GIP-134: Pilot a Gnosis Growth Fund for small scale, community-led ecosystem funding

Can someone explain what’s happened here? I support this proposal, but the process seems to once again gone awry.

This went to a vote: https://snapshot.box/#/s:gnosis.eth/proposal/0xff2ea0fb10996165e0d31f25522d24e345146682058f894a42b3ba158905360a

And failed by a gnat’s whisker to reach quorum. This is of course very sad when it has 99% support, but this is the consequence of setting of any threshold.

But then it was recreated here: https://snapshot.box/#/s:gnosis.eth/proposal/0x04d3c72a2ef3a8634730849b0181e860d9a81fe344f29f517fc5230a7f2f44a7

Which raises several questions:

  1. Why was this reposted when it failed? What is the point of Phases 1 and 2 if GIPs can just be posted to Snapshot?
  2. Why has this second vote passed when according to Gnosis rules it failed? (Quorum is 75k “Yes” votes)
  3. Should Gnosis DAO have such an idiosyncratic definition of quorum (which usually doesn’t specify type of vote, only number)?
  4. And, I think most importantly: Why have none of these status changes been communicated on the forum?
