Hack Humanity is seeking $309k of funding from the Arbitrum DAO to host an event and after-party coinciding with ETH CC in Brussels, Belgium. Arbitrum GovHack Brussels will take place as a 3-day event on July 5, 6, and 7, the days directly prior to the start of the conference. ETH CC is only 11 weeks away, so approving the funds ASAP is of the utmost importance to ensure that Arbitrum has a strong presence at one of the most important Ethereum-centric events of the year.
Hack Humanity intends to continue serving the DAO by planning IRL activations and will seek additional funding in the coming months. The time constraints for ETH CC have led us to propose funding solely for this event in hopes of an expedient proposal process prior to asking the DAO for a larger funding package that ensures a long-term and optimal solution for Arbitrum DAO’s event participation.
GovHack Brussels aims to:
GovHack Brussels, improves on and expands GovHack ETHDenver with additional prize pool, the introduction of a subsidy pool for high-value contributors, enhancing and running a proper community showcase day, and adding a dedicated afterparty.
In a world of remote work, decentralized technology, and decentralized finance, the human social-layer needs intentional facilitation and development to mature and enable building this next paradigm of technology and new ways of working together. Online collaboration can only get us so far. A key competitive advantage for the ArbitrumDAO is strategically investing in growing a high-trust network of talented contributors, delegates, service providers, and builders on Arbitrum. GovHack ETHDenver proved the thesis that in-person opportunities for the DAO to work together represent a significant competitive advantage for Arbitrum.

