The proposal seeks to do a survey, report and facilitate retrospectives to improve their governance processes. They aim at providing community oversight of improvements to Catalyst governance by collecting feedback and providing tracking, documentation and analysis of any proposed changes. The challenge is effectively addressed.

As a Cardano community member, I really appreciate that the team of the right experience members is willing to put the spent time and heart into this proposal to address the current governance issues and come up with the solution to tackle those. I believe there is a small risk regarding the representative in the proposed governance bodies. For instance, community members and Cardano crypto holders who wish to participate in such governance bodies that are non-speak English and, yes, the current body, for example, a Catalyst Circle V2 has not included anyone from the non-English community, so I hope that your team should reconsider or add on some parameters to fill this missing element.

This latest iteration in the eventual self-governance of Project Catalyst is an auditability measure for the very process of self-governance. By producing surveys from 1)Catalyst Circle, 2)Technical Council, and 3)Challenge teams (internal surveys), as well as surveys from the Catalyst Community regarding 1)Challenge Settings, 2)Problem Sensing, and 3)governance parameters (external surveys), and by hosting workshops, this Oversight group will facilitate improvements to the governance process, and provide documentation and tracking of these activities to the community. Rather than changing things, and seeing what breaks, this kind of oversight allows for safe, consistent, iterative moves along a predictable timeline towards total self-governance for the Catalyst fund, and the eventual automatic governance of Cardano. This iterative process protects Cardano from: central authority capture, unfair representation of key groups, unaccountable governance, blindside adversarial capture, lack of transparency and clarity. Meanwhile it enables: formal security mechanisms, formal emergency mechanisms, and engaged, agile governance.

A great idea with a big perspective. We need a governance oversight to establish a framework and be specifically focused on auditing. Yet, the tools used for it- are detective - finding a deviation after it occurred. We would need a more dynamic tool since we are living in a dynamic online world.

Yet a good idea.

Therefore, based on the given information, I strongly agree with this proposal's impact, I would rate it with a score of 5

The road map is clear from February 2022 to April 2022 with details in the proposal; The budget is well broken down to details for effective auditing.

This proposal provided a lot of meaningful information, with external links for verification. Therefore, based on the given information, I strongly agree with this proposal's auditability, I would rate it with a score of 5

The team has highlighted the parameters to be included and how they will deliver those. The entire process is uploaded and available for the public to access online to view and monitor the proposal progress and outcomes.

They will be using tools that are already providing transparency and clarity for the community's oversight of Catalyst Circle. The 13 deliverables, spread among surveys, retrospectives and reports provide an easily monitored timeline of productivity and effectiveness, with natural audit points that keep time with events already regularly occurring within the community, such as Town Halls. The team itself has regularly been held accountable to the community, as funded proposers, elected Catalyst Circle representatives and toolmakers and mentors.

Metrics stated such as surveys or zoom meetings are easy to be audited.

The progress can be also audited e.g. by meeting subtasks such as recruiting new people.

The roadmap seems reasonable.

Points 1 and 2 The Oversight group will be formed The Audit Circle will be formed.

requires more detail. Unless it just "will be formed".
