#1330 · TIP for DDS and Lucy

Gm Polkadot,

This is a tip request for the work done by DonDiegoSanchez and Lucy Coulden. We’re asking a joint tip of 9910 DOT for our involvement and the work we did for The Polkadot Network over the past 5 months.

This tip proposal covers both our activities as Head Ambassadors and all the work of collecting, coordinating and editing the Ambassador Fellowship manifesto that led to the soon-to-be-passed ref 1267 & 1287. We're asking for this tip together because we feel that the work we've done on the Phoenix programme is not separable and should be seen as a whole, and also as an attempt to reduce OpenGov solicitation as much as possible.

We’re asking for a double tip of 4955 DOTs which we believe is a fair compromise between the expectation we had when running as head ambassador and the amount of work and results we both delivered as Head Ambassadors and coordinators of the Phoenix Program.

You can check the work achieved as ambassadors through both of our reports : DonDiegoSanchezLucy

Generally we're voting Nay against any funding requested in retrospect. If you believe you should be paid for something, then you should ask for the funds BEFORE you do any job. However, this is not what mainly bothers me here (since you really did a good job), but the fact that you're asking it "surprisingly" in DOT tokens because it had a nice rally recently

It's very obvious that if DOT price was $3 now, your proposal would be nominated in USDC (which I'm sure you know you can claim now exactly like DOT), or if DOT will go down to $3 in the following weeks, you'll obviously come later and ask to top up since the price crashed and your 9910 DOT worth much less the moment you received it

IMHO, unless I'm missing something here, this is very dishonest behaviour. If you think you should get $5k per month each ($25k for 5 months), why not ask for $50k for both of you in USDC? if you insist to get it in DOT - why not asking it based on the current DOT price?

Anyhow I wish you good luck!