Hack Humanity, was previously funded with a grant from the Arbitrum Foundation to host GovHack ETHDenver. Hack Humanity is looking to build on this success and momentum as an ecosystem development partner through IRL activations with the Arbitrum DAO for the long-term.
It is critical that Arbitrum has a significant presence at industry-leading events, and that contributors have regular and consistent IRL opportunities to grow high-trust relationships. It builds community and brand while attracting users, developers, and other important DAO contributors.
Hack Humanity offers deep custom work pre-event; with ecosystem mapping, facilitating community co-design processes to develop tracks & challenge statements most relevant to Arbitrum, identifying target talent contributor personas, skill gap analysis of who to market and recruit to the ecosystem. Hack Humanity drives innovation through unique custom IRL experiences that mature and evolve the DAO's capabilities.
A well-run event typically requires a minimum of 3 months of lead time, with factors such as securing suppliers, the team’s calendar, and venue down payments requiring capital upfront from the event organizer. We are less than 90 days out from ETH CC, and at this point Arbitrum is not well-positioned to have a strong presence in Brussels. Klaus (Hack Humanity founder) has exemplified his ability to host high-quality IRL activations on behalf of the Arbitrum DAO in the past, so we believe that getting funds approved ASAP so that Hack Humanity can begin organizing a governance hackathon and an after-party is very important.
Relevant Hack Humanity resources:
The most successful crypto brands, such as Uniswap, LayerZero, dYdX, and others, prioritize brand presence at events to reaffirm their positions as industry leaders. ETH CC is an Ethereum-focused event, and Arbitrum should lean into that given its status as the leading Ethereum L2. These events provide substantial value, such as brand strengthening, community building, attracting developer talent, in-person ideation, and more.
Many hackathons cost north of $1M with smart contract base layers like Near, zkSync, Avalanche, and others throwing events/hackathons with more than 1000 participants. It’s important Arbitrum remains competitive with these other protocols to ensure its ability to attract talent.
GovHack will run for three days, boast a prize pool of $20k for GovHack participants, have t-shirts and other swag for attendees to get their hands on, and pre, mid, and post-event media production and storytelling to represent the voice of the DAO and to amplify the event on social platforms.
GovHack is 3 events in 1: A 2-day hackathon-style bootcamp, followed by a 1-day Community Showcase, followed by an afterparty. Hack Humanity is looking to build on GovHack ETHDenver's success and coevolve with the DAO over the long term.
For GovHack Brussels a full impact report and transparency around the event and its cost will be posted in the forum following its completion.
Once spending is approved by the DAO, funds will be sent to a ⅔ multisig to be converted into dollars. These dollars will be used to pay for the costs associated with running and organizing the event. Hack Humanity will provide event details on the forum so that the entire community can participate in the event’s scope and execution.
50% of the funds will be paid to Hack Humanity upon this proposal’s approval. An additional 35% will be disbursed the week before the event, and the final 15% will be disbursed after the event concludes.
The 3 multisig signers will be: Klaus + Abdullah Umar (Arana Digital) + Krzysztof Urbański The multisig address is (arb1) 0x03D47B06Cc95bAFf2a408cD7c735ed7e7142Edb9
Any excess funds from the $309k that are not spent on the Brussels event will be rolled over and used to fund future Arbitrum events, but only if the DAO votes to spend additional funds on future events before the end of August. If the DAO votes against further spending on events, or a proposal fails to pass by the end of August, the excess ARB will be returned to the DAO.
The event will take place July 5, 6, and 7 (2024) in Brussels, Belgium directly before ETH CC. Given the strict timeline, we are hoping to proceed to Snapshot on Wednesday, April 24th (if delegates approve), in order to hopefully have funds earmarked by the end of May.
More details will be shared with the DAO in the weeks leading up to the event surrounding the specifics of GovHack.
With the expedited process as outlined, Hack Humanity will only have a ~5 week buffer to plan the event. It is paramount that if the DAO wants representation at ETH CC, we move with haste.
Brussels is an expensive European city, and successfully executing a world-class high-quality IRL activation requires a significant budget.
The event's research, preparation and delivery phase determines the exact event program design, local costs, the number of participants, any scholarships/stipends, etc. Getting the funds approved is the top priority so that Hack Humanity can begin to work out these details.
The all-in cost to execute this proposal is expected to be $309k, with a rough budget broken down in the following table:
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Venue, Food, Drink, Swag, room equipment, interior decor, printing, stationery | $85,000 |
| Marketing, targeted contributor outreach, Pre/Post Event Media Production, AV equipment rental, hackathon management software and other licensing | $33,000 |
| Hackathon Prize Pool | $20,000 |
| Scholarships | $10,000 |
| After-party + Contingency | $50,000 |
| On-site living costs (5 days, lead in, lead out day + 3 delivery days for a team of 7): Flights, Accommodation, Ubers, Food | $13,000 |
| Hack Humanity margin and fees. GovHack Director and assistant to design, organize, deliver the event. Designer, local Brussels event producer advisory, on-site GovHack delivery team (7). Post-event Impact Report, community engagement, handover. | $98,000 |
| Total Cost: | $309,000 |
Any excess funds from the $309k that are not spent on the Brussels event will be rolled over and used to fund future Arbitrum events, but only if the DAO votes to spend additional funds on future events before the end of August. If the DAO votes against further spending on events, or a proposal fails to pass by the end of August, the excess ARB will be returned to the DAO.
The amount of ARB to be moved to the multisig will be determined in accordance with the dollar equivalent of the trailing 14D ARB TWAP with a 30% buffer. After the ARB is swapped to USDC, any amount in excess of $309k will be immediately back to the DAO.
The scope of this proposal to the DAO is specifically for ETH CC in Brussels. Hack Humanity intends to produce a subsequent proposal to provide a year-round program of events on behalf of the Arbitrum DAO, this will require a larger funding package, with a component to cover a full-time team & and a component for an event budget to cover a series of IRL events. Hack Humanity needs the ability to hire and maintain a dedicated team committed to Arbitrum, this uniquely enables high-context, up to date and relevant continual program design in lockstep with the needs of Arbitrum’s roadmap and community needs, it also enables Hack Humanity and team to commit and block calendar dates for future events 6-12 months in advance, secure venues, and team member's time. This requires upfront funding.
Expect another proposal for further funding in the coming months. We need this GovHack Brussels proposal to be executed swiftly so that the event in Brussels can be organized as soon as possible, hence our decision to seek funding only for this event rather than trying to pass a larger DAO spend.

It's awesome to see how Hack Humanity is gearing up for the event with some serious customization work. Your focus on getting the community involved in designing the tracks and challenges for Arbitrum is spot on. Identifying key roles and skills needed for marketing and recruitment is smart. Love how you're driving innovation through cool IRL experiences that beef up DAO functionalities. Planning more IRL events and seeking extra funding sounds like a solid move. Excited to see your plans unfold! Here are a few quick thoughts: Keep the community looped in every step of the way. Their input will be key. Think about different ways to fundraise. Grants, partnerships, you name it! Don't forget to check in regularly on how things are going. Flexibility is key! Keep up the awesome work, looking forward to seeing what's next!

Definitely was initally very excited, but after a couple of weeks, the expenses just seem to high.
I am not sure if this is an investment banking type event with too much of "other" expenses.
There seems to be no public account of Eth Denver 2024 expenses yet.

