The Foundation has proposed the dissolution of the Milestones and Metrics Council following Season 9. As outlined in the Operating Manual, a persistent Council continues into the next Season unless a dissolution proposal is approved.

After multiple seasons of operation, the Foundation has assessed that the Council adds coordination overhead and slows grant disbursements without proportional accountability benefits. Since the Foundation has also proposed dissolving the Grants Council, the Milestones and Metrics Council’s Charter would no longer serve a purpose once community-led grant programs roll off.

You can read the proposal in its entirety here.

If approved, the Milestones and Metrics Council will be dissolved effective immediately. Any remaining milestones for existing Grants Council grants will be monitored by the Foundation via a third-party contractor agreement.

If the proposal is not approved, a prospective Lead would need to propose a budget and recruit candidates in the next voting cycle. The Foundation will not provide operational support or facilitate coordination with core teams.
