highlights) presents a [42 week order](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1946676046) of regular programming with 60% up front. 


We arrived at these numbers by taking the average answers of survey participants who have a history of voting in OpenGov (which was only slightly conservative of all respondents). We thank each of you for helping shape this proposal! 
 


A second survey regarding how to handle the remaining 40% was split down the middle. We are taking the conservative option of splitting it into [two future referenda](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1946676046): one on Nov. 12, 2023, the other Feb 18, 2024. These referenda will claim [specific milestones](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1847513467) developing assets related to establishing On-chain Metrics Programs, Audience Identification + Development, Audience Contributions + Media Improvement, and Organizational Development + Documentation!

These growth milestones were previously included as part of the cost of production for each episode but are now open for scrutiny and participation! Milestones are subject to change or adjust with new information but will be up for tokenholder scrutiny at each future referenda. 
 

Costs of production are broken down by show and include minimum hours of work required as well as viewership & engagement metric results from the previous period.

Note: AAG will be sipping $120/episode to cover processing + clipping live streams, uploading, and intra-eco promotion targeting DOT & KSM tokenholders. We are outsourcing this work asap as it is at risk of taking time from core production!

----------------------
**Blended Funding?**

With 40% of survey participants signalling the desire for blended funding to at least some degree (including only partial treasury funding of NFT Nomad & Sama Spaces) we are pursuing multiple avenues of alternate revenue streams which will be revealing over the course of this Referendum. These will be introduced slowly, deliberately, and transparently before our audience and top voters. Thank you for your faith!

----------------------

**Terms of Payment**

60% of 42 Week Order amounts to $306,858.09 USD.

Converted on the 30d MA of 5.18331/DOT equals 59,203.58 DOT.

The Kusamarian will return any excess DOT valued over the USD amount at time of receipt to the treasury as it has done in the past. A top up my be pursued for value below to complete the order.

**Blended Funding?**

With 40% of survey participants signalling the desire for blended funding to at least some degree (including only partial treasury funding of NFT Nomad & Sama Spaces) we are pursuing multiple avenues of alternative revenue streams which we will be revealing over the course of this Referenda. These will be introduced slowly, deliberately, and transparently before our audience and top voters. Thank you for your faith!

**Terms of Payment**

60% of 42 Week Order amounts to $306,858.09 USD.

Converted on the 30d MA of 5.18331/DOT equals 59,203.58 DOT.

The Kusamarian will return any excess DOT valued over the USD amount at time of receipt to the treasury as it has done in the past. A top up my be pursued for value below to complete the order.

**THE PROPOSAL**

Based on feedback from our tokenholder [research survey](https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/ESpj60qt) ([see results](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ErbFXabIqFrxD-sjg9yNx28K3g7wdVXZsvzoI0700m4/edit?usp=sharing))...

We arrived at these numbers by taking the average answers of survey participants who have a verified history of voting in OpenGov (which was only slightly conservative of all respondents). We thank each of you for helping shape this proposal! 
 


A second survey regarding how to handle the remaining 40% was split down the middle. We are taking the conservative option of splitting it into [two future referenda](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1946676046): one on Nov. 12, 2023, the other Feb 18, 2024.

These growth milestones were previously included as part of the cost of production for each episode but are now open for public scrutiny and participation! Milestones are subject to change or adjust with new information but will be up for tokenholder scrutiny at each future referenda.

These growth milestones were previously included as part of the cost of production for each episode but are now open for public scrutiny and participation! Milestones are subject to change or adjust with new information but will be up for tokenholder scrutiny at each future referenda. 
 

Costs of production are broken down by show and include minimum hours of work required as well as social metric results from the previous period.

**The following is an archive of the original Discussion Post** 👇

This [5 minute survey](https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/ESpj60qt) will help us, at [The Kusamarian](https://twitter.com/TheKusamarian), understand the desires of the voting Tokenholder public to align with their interests.

It will provide opportunities for interested tokenholders (whether supportive or not) to become partners in **Kusamarian** development, incl. the establishment of on-chain activity goals & overseeing potential channel sponsors (should tokenholders desire blended funding).

*This is not a typical Discussion post providing insights on future proposals.* It uses the current funding period as a reference to shape the future. 