Hi!
At Cryptosquare, we're based locally and organize Web3 events throughout the year. We also host side events for ETHCC on behalf of others.
If you're looking for someone local to collaborate closely with, we can help!
Let us know if you're interested 😉

From my experience planning two multi-day conferences as part of @404DAO, the costs associated with GovHack's proposal are reasonable. For our Web3 ATL conferences (~350 to 400 people), our team had similar budgets for the venue, food, AV equipment, pre/post production etc. Providing the quality event experience that the Arbitrum community should strive for will require these types of costs.
Overall I thought GovHack in Denver was a great success, and it is worth expanding upon and bringing to other conferences. And as mentioned in the proposal, these IRL opportunities are vital to growing high-trust relationships and Arbitrum needs to have a presence at major industry events.

It is critical that Arbitrum has a significant presence at industry-leading events, and that contributors have regular and consistent IRL opportunities to grow high-trust relationships. It builds community and brand while attracting users, developers, and other important DAO contributors.
I will also echo the urgency presented by Entropy in this proposal. A three-month lead time for an event of this scale will be challenging. It is possible, but every day counts at this point. Hopefully this can move through the DAO quickly.
It's really impressive seeing delegates coordinate to fast track this proposal. This was one of the EthDenver events that generated the most hype. Looking forward to attending in Brussels.

The approximate budget for GovHack ETHDenver was $200k. It was co-organised and funded with the Foundation, Hack Humanity and sponsorship. The first GovHack event was almost all costs to prove the concept, no profitability.
For GovHack ETHcc in Brussels the event size is 50% larger, we are increasing the prize pool from $15 to 20k, adding a dedicated afterparty, adding $10k of scholarships, proper financing for media, marketing, team, all components.

The top-line figure of $309k has contingency built in and is a high-side estimate to ensure that once the proposal passes on Tally there is always more than enough in the pool to cover any contingencies once detailed research is undertaken for Brussels suppliers. Excess funds are returned to the DAO as agreed in the proposal on Tally.
Voting with Tally passed yesterday, which means the delegates agreed to this proposal and shortly the resources necessary to produce GovHack will soon be available within 3 days to the multisig for Hack Humanity to produce the event.
Personally, ahead of the voting finishing and funding, I have come to Brussels and spent the last 1 week evaluating 53 venues & catering (typically sold as a package by venues), most venues are either too far away, already booked out for ETHcc, or too small, I.e. not fit for what we need in the hackathon 20-30 teams x 5-6 people each on one floor + multiple private breakout rooms. From my research this week, I found that the estimate for this component is fairly accurate. Zeroing in on the final venue selection this week.

Voted "FOR" on Tally. Reasoning is on the previous post
We're voting FOR the ETH CC GovHack proposal on Tally for our previously stated reasons.
Looking likely that we're going to be able to send someone over this summer, can't wait to see y'all in Brussels!
Voting "For" this proposal.
These are the types of projects that can really attract talent and ideas to Arbitrum. While I have not attended one myself, feedback I've read into around the social media space is that it is a worthwhile endeavor. The vision seems like a good one and the cost seems reasonable given the scope. I think this is also in general good for marketing / advertising, so funds can pull double duty.

Look forward to seeing what success comes of this and what the subsequent proposal for a more year-round program looks like. As I would agree having a dedicated team committed to this with a longer scope would be best going forward.
DAOplomats voted in favor of this proposal both during the temp check and on Tally.
We are supportive of this initiative. Amazing ideas have sprung up from previous gov hacks so we are sure more will spurn out of this one. We have also seen a number of these ideas here on Forum and some being implemented by the DAO at large.
It is on this note we are happy to support and see this come to life.
Hi @krst, thank you for the call today to discuss and thoroughly unpack this.
For everyone's benefit, we clarified that framing this issue in terms of IP and DAO ownership isn't clear. The dynamic is that of restraint of trade.

For everyone's benefit, we clarified that framing this issue in terms of IP and DAO ownership isn't clear. The dynamic is that of restraint of trade.
We agree that Hack Humanity will not restrict Arbitrum DAO from conducting a GovHack independently, nor will Arbitrum DAO place any restrictions on Hack Humanity from organizing a GovHack on its own. This mutual agreement ensures that both entities can operate freely without imposing limitations on each other.
The approximate budget for GovHack ETHDenver was $200k. It was co-organised and funded with the Foundation, Hack Humanity and sponsorship. The first GovHack event was almost all costs to prove the concept, no profitability.
For GovHack ETHcc in Brussels the event size is 50% larger, we are increasing the prize pool from $15 to 20k, adding a dedicated afterparty, adding $10k of scholarships, proper financing for media, marketing, team, all components.

