Hi @sixtykeys,
Thank you for bringing this up. We really appreciate feedback and welcome open discussion.
Currently, all working group and operational expenses are paid from the Funding Council. For context, the Operations Account is to start with a small amount of funds so the TWG can demonstrate competency. In time, we expect Operational expenses to be paid from the Operations Account. TWG will endeavour to built trust, demonstrate competency and enable the community to endorse running Coop wide operational expenses from the Operations Account. It is important to recognise this is $500K of $7.75M from the treasury. The treasury wallet breakdown can be seen here.
Please do express all question and queries here and the TWG will most certainly respond to the best of our ability.
