After multiple considerations, the community's decision was to disapprove of the top-up request submitted as Referendum 144 and officially mark the end of Infrastructure Maintenance Bounty #13, which worked to aid teams that have been funded by the treasury before to maintain infrastructure and perform continued operations to reduce the work of resubmitting the treasury proposals and time constraints associated with it - the bounty funded teams that provided common goods to the community, including RPC endpoint providers, indexers, governance forums and block explorers.

This proposal aims to formalise the community decision and close the bounty on-chain. All the remaining funds will be sent to the treasury, and the curator deposit will be unreserved if possible.

Please note that as a result of this new approach, all the core essential infrastructure providers are now asked to submit their maintenance requests via OpenGov.

Overall 50 % of users are feeling against it. The submitted proposal, which included a flawed extrinsic, failed to achieve its intended purpose and required revision as it was incorrectly categorized under "Treasury.ProposeSpend" instead of the correct category "Treasury.Spend".

Hello, I have already contacted you by element

This ecosystem no longer needs high-quality educational content, we just need competitive content creators...

Good ideas and good intentions do not solve anything, only competitive professionals do.

Delighted to resolve serious doubts in depth to continue advancing with your project. But, please, do not take examples of previous content proposals as a reference for what you want to do, because the approach should be changed for the most part.

Here's a gift for your team, links to two drafts that I have been working on so that you can have a more serious reference of how the CCI (Content Creation Initiatives) should be rethought. Both in fundamental approach and in competitive content formats to work on.

1 - General Model for Content Creation Initiatives

2 - Polkadot Competitive Content Suggestions

We must rethink these types of proposals. Expensive content with no results brings absolutely nothing to the ecosystem.

We must hyperactively abandon budgets based on paying for "X number of pieces of content." F*ck the content created to receive easy and fast money. This generates bad practices and a job that is 0 competitive with the real world outside of the fictitious economy that has been generated in this clumsy industry.

Any project or business financed 100% by public money will rarely be competitive.

We need creators and well-trained local/lingo hubs with a professional background for the task they want to cover. Initiatives that can be competitive, not initiatives that only generate pieces of content because it has been paid for from the treasury. Do not try to look for reference points within the ecosystem, because you will not find them. The fact that the other elements from which you have been able to take an example are incompetent does not imply that you have to follow in their footsteps.

I leave you one more gift, ask yourself the following questions:

What is your goal in the medium-long term? Do you want to be a Local Hub?
Do you want to create a professional and competitive business from Polkadot Latam? Do you think that it should always be 100% financed from the treasury with public money?
Have you taken into account or contacted the team of other more experienced initiatives in the ecosystem and related to what you want to do, such as Creadores Web3, Polkadot Hub or the Bounty in Spanish?

Excuse me if I'm too harsh, but the problem is not a matter of budget. It does not matter to me if you want to present a budget of 10k, 30k or 100k, what I want is for this ecosystem to begin to be realistic with how these proposals should be worked on professionally.

I am not going to extend more with this message, because, the truth, in the end I should start charging these consultancies XD.

Good luck guys :)

Hello, you make a lot of sense. Our vision is to become a community and make Central America a strong community on Polkadot in the long run. The content we provide is just the key to get started and get people to start getting to know the ecosystem.

Voted Nay

This proposal was submitted with an extrinsic that would not yield the desired result.

It should be Treasury.Spend not Treasury.ProposeSpend