The top-line figure of $309k has contingency built in and is a high-side estimate to ensure that once the proposal passes on Tally there is always more than enough in the pool to cover any contingencies once detailed research is undertaken for Brussels suppliers. Excess funds are returned to the DAO as agreed in the proposal on Tally.

Following our previous Snapshot vote, we have decided to vote in favor of this proposal at the Tally stage. We look forward to the upcoming event.
I'm still all in for this proposal. Can't wait to meet up with the DAO in person in a few weeks and see this project come to life!
https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/govhack-at-eth-cc-brussels/23305/27?u=ocandocrypto
I echo the sentiment that real life events are a great opportunity to increase the synergy between all the moving parts of the Arbitrum and the DAO: delegates, committees, protocols and users. I support the proposal, and will have the same position on the on-chain vote.
The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @krst and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two.
Unfortunately, I missed the vote deadline, but I'd like to signal the support for the proposal nevertheless. We will be voting for It in the onchain vote.

Unfortunately, I missed the vote deadline, but I'd like to signal the support for the proposal nevertheless. We will be voting for It in the onchain vote.
We’ll be voting in favor of the proposal as we believe an event such as GovHack is very valuable to the DAO and we want to see it happen both in Brussels for EthCC, and also to continue in other places and times in the future.
However, we want to make it clear that we see GovHack as a DAO initiative that is being facilitated by Hack Humanity. We want to ensure that the DAO reserves the right to the formula/structure of the event, which was partially created by delegate feedback through the mapathons that Klaus hosted, regardless of who the facilitator of the event is.
Having said that, we believe the event to be an excellent source of ideas and momentum for the DAO and we appreciate the work being put forward to organize it, especially on such a short timeline. One note that we’d like to add based on the last event is that we’d like the media coverage to focus on the outcomes of the events (e.g. the proposals created), rather than the event itself.
After examining all the details provided, we are impressed by the clarity and thoroughness of the proposal. Therefore, we have decided to support this initiative. It aims to strengthen Arbitrum's presence at a key Ethereum event, align with our objectives of fostering community and innovation, and build on the success of previous events
This proposal has proceeded to Tally and voting will start in 3 days: https://www.tally.xyz/gov/arbitrum/proposal/22498645709460639498013508413205734891453964526622655693207250687057651118730. We are very appreciative of @coinflip for posting the proposal and helping with this process.
Please see the spreadsheet below used to calculate the amount of ARB, totalling just under 359,000.
We would like to thank @Entropy for putting together the proposal and @KlausBrave and the whole Hack Humanity team for planning the next GovHack.
We vote FOR the proposal because we believe GovHack in ETHDenver was a success in terms of connecting the delegates, contributors and core team members (Foundation and OCL) to have a opportunity to gather and discuss important topics in the Arbitrum DAO. We enjoyed the event as a whole and fully support the succeeding one in Brussels. For the size of the budget, we trust @Pruitt 's comment and consider it reasonable.
Voting in favor on the onchain vote as well.
We vote FOR its on-chain proposal on Tally as described in the previous comment for the Snapshot one. Looking forward to the new GovHack at EthCC.
First of all, we would like to thank @KlausBrave and @Entropy for preparing this enjoyable proposal. We particularly appreciate your effort to prioritize transparency in preparing the proposal rather than leaving room for ambiguity in the spending plan. Our primary goal in reviewing proposals here is to maintain transparency and foster a mutual trust environment. Additionally, we were unsure about the appropriate budget for such a large organization until @Pruitt's comment. We extend our thanks to him. Finally, we hope you navigate through this process of arranging activities without getting too tired in this short time. As the ITU Blockchain delegation team, we vote "FOR" on this proposal.
Thank you all for your questions and feedback I'll be factoring these into the plan in the coming weeks. It's heartwarming to hear the positive results that came from GovHack Denver and I'm eager to continue and grow the magic with GovHack ETHcc Brussels.
Thank you for your votes so far, today is the last day to vote on Snapshot:

