    "comment": "Voting: Abstain\n\nI support compensating CC members. The role demands time, constitutional familiarity, and ongoing engagement, and compensation helps ensure participation isn’t limited to well-resourced groups or individuals. Funding the CC from a neutral source aligns with the constitution and supports institutional independence.\n\nHowever, the request doesn’t provide enough detail to assess whether 200,000 ada per member is proportionate to the work involved. It’s unclear how many individuals within each group will receive compensation, whether any group members are opting out, or how responsibilities are shared. Without this information, it’s difficult to judge whether the proposed amount fairly reflects the effort required.\n\nBased on publicly available information, the estimated number of individuals in each requesting group is:\n\n- Cardano Atlantic Council: 6\n- Tingvard: 6\n- Eastern Cardano Council: 7\n- Ace Alliance: 5\n- Cardano Japan Council: 5\n\nIf all individuals are requesting compensation, the per-person amount would fall roughly between 28,500 and 40,000 ada, but this is still an assumption. A clear breakdown of (1) who is being compensated, (2) how the internal allocation works, and (3) the expected time commitments per individual would allow DReps to assess the fairness of the request with more confidence.\n\nFuture requests would also benefit from a transparent compensation framework that accounts for both multi-individual groups and single-individual members. Even though no solo members are seeking compensation this round, establishing this now would be useful. A base amount per CC member plus an additional amount per individual contributor would better align compensation with workload and avoid disadvantaging single-member seats.\n\nGiven the lack of clarity and the difficulty of verifying whether the budget is appropriate, I am voting Abstain. The proposal is directionally sound, but it needs clearer justification and a transparent compensation structure before it can be properly evaluated."
