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.
