Thanks for sharing your perspective! Perhaps the most important question is how much, and of course, it depends. I’d support a very open system that encourages DAO contributors to request amounts that seem fair. This may include council efforts, e.g. onboarding, reviewing payouts and other proposals, giving feedback, voting, and reporting. I’m excited to develop rewards for [Community DAO Council](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/Council) members… > [@FritzWorm](#): > > Additionally, it is good to keep some experience on the team and also to rotate and give opportunities to new members. That is why we should come up with an evaluation process where we can add the feedback from the community members related to that vertical/DAO. I wonder if there is a more recent version of the Brutus project? We could try it out! The open [Community group](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/community.sputnik-dao.near/groups/Community) is a pool of 100+ potential council members, and our stakeholders can see who is actively voting and how. Might even imagine a future DAObot automatically proposing council rearrangements on a quarterly basis? > [@\[CHALLENGE\] Brutus, an experiment in governance](http://gov.near.org/t/challenge-brutus-an-experiment-in-governance/4190): > > Hello all!
