Hey @ChrawnnaCorp , rat pack here. You missed some questions in the MB ( Marketing Bounty Deep Dive - #44 by ChrawnnaCorp ), but this post actually feels even more relevant.
So here we go again:
-
When are you going to organise AAG where you will dissect Marketing Bounty with the same standards you did for all other opengov proposals? Even tho MB is getting closed, the question of transparency remains - or do you think because it is getting closed, we should just leave it be?
According to your answer:
No. And the reporter moniker does not well describe the service I provide to The Kus & OpenGov. Probably more, like all funded media, a propagandist. In this case for the productive ecosystem agents who vote. Since I’m a DOT holder, I’m well aligned with them.
-
You say you are not a reporter but propagandist, which is surprising since this distinction was never clearly explained in your proposals - you applied for financing as a independent media company and you showed us your internal ethical guidelines which a) clearly say “accurate reporting”, “journalistic integrity”, “non speculation”. This is the complete opposite to “propagandist for the productive ecosystem agents who vote.”
-
Now that we have established you are not a reporter but instead deal with propaganda for “productive ecosystem agents” - can you please post the guidelines and a checklist on how your operations grade ecosystem agents as productive?
-
Would you say the following statement is correct: opengov funds KUS, KUS is a propagandist which decides on which ecosystem agent is productive and pushes that agents agenda?
-
Would you say that in a system where propagandist operates with “productive ecosystem agents” the parameters of “productive” should be known to a wider Polkadot community or is this something you want to control yourself?
-
Which productive ecosystem agents are you working for at this point? Can you list them?
-
-
Isn’t main purpose of KUS spreading Polkadot values outside of Polkadot with primary focus on obtaining new users for the ecosystem?
-
Can you specify your previous financial or other collaboration with Crane (outside of MB) - please be specific, with dates and value transfers (if the financing was paid from OpenGov or other Polkadot funded incentives)
-
Can you explain your affiliation, membership status with Chaos Dao?
-
What does a propagandist following “accessibility, truth, fairness, integrity” do in a DAO that is closed to public with a single rule that prevents members from posting screenshots - good example would be Chaos DAO - what is your role there? Have you ever executed any propaganda within Chaos DAO that would lead to favorable financial outcomes for you, marketing bounty or any other bounty financing your operations?
-
Were you ever financed by the events bounty, and if so, can you please report when, how much and what were the specific deliverables?
-
One of the guidelines you are bound to internally is “non speculative”. How would you grade your recent promotion of stopping DOT burning mechanism within the context of non speculative? Since the motion directly affects DOT emissions, it is speculative in its nature and you took a clear stance on the proposal. Is this coming from your “propagandist” side or your “journalistic” side. If its coming from “propagandist side” please show us your “propagandist” internal guidelines, so we can compare them to your “journalistic” guidelines, and please be clear which guidelines apply when you apply for funding next time.
-
If you have thought about setting yourself to a same standard as you enforce for other projects (regarding inbound traffic and transaction metrics) and you say it is possible to implement it, why wait for Polkadot People? Why not tell us right now how you plan to implement it in the following weeks and how you plan to upgrade it once Polkadot People is out? This is a crucial metric for the whole ecosystem, it is shocking you have thought about it, never implemented it and even though you recognise the importance you deferred the implementation to an undefined time in the future?
-
Can you please disclose the company name that charges opengov for Kus operations?
-
Can you deploy total set of invoices (with masked personal data) across last 12 months?
-
Would you be open for an independent financial audit of your company, financed by OpenGov, executed by established legal teams such as Deloitte, Ernst&Young or similar?
Think for yourself, question authority.
