Title
GIP 33: Revoke the Budget Approved in GIP 32

Category
Community Support & Decision — Others

Abstract
This proposal seeks the revocation of the budget approved under GIP 32. By canceling the budget and returning all unspent funds to the DAO treasury, the GhostsProject DAO will ensure better accountability and mitigate the ongoing concerns regarding the effectiveness and sustainability of the Fragments expansion efforts.

Rationale
Ineffective Expansion Efforts:
Previous initiatives, such as GIP 30 and GIP 31, aimed to expand the Ghosts Fragments but have shown limited to no measurable results. This has led to growing doubts about their sustainability and benefit to the broader GhostsProject narrative.

Need for Accountability:
Revoking the GIP 32 budget will enable a comprehensive audit and ensure that the DAO’s funds are allocated responsibly.

Reallocating Resources:
By halting all funding under GIP 32, GhostsProject DAO can re-evaluate and reallocate resources toward more viable initiatives that align with the community’s needs and interests.
Implementation Plan

Freeze Existing Payments:
All approved but unspent funds under GIP 32 are immediately frozen. No new disbursements or payments will be processed.

Return Funds to Treasury:
Once frozen, any unspent balance is to be transferred back to the DAO treasury within 48 hours.

Audit & Reporting:
An internal or external review team will be assigned to conduct a thorough audit of GIP 29, GIP 30, GIP 31, GIP 32 expenditures.
A final report outlining spending details and any irregularities will be presented to the DAO for feedback and recommendations.

Future Reallocation:
Following the audit, any decisions on reassigning the revoked budget will be subject to a new DAO proposal and community vote.

Ask
There is no request for additional ETH under this proposal. Instead, it calls for the revocation of the GIP 32 budget. The primary request is community consensus to re-appropriate these funds and ensure more effective usage in future initiatives.

Yes / No
Yes: Approve the revocation of the GIP 32 budget, freeze all remaining funds, conduct an audit, and return unspent amounts to the treasury.
No: Do not revoke the GIP 32 budget, allowing its allocated funds and expenditures to continue as previously planned.

This proposal aims to restructure the DAO’s membership by dismissing the existing staff and forming a new audit team. It should be categorized under Core: Process & Infrastructure, which typically requires a 15% quorum. However, setting a 15% quorum may give holders the impression that the current staffs are obstructing changes by leveraging their own guidelines. Therefore, this proposal will be set the quorum at 10%.
