Remaining Funding

-

As the programs utilized the same multisig to receive funding and pay operational costs out of, the analysis for spend has been combined.

The proposals outlined planned operational spend - funding was split between program management (including Questbook's fee), domain allocator compensation and general operational expenditure. Note that in the extension proposal, an amount of $54k was added to cover 6 months of overheads - this was outlined to cover 20% of full time salaries of program managers and domain allocators. As it was not directly split between those categories, it has been included in operational costs below. All costs were defined in USD and therefore spend data has been converted to USD at the exchange rate as at the transaction time. Operational Budget (USD) Operational Expenditure (USD)