Savvy DAO votes FOR GovHack at ETH CC.
@AlexLumley made his feelings very clear here: https://youtu.be/-0Bt-wQt8sE?si=pjdqFgdfgKAYUM25&t=24
GovHack will become a competitive advantage for Arbitrum.
See delegate thread here: https://forum.arbitrum.foundation/t/savvy-dao-delegate-communication-thread/21266/20?u=savvydao
I haven't had the chance to attend the previous events, but I am supportive of these initiatives, and based on feedback from other delegates, the GovHack team knows how to deliver.
I'll be looking forward to the impact report after the event. Voting FOR.
The Princeton Blockchain Club is voting FOR funding another GovHack in Brussels. The GovHack at ETHDenver was a great way for DAO contributors to lock in and get some proposals brewing. These IRL events really help with building trust and fostering collaboration amongst everyone in the DAO, and we'd support funding similar events in the future.
Hoping we can send someone over in July!
The first time I interacted with a governance team after months of study was in Istanbul, on the Arbitrum day. That time, I had the opportunity to connect with @AlexLumley, who since then has been a key person who has selfishly supported, connected and encouraged me to continue contributing in different ways to this DAO and ecosystem.
For me, that in-person connection was key to my next steps and I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to meet IRL the Arbitrum DAO members to welcome them to different opportunities to contribute.
Given the points raised in the previous comments, we have decided to vote in favor of this proposal. We expressed our support, noting that the recent event in Denver appears to have been tremendously valuable.
Voted FOR this proposal on Snapshot for the reasons mentioned above.
Some of our team was at the GovHack event in Denver. We would say it was one of the most effective uses of funds in our opinions. The output that came from this multi-day event was meaningful and also plentiful with a lot of them coming to the forums. Overall, some feedback for next time would be maybe more events throughout the hack as there wasn't too much to do in between hours. Overall, super value $ spend.
The proposal has been updated with the following language "The multisig address is (arb1) 0x03D47B06Cc95bAFf2a408cD7c735ed7e7142Edb9"
This is a 2/3 gnosis safe multisig Klaus has set up with Abdullah (0x3d0e30031b547737fFCf13c127350159A6C4ce17) and Krst (0xa142aB9eab9264807A41F0E5cbDab877D204E233) as signers
Both members of the UADP (@AbdullahUmar and I) attended the GovHack event in Denver and had only great things to say. Ideally, there will be some more broadcasting and media leading up to the event as we had semi-accidentally came across the venue and event for Denver, but are really happy we did! Having more community involvement in judges would also be nice!

And I am very excited to be able to share and support the community in Brussels during EthCC.
Great initiative.
We will provide unconditional support to this initiative for the development of Arbitrum
After consideration Treasure’s Arbitrum Representative Council (ARC) would like to share the following feedback on the proposal
We have voted FOR this proposal across both Tally and Snapshot.
After consideration Treasure’s Arbitrum Representative Council (ARC) would like to share the following feedback on the proposal
We have voted FOR this proposal across both Tally and Snapshot.
The significance of in-person connection cannot be emphasized enough. Events like these serve as catalysts for fostering genuine connections, facilitating collaboration, and nurturing the free flow of ideas, all of which we believe are immensely valuable to the DAO. Given its status as one of the leading crypto conferences, ETH CC presents an ideal setting to further the GovHack experiment.
I'm voting in support of this proposal passing.
ETH CC is the largest European crypto conference and it only seems fitting to host a GovHack there as well. I've heard good feedback coming from participants of the ETHDenver edition and know plenty of people who would love to take part in the Brussels one.

There is a huge need of getting people together to work on governance related issues, I hope it becomes a tradition to host GovHack at major crypto conferences around the world. Another great candidate for a future edition could be Devcon Southeast Asia this November?
Voting "for" on this on snapshot.
I wasn't in Denver, I plan to be in Brussel, and I have only heard good thing about govHack.
Team here has the challenge of putting up the org of a big event in less than 2 and a half month: realistically, they will need funds asap to start paying vendors and suppliers.

Voting for, and hope that a couple of days after snapshot is over goes directly to tally, for the sake of proper execution.
Several people were also able to testify about budget being rightly sized for this type of event, which was my main concern (and the main concern of others).
These comments and thoughts reflect my personal opinions on this proposal. Whilst I am a member of the Arbitrum Representative Council (ARC), they do not necessarily represent the overall views of the council or provide an indication of final voting decision
I am in favour of this proposal as it seems the Denver event was of immense value. I would like to see this be the start of a structured and consistent presence for Arbitrum DAO across all major conferences (events WG?).

