Term 12 Plan (02.06.23 - 17.06.23)

1. Current WG composition:

Comment: Following my analysis done last term (https://joystream.notion.site/Traffic-analysis-2023-05-27-3f5fb9b19e1241c9a28b68bf23499dc3?pvs=4), I’m not planning to hire any regular workers until some specific need arises. I may consider hiring someone to help with monitoring DWG operations in next terms.

2. Planned WG budget:

Regular workers salaries: 8 * 11,660 JOY = 93,280 JOY

Monitoring worker salary: 3,000 JOY

Lead salary: 41,040 JOY

Total spending: 137,320 JOY

Comment: Following council support for SWG proposal (https://pioneerapp.xyz/#/proposals/preview/342), this term I’ve planned to double regular and monitoring (not lead) worker salaries. Figures above already include this change. Like stated previously, this increase will make salaries more competitive and decrease the gap between regular workers and lead and council.
