In the interest of making sure the GMC has the best data possible when making decisions, and after checking with @ShfRyn, I am drafting up a modified grant proposal specifically for renewals. The Rescue Node was approved for 6 months based on our application in January '23, and it is time for us to start the renewal process.
I hope to keep this shorter than the general grant proposal, and focus on things like realized ROI, completed work, upcoming work, and breakdown of spending
### What grant is being renewed?
#### What work from the previous proposal was completed?
#### What work from the previous proposal is ongoing or pending?
#### What work was not originally planned, but completed, if any?
#### What work is newly slated since the previous proposal?
### Are the results of this project entirely open source ([MIT](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT), [GPL](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html), [Apache](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), [CC BY](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) license or similar)? If not, which parts are not, and why not?
## Benefits - enter N/A where appropriate
### What metrics can you share on the success of the project?
### In less specific terms, how has this project improved the Rocket Pool ecosystem or benefited the Ethereum ecosystem?
## Team
### Who has done the work, and have there been any changes to the team?
### How have the individual constituents of the team been compensated?
### How has maintenance been performed since the delivery of the project?
## Payment and Verification
### Have the acceptance criteria been met?
### What is the proposed payment schedule for the grant? How much RPL and over what period of time is the applicant requesting? Does this differ from the original approved amount?
### Is there a measurable Return on Investment for the project?
### What is the breakdown of spending on development for the original grant vs. maintenance?
## Conflict of Interest
### Does the person or persons proposing the grant have any conflicts of interest to disclose? (Please disclose here if you are a member of the GMC or if any member of the GMC would benefit directly financially from the grant).
### Will the recipient of the grant, or any protocol or project in which the recipient has a vested interest (other than Rocket Pool), benefit financially if the grant is successful?
