Budget Proposal Review workshop (Core) - Western Hemisphere

​Agenda:

​This workshop will begin reviewing proposals submitted to the 2025 budget process in the Core categories.  The workshop will cover some baseline information about the core category and host breakout discussions to review and discuss proposals. Committee members, subject matter experts and those who submitted proposals are invited to participate and offer insights to DReps.

​Proposals to review:

​Cardano Maintenance and Roadmap Delivery Proposal: Secure Ada Network Infrastructure for the enTire cardano communitY

​TWEAG's proposals for multiple core budget projects

The first two proposals in this workshop will have 15 mintues to pitch given the complexity. Following that, each vendor will have 5 minutes to pitch their proposal, followed by 5 minutes for Q&A. This ensures we stay on track and are able to get through all of the proposals.
At this session, we’ll be prioritizing proposals within the Core category.
Proposals that don’t fall within this category, may present if time permits, after all pitches for Core category have been completed.