Thanks for putting this together @KlausBrave. The loan suggestion @DisruptionJoe also seems a good idea.
It's been great reading through the transparency report and improvements being made. Besides the intangbile value out of the proposals and connections being made on-site (which we can do a better job in materializing after the GovHack, knowing this is high on Klaus' agenda), I feel this was a key community event for the DAO. Fully support a continuation.
Given the circumstances, a one-off funding request here makes sense. From what we can tell, the first event has been extremely valuable, both in tangible and intangible terms. Combined with the well-defined expense structure that seems to be fair in comparison to other similar events (although, if possible, it would be great if a high-level overview of how these figures have been estimated could be provided), we feel comfortable in fully supporting this initiative.
As a side note, we’d more than encourage exploring the feasibility of this solution proposed by @DisruptionJoe as, in the best-case scenario, it could add several weeks to the event planning timeline:

What do people think about a “loan” from Plurality Labs to let the team get a head start as soon as snapshot is conclusive?
Great to see all the support! Following @JoJo's advice, we have made 1 amendment to the proposal.
Before: "The amount of ARB to be moved to the multisig will be determined in accordance with the dollar equivalent of the trailing 14D ARB TWAP"
Great to see all the support! Following @JoJo's advice, we have made 1 amendment to the proposal.
Before: "The amount of ARB to be moved to the multisig will be determined in accordance with the dollar equivalent of the trailing 14D ARB TWAP"
Now: "The amount of ARB to be moved to the multisig will be determined in accordance with the dollar equivalent of the trailing 14D ARB TWAP with a 30% buffer. After the ARB is swapped to USDC, any amount in excess of $309k will be immediately back to the DAO.
We plan to move to Snapshot in 24 hours.
If it's a vast majority voting in favor of the snapshot, then I see no harm in PL providing a loan to enable HH to start the work ASAP since these types of events take a lot of time and the onchain voting takes an awful long time.
In the above case of a large majority, its somewhat fair to assume that its most likely to pass a Tally vote along as no major changes are made.
I think this is an important proposal which must be moved forward quickly.
It was a well run initiative which succeeded in its goals and exceeded expectations.
It means a lot that we reward work well done with renewal and expanded scope. It is important to any potential contributor to see that we reward the behaviors that will help attract top talent and succeed.
Full support.
I'd love to see this on snapshot in the minimal amount of time.
What do people think about a "loan" from Plurality Labs to let the team get a head start as soon as snapshot is conclusive?
As a participant in the last Gov Hack in Denver, I really enjoyed the event and it brought many mission aligned delegates together to work on purposeful projects. hence i am happy to support this initiative.
Unfortunately I could not attend last time due to other commitments, but I heard a lot of great feedback.
I support this proposal. A fair amount of contributions came from the last govhack, and with more preparation and notice, this can be elevated to the next level.
Very happy to support this. As I am from Brussels, I'm also happy to help if needed.
I'm supportive of this proposal. GovHack in Denver was an important event that catalyzed many new initiatives in the DAO. I thought the format did a great job of mirroring Arbitrum's decentralized nature while organizing around relevant themes. I think it's important that Arbitrum has a strong presence at ETH CC and am confident Hack Humanity can deliver. See you there!
I attended govhack in ethdenver & am hugely supportive of the proposal. There was good attendance, lots of interest from first timers in writing proposals for the forum & also top delegates who gave feedback. I actually spoke about govhack to ethglobal & buidlbox , both of whom were startled at the innovativeness of a hackathon where the primary output is proposals
The pilot in ethdenver was successful and i strongly endorse contributing it for eth cc & if successful there too, devcon. The arbitrum foundation covered some of their costs last time due to the short time period but we should not expect this again. ecosystem growth is the DAOs primary responsibility and gov hack is high RoI on that front.
unfortunately i missed denver due to work related stuff.
one of the thing i wanted to participate to, and that I heard very good things, was indeed GovHack.

