Gitcoin recognizes that governance is an ongoing challenge to equitably meet the demands of different stakeholder groups. Our attempt to arbitrate and decentralize is through the creation of the Gitcoin Stewards. This starting point allows us to bring in ideas and oversight from external stakeholders while holding tension with internal contributors. The Gitcoin Stewards are a volunteer collection of GTC holders, investors, contributors, grantees, grantors, and enthusiastic fans of public goods who believe in the Gitcoin Mission to build and fund digital public goods. Each year this diverse group of delegates collectively contribute hundreds of hours in reading and commenting on forum posts, reviewing and commenting on budgets, participating in lively discord conversations, listening to weekly and monthly calls as well as faithfully representing those who delegate their GTC governance votes to them. This year, we want to thank our Stewards and recognize those who have gone “above and beyond” by issuing specially made poaps.
