EDIT:
This proposal was created due to Adam Steeber's request on AAG #117 to have more proposals and ideas for the Kusama DV to crunch on. I discussed these on AAG #119. The purpose of these bounties is to form proto-collectives around ideas in principle. By creating these bounties and segregating this funding it does the following:
- Shows that the community supports an idea in principle which should incentivize people to work toward that idea.
- Allows us to have discussions on structure and mechanisms at a later date
- It reduces the burn on the treasury (We have burned $1.5M on kusama in the last year alone). By putting 50% of the treasury into bounties based on ideas in principle, we reduce the burn rate by 50%.
Stake Plus will not be involved in any of these proto-collectives as either curator or as a member. These are ideas that I've (Tom) had rolling around in my brain and thought I would shoot them out. I look forward to seeing ideas presented by other agents.
If there is a person or team interested in leading this collective, they should put together a proper proposal and apply with that idea along with a full set of curators using the bounty.proposeCurator() extrinsic. If no one steps forward, at minimum we're reducing the burn and these funds can be reaped back to treasury in the future.
The provided proposal document is meant to be a framework of how I was approaching the idea.
This proposal seeks to establish a proto-collective tasked with auditing historical deliverables of Polkadot treasury proposals, ensuring proponents meet their obligations and safeguarding the treasury's assets. It will enable up to 50 independent ecosystem agents to join, with 4 auditors randomly selected for each audit to assess deliverables and generate transparent, JSON-integrated reports for ecosystem-wide governance enhancements.

Its not clear about the spendings and who are behind this proposal, I agreed with @Paradox
NAY for now
