OceanDAO Tech Earmarks

The OceanDAO Core Tech Working Group has prioritized these this core tech, integrations, or applications.

Items on the list for a round have a special earmark in that grants round.

Grant Proposal Eligibility Process

Here is how a grant proposal becomes eligible for tech earmarks.

1. In grant proposal form, grant proposer specifies they’re applying for core-tech earmark, and which one
2. Proposer posts to the #core-tech WG discord requesting approval by the WG. E.g. write "dear core-tech WG, does this proposal meet the core-tech earmark? [link to proposal]"
3. (Optional) feedback / discussion on channel
4. Within 48 h, each core tech WG member can vote a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” to the proposer’s original discord message (step 2).
5. After 48h passed, any core tech WG member will review results and report formally “it’s a fit” or “it’s not a fit”. (Only votes by WG members are counted.) If disagreement, resolve in next WG mtg.

There is a second possible way to do this: steps 2-5 get replaced by: proposer attends a regular weekly core-tech WG meeting (with minimum reasonable quorum), makes the request, and there is a vote right there.
