Your insights are instrumental in shaping a representative and secure voting system. This poll dovetails with our [Setup Package Draft](https://www.notion.so/Setup-Package-6df6ec7ac92d4703af1fee4a89c61da1), and explores the following facets: - **Overall Budget Cap**: Seeking consensus on a $3 million USD overall budget cap, as detailed in the Setup Package. - **Monthly Allocation Limit**: Querying agreement on a $75,000 USD monthly allocation limit, aligned with the Setup Package. - **Carrying Over Unused Budget**: Soliciting views on budget carry-over, in line with the "Unused Budget Allocation" section of the Setup Package. - **3-Month Budget Reviews**: Assessing support for mandatory tri-monthly budget reviews, consistent with the Setup Package. - **Big Budget Item Definition**: Defining the monetary threshold for significant expenditures, mirroring the Setup Package. - **Recurring Budget Item Criteria**: Inquiring about criteria for recurring budget items, matching the Setup Package. - **Setup Package Clarity**: Gathering opinions on the clarity of the Setup Package itself. We strongly encourage community participation. Your collective voice will finalize these governance elements, enriching the NDC community's democratic ethos.