I am glad that the idea is to expand what was done in Denver in EthCC. This initiatives are really needed in our ecosystem, live events, in which you can effectively connect, are part of that portion of marketing in which we still lack a bit as a Dao. And as Frisson said, making participation "decentralized" like in our Dao matches not only our Ethos but also our way of working.
I suggest 2 things to improve this proposal:
The first time I interacted with a governance team after months of study was in Istanbul, on the Arbitrum day. That time, I had the opportunity to connect with @AlexLumley, who since then has been a key person who has selfishly supported, connected and encouraged me to continue contributing in different ways to this DAO and ecosystem.
For me, that in-person connection was key to my next steps and I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to meet IRL the Arbitrum DAO members to welcome them to different opportunities to contribute.
It is without a doubt a FOR for me.
And I am very excited to be able to share and support the community in Brussels during EthCC.
Great initiative.
We will provide unconditional support to this initiative for the development of Arbitrum
After consideration Treasure’s Arbitrum Representative Council (ARC) would like to share the following feedback on the proposal
We have voted FOR this proposal across both Tally and Snapshot.

The significance of in-person connection cannot be emphasized enough. Events like these serve as catalysts for fostering genuine connections, facilitating collaboration, and nurturing the free flow of ideas, all of which we believe are immensely valuable to the DAO. Given its status as one of the leading crypto conferences, ETH CC presents an ideal setting to further the GovHack experiment.
I'm voting in support of this proposal passing.
ETH CC is the largest European crypto conference and it only seems fitting to host a GovHack there as well. I've heard good feedback coming from participants of the ETHDenver edition and know plenty of people who would love to take part in the Brussels one.

There is a huge need of getting people together to work on governance related issues, I hope it becomes a tradition to host GovHack at major crypto conferences around the world. Another great candidate for a future edition could be Devcon Southeast Asia this November?
Voting "for" on this on snapshot.
I wasn't in Denver, I plan to be in Brussel, and I have only heard good thing about govHack.
Team here has the challenge of putting up the org of a big event in less than 2 and a half month: realistically, they will need funds asap to start paying vendors and suppliers.

Voting for, and hope that a couple of days after snapshot is over goes directly to tally, for the sake of proper execution.
Several people were also able to testify about budget being rightly sized for this type of event, which was my main concern (and the main concern of others).
These comments and thoughts reflect my personal opinions on this proposal. Whilst I am a member of the Arbitrum Representative Council (ARC), they do not necessarily represent the overall views of the council or provide an indication of final voting decision
I am in favour of this proposal as it seems the Denver event was of immense value. I would like to see this be the start of a structured and consistent presence for Arbitrum DAO across all major conferences (events WG?).

Thanks for putting this together @KlausBrave. The loan suggestion @DisruptionJoe also seems a good idea.
It's been great reading through the transparency report and improvements being made. Besides the intangbile value out of the proposals and connections being made on-site (which we can do a better job in materializing after the GovHack, knowing this is high on Klaus' agenda), I feel this was a key community event for the DAO. Fully support a continuation.
Given the circumstances, a one-off funding request here makes sense. From what we can tell, the first event has been extremely valuable, both in tangible and intangible terms. Combined with the well-defined expense structure that seems to be fair in comparison to other similar events (although, if possible, it would be great if a high-level overview of how these figures have been estimated could be provided), we feel comfortable in fully supporting this initiative.
As a side note, we’d more than encourage exploring the feasibility of this solution proposed by @DisruptionJoe as, in the best-case scenario, it could add several weeks to the event planning timeline:

What do people think about a “loan” from Plurality Labs to let the team get a head start as soon as snapshot is conclusive?
Great to see all the support! Following @JoJo's advice, we have made 1 amendment to the proposal.
Before: "The amount of ARB to be moved to the multisig will be determined in accordance with the dollar equivalent of the trailing 14D ARB TWAP"

Now: "The amount of ARB to be moved to the multisig will be determined in accordance with the dollar equivalent of the trailing 14D ARB TWAP with a 30% buffer. After the ARB is swapped to USDC, any amount in excess of $309k will be immediately back to the DAO.
We plan to move to Snapshot in 24 hours.
If it's a vast majority voting in favor of the snapshot, then I see no harm in PL providing a loan to enable HH to start the work ASAP since these types of events take a lot of time and the onchain voting takes an awful long time.
In the above case of a large majority, its somewhat fair to assume that its most likely to pass a Tally vote along as no major changes are made.
I think this is an important proposal which must be moved forward quickly.
It was a well run initiative which succeeded in its goals and exceeded expectations.
It means a lot that we reward work well done with renewal and expanded scope. It is important to any potential contributor to see that we reward the behaviors that will help attract top talent and succeed.
Full support.
I'd love to see this on snapshot in the minimal amount of time.
