With the adoption of OpenGov, we have created and followed certain guidelines and directives that have helped us make our decision regarding funding on Polkadot and Kusama. This is NOT a document aimed at becoming a large sets of strict rules for the whole community through social contract and to dictate how they make their decisions. It simply contains some guidelines we thought are important and we abide by them to the extent that it’s possible. Meaning, it’s a subjective assessment which we use and participants of Polkadot’s governance and its parachains are free to adopt in order to make their own decisions.
