@lee0007

APWG lead stipend is inclusive of all rewardable COOP work based on 55 hours per week

@lee0007 just curious where this standard came from?

Hi Don, I’m not aware of any standard for contributor rewards except around FTE employees. This is simply drawn from the conversation above,

@lee0007

Hi @pujimak_in I fully support you as APWG lead and because you are listed as a core contributor on a number of other working groups can you please specify which 1) working groups and 2) provide an indication of how you are looking to split your time please across multiple responsibilities

@pujimak_in

When formulating how WG Lead should be rewarded; I was advised on a couple of ways to on how WG Lead can approached in his/her remuneration;

1. a fixed sum which includes all my work time and contributions across multiple working groups.
2. a reduced sum (which only focused on the work I’m doing internally in a WG) but also claiming rewards across the other WGs when cross working happens with its respective working group.

@pujimak_in

Thus it is my preference to be paid a fixed and inclusive sum representing the 55 hours per week I expect to contribute across multiple working groups, knowing that at times this may be higher but not less.

That said, I would like to thank the team @Hammad1412 @teewhy for the newly automated contributor rewards process and hope that with significantly less time required to collate/process rewards there will be more time - in combination with the Index 2.0 conversations - to establish standards and provide needed transparency around contributor rewards.
