Good Morning everyone,
After reviewing the whole thread, going through the TG AADAO group messages for any further context, reviewing prop 865, and speaking with several people in DM’s, we strongly recommend that @Youssef resign immediately, without any further payment.
We urge that the AADAO promote an internal existing member to serve as a temporary GM to replace Youssef while the team works to create a process to elect a new one. From our understanding a gov prop will need to be made and approved to do so.
Misuse of community pool funds is essentially theft against the community, and I don’t care how “disrespectful” this comes across against Youssef. Disrespecting the community is >>>> disrespecting Youssef/any single entity.
Prop 865 wasn’t meant to be drained via paying the GM more, it was meant to bring in innovation and new builders.
To both Grace and Patricia, whom we spoken to in private regarding the situation, we appreciate all your efforts and dedication to trying to do the right thing. No one should ever have to put up being treated and spoken to like that. More than happy to excise my asshole Marine mentality as a moderator/supporter on your next call.
Since these reports and findings, plus lots of work in the backend to do so and bring it in a well written format that takes lots of time, you two should split his current bonus. 
If we are going to consider any work “exemplary” to bonus, these reports are it.
