Hey Joe, I can see what you’re getting at but there is some inconsistency with this approach compared to other wg leads.

The working groups were set up with the following in mind:

> [@Laying the rails for Working Groups (WG) v1](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/laying-the-rails-for-working-groups-wg-v1/975/1):
>
> WG leader(s) are committed to serving the entire Index Coop with the outcomes they are being paid to produce. This is for the comparatively few folks who have the time, energy, bandwidth, focus, and desire to uphold this level of commitment.

> [@\[Deprecated\] Clarifying Index Coop Contribution Options](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/deprecated-clarifying-index-coop-contribution-options/1667/1):
>
> Working Group Leaders & their Core Contributors are directly responsible to the Coop community for the results of their Working Groups and are expected to exhibit a high degree of ownership. These Working Group duties should be met before contributing to other parts of the Coop.

We haven’t seen anything that resembles double dipping if you look at wg leaders rewards since working groups were introduced, other leads have instead focused on delivering their priorities and scoping the stipend to suit. Including an amount for potential future work doesn’t seem like the right approach. The upside of which is that high impact stuff (like Matt’s leadership of the AAVE proposal) will be rewarded appropriately. Leads are held accountable by what they set out in their proposals, so if someone tried to game the system, it’s unlikely the community would vote them in to lead the next iteration.
