Cardano Summit Stop/Start/Continue Exercise

Budget Presentation Retro
STOP	START	CONTINUE
Too much discussion on Discord, which is harder to keep up. Instead put ? on the portal.	Utilize treasury to seed USDA liquidity. There needs to be full buy-in from Cardano entities before 3rd party seed.	Catalyst
Nothing to stop. Everything seems to be good for now.	Establish internal audit process.	Communication
Tradeoffs between single and multiple actions need to be explained.	Utilize treasury to increase 1. new projects on Cardano and 2. porting non-Cardano web3 projects to Cardano.	Be transparent.
	Utilize Catalyst to drive commercialization on Cardano (ie. Catalyst to drive ROI on Cardano)	Radical transparency.
	Transparent communication with members. Perhaps more communication mechanisms.	Consulting Cardano community.
