Prop 12A: Flight Subsidy for Chaos Members to NYC
Author: greydient, Russ
Funding Cycle: 02/2023
Status: Workshop Outline*
With the upcoming Chaos live event at NFT.NYC, the chief goal is to create a crescendo moment that formally brings the Chaos camp to an end in an intentional way. This proposal suggests that the most impactful way to achieve this goal is to bring together as many members of Chaos as possible for this IRL event.
This proposal requests funds of ~$16,740 USD from the Chaos Common Pool to subsidize flight costs for Chaos members to be able to attend and participate in a live event at NFT.NYC (April 12-14 2023). We would aim to get as many band members out to NYC as possible to be a part of this night.
This proposal provides two potential avenues for determining how to best distribute these funds, with the goal of increasing attendance at this Chaos live event. In the event that this proposal reaches a final vote, three options will be presented; “Option A”, “Option B”, and “No”. Both “Option A” and “Option B” will be considered as votes in favor of passing this proposal, with the most voted for option determining the method for subsidy calculation.
Option A
This option gives each participating Chaos member an equal subsidy amount, determined only by the number of Chaos members attending the event. This is calculated by dividing the $16,740 subsidy budget by the amount of attending Chaos members.
| # of People | Subsidy/Person |
|---|---|
| 77 | $217.40 |
| 55 | $304.36 |
| 40 | $418.50 |
| 30 | $558.00 |
(This table is for demonstrative purposes only, and the final subsidy/person will be calculated with the exact number of members attending)
Option B
This option gives each participating Chaos member a subsidy amount relative to the cost of their flight. This would result in Chaos members who live further away from NYC receiving a larger subsidy than Chaos members who live closer to NYC, due to the increased cost of travel.
To calculate the subsidy amount, there will be four categories, each pertaining to a different flight cost range. When using this option, it is more challenging to determine ahead of time what the end subsidy per person will be, since this number is heavily impacted by the amount of attendees, and the cost of their travel plans.
Below is a sample of how the subsidy may be distributed based on these four different ranges of flight costs.
