The whole idea behind the Virtual Corporation is that anyone can step up to the plate and work for it, if accepted by the voters.
And I must suggest strongly, that anyone wanting to do a proposal, think months in advance, start a discussion on it (preferably on Dashwhale). You need time to gain the approval of such a diverse group of voters. The community needs time to digest your proposal, make suggestions, and for you to implement those suggestions. In a very real way, the forum thread that contains your proposal is your contract with the Dash Virtual Corporation. These proposals have been coming out so loosely, mostly things that Evan says he'd like us to do, and we just do it. Eventually, proposals should come from anyone, and they should be formalized in a thread, with final specifications and a time table. The community should keep them honest and raise the red flag if something is going wrong, so the MN can vote down the proposal and stop the funding on solid grounds.
Don't get me wrong, we Know our current core team are keeping tight watch on all funds they spend, and they're a small group doing so many things, but plan on putting that ledger out for public view. But that's not how a decentralized system should work, (relying on one person to tell us what to fund and do) and we need to start setting up some rules/traditions. IMO
Look what happened to DashWhale's proposal. The implimented Evan's vision of a place where we can manage Dash voting, and a forum for proposals. However, Evan never formally Green lighted the project, I suspect because he doesn't want to be the almighty dictator and to let MN voters do the right thing. And MN voters won't support it, with many saying the reason was that Evan didn't say they should. We all (community and MN voters) need to grow up and make the decisions that are right for Dash. Will others that start projects, hoping to show they can do it prior to asking for funding, now stop because it looks very much like they can't win approval? A project that's already obviously had a TON of work put into it for the benefit of the Dash Virtual Corporation, can't even get funding boggles my mind.
Otherwise it's been going very well

This hits the nail on the head, TanteStefana2.
Fully agree astonished to see the dashwale proposal not getting enough yes votes
why would a 3rd party app get funding from Dash ?
i do not understand why you are still pushing for this.
I am not a member there, no need for me (i do not share my details)
why would i vote for them to get funding ?
it is a great app, sure, but they could ask their customers to pay a dash a month and everything is settled !
why don't they ?
these 'emotional' discussions about votes like this or like that
come on, it has nothing to do with evan giving some kind of 'hand signal' that everybody votes yes or no !
i think (and hope) we are old enough to do that on our own.
so please let it go
I think it should be funded for the central forum hub where proposals can be discussed and hammered out by developers, community and MN voters. For that part of the site, I think they should get funding. The other part, which actually also benefits DASH as a currency, is more controversial because not all MN owners would want to use it (I don't). IMO the MN management section makes it easier for MN voters to view and interact with the community, then submit their votes, increasing participation, it is also worthy of funding. But secondary to the first reason. Ask any of these guys around here if they receive enough voluntary donations to actually pay for the work and resources they put out for.
Still, it's just my opinion.
