This proposal is posted here for transparency and initial feedback. It will be moved to the R Group snapshot in a few days
R Group is a sovereign group of builders that is currently being funded as part of the ecosystem funding efforts of Rarible DAO
This is a proposal to continue my full-time engagement with R Group for another six months following my initial 2-month trial period.
My initial trial proposal can be found on the Rarible DAO governance forums.
This 6 month period will last from 2021-12-11 until 2022-06-10. Membership in R Group is contingent on ongoing group consensus among all group members.