----------------------

[This survey](https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/ESpj60qt) presents:

- a short overview of the social impact & mission of this media project.
- progress reports on social media metric goals established in last proposal up to May 23 (61% of progress) See [charts](https://imgur.com/a/DBh5439). See [reports](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_SkKhsZ_ILb6g2TfwGYCzYPu3vyhXMLReCLSUvnHTYQ/edit?usp=sharing).
- a short overview of each show with this period's production costs & metrics with the question of what % of that spending the tokenholder would wish to continue incentivizing with Treasury funds (0-200% - or blended to expanded funding).
- an opportunity to be contacted via [Sumi Notes](https://twitter.com/SumiNetwork) (on-chain) and join **Kusamarian** development based on weight of vote.

----------------------

All feedback is welcome and valuable as one of our guiding principles is creating a reliable info network, free and open for all!

Please help **The Kusamarian** brand continue to grow and serve the Polkadot Network in line with DOT holder interests! 

Fill out this [5 minute survey](https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/ESpj60qt) now!

Thank you! 🙂

A second survey regarding how to handle the remaining 40% was split down the middle. We are taking the conservative option of splitting it into [two future referenda](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1946676046): one on Nov. 12, 2023, the other Feb 18, 2024. These referenda will claim [specific milestones](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1847513467) developing assets related to establishing On-chain Metrics, Audience identification+ Development, Audience Contributions + Media Improvement, and Organizational Development + Documentation!

These growth milestones were previously included as part of the cost of production for each episode but are now open for public scrutiny and participation! Milestones are subject to change or adjust with new information but will be up for tokenholder scrutiny at each future referenda. 


Costs of production are broken down by show and include minimum hours of work required as well as social metric results from the previous period. See costs for [Space Monkeys](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=103408008), [Friday Dump](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1923977833), [Alpha Shots](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1420192418), [Tokenomic Crackdown](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1633886393), [NFT Nomad](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1354689382), [Sama Spaces](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=960348509), & [AAG](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19ZEi7hH20W3u5U4ytq_ewOxydejydRvEqdfEQZ6j1jM/edit#gid=1984916279).

**The following is an archive of the original Discussion Post** 👇

This [5 minute survey](https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/ESpj60qt) will help us, at [The Kusamarian](https://twitter.com/TheKusamarian), understand the desires of the voting Tokenholder public to align with their interests.

It will provide opportunities for interested tokenholders (whether supportive or not) to become partners in **Kusamarian** development, incl. the establishment of on-chain activity goals & overseeing potential channel sponsors (should tokenholders desire blended funding).

*This is not a typical Discussion post providing insights on future proposals.* It uses the current funding period as a reference to shape the future. 

----------------------

[This survey](https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/ESpj60qt) presents:

- a short overview of the social impact & mission of this media project.
- progress reports on social media metric goals established in last proposal up to May 23 (61% of progress) See [charts](https://imgur.com/a/DBh5439). See [reports](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_SkKhsZ_ILb6g2TfwGYCzYPu3vyhXMLReCLSUvnHTYQ/edit?usp=sharing).
- a short overview of each show with this period's production costs & metrics with the question of what % of that spending the tokenholder would wish to continue incentivizing with Treasury funds (0-200% - or blended to expanded funding).
- an opportunity to be contacted via [Sumi Notes](https://twitter.com/SumiNetwork) (on-chain) and join **Kusamarian** development based on weight of vote.

If you have time please provide input on how to handle these milestones in a final SHORT! [30 second survey](https://ckcmjun9j9s.typeform.com/to/LaGuTEzJ). ❤️

Note: we understand we can't make all voters perfectly happy but production costs, tokenholder ownership, length of funding, and upfront % was taken from the average responses of those who provided a twitter handle & have a verified history of voting on Polkadot. The results were inline with general sentiment though slightly more conservative.

2/2 Research Survey - The Kusamarian Maintenance Funding 🫰

Treasury

Propose and approve a spend of treasury funds.

- `origin`: Must be `SpendOrigin` with the `Success` value being at least `amount`.
- `amount`: The amount to be transferred from the treasury to the `beneficiary`.
- `beneficiary`: The destination account for the transfer.

NOTE: For record-keeping purposes, the proposer is deemed to be equivalent to the
