Proposal
Each BFC member's term currently ends at the end of Q3 2023. A BFC member’s proposal passing extends their term to the end of Q4 2023.
Note: mod323 currently remains a BFC member in order to advise on hiring, marketing and other projects, but no longer takes payment from Beanstalk Farms, and thus is not submitting a renewal proposal.
