Aye

We are in favor of this one because of the value the Kussamarian provides to the ecosystem. However, for future proposals, some things can be funded by the marketing bounty ( like Saxemberg also mentioned).

Yes, Kusamarian is important from the PR/informative perspective. Next time it should be funded by the marketing bounty, but for now we vote AYE.

Transparency with budgeting on the document @ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Yi8YDJGApWYH8RIp0jGdiNMvIl41zo6xLSB4SGFS1uY is commendable, and it's without doubt that The Kus is a very important piece of the ecosystem. I support the proposal, however I'm not very comfortable with a top-up request while there's still around 4 months until the end of the period funded by Ref. 668. Future proposals should also be considered in light of the Marketing Bounty developments.
