Statement
Hello fellow Catalyst Coordinators – I am putting myself forward for nomination as as representative for the Funded Proposer Cohort for Catalyst Circle Version 2 and would appreciate any support from the community. I have posted full details here. All the Best. S
I am putting myself, Stephen Whitenstall, forward for nomination as representative for the Funded Proposer Cohort (also known as Catalyst Coordinators) for the next Catalyst Circle Version 2.
My Fund 5 proposal Quality Assurance DAO sought to assess the pathway of a funded cohort and reporting requirements. And I have been working with IOG and several Community groups including Catalyst Swarm, Eastern Town Hall and SecretDecks to prepare for Fund 6 auditability.
As a Circle representative for the Funded Proposer Cohort, I would:
- Seek the views of Coordinators on Telegram, Discord and at the Biweekly meetings
- Pursue improvements to the reporting of funded proposals collaborating with different Circle representatives to implement a consistent auditability platform.
Thank you for your support

Experience
My experience in respect of Catalyst Circle Version 1 goes back to its formation to July 2021 when I started documenting its progress in a Catalyst Circle Oversight GitBook and I subsequently became part of the Circle Admin Team, as a secretary, minuting from Circle Meeting 5 in September 2021 to the last Meeting 8 in October 2021.
More broadly I became active in Project Catalyst in March 2021 documenting NFT-DAO, then joining Catalyst Swarm in June 2021 creating the Catalyst Swarm Genesis GitBook, participating as a Host in the first Idea Fest and the foundation of the Catalyst School. Later I became involved in the organization and development of Eastern Town Hall in July 2021 together with a diverse and talented global team.
In Fund 5 of Project Catalyst QA-DAO submitted a proposal Quality Assurance DAO in the Developer Ecosystem Challenge that sought to encourage open-source collaboration & innovation and to do a QA Assessment of Catalyst Proposal Process itself. This proposal was successful in receiving votes and was funded in August 2021.
In Fund 6, I submitted 5 proposals including Distributed Auditability and Open-Source Training. These proposals were all successful in receiving votes and will be funded in November 2021. I am a co-proposer on the Homeless Hub proposal with Vanessa Cardui, as well as the Catalyst Swarm and SecretDecks proposals. And I am referenced as a contributor in the Eastern Town Hall and Catalyst School proposals.
I have acted as a Community Advisor in Fund 6, posted regularly in Catalyst Community Discord servers and I am familiar with Zoom, Telegram, Discord, Google Docs and Sheets.
