AI Summary:

This proposal requests funding to compensate the five members of Polkadot’s Social Media Editorial Board (EB) for their six-month term (September 15 - March 15). The EB works in collaboration with ET90266 and Distractive to create content and grow engagement for Polkadot’s decentralized social media accounts, which are legally managed by Web3 Foundation. Each EB member, selected through an application and interview process, brings expertise in areas like content creation, marketing, and community engagement. The members will receive a monthly salary of 2,500 USDT, distributed via a multisig wallet controlled by all five members and ET90266.

Context and Funding Structure
The EB’s decentralized approach aligns with Polkadot’s values by engaging community experts in social media content strategy. The funds requested will be paid in three tranches over six months to ensure sustained contribution. Although Polkadot's Marketing Bounty will soon manage similar proposals, it will not be ready for disbursements until December; hence, this request is being made through OpenGov for community approval.
