This proposal would fund certain outstanding obligations for a number of conferences taking place over the next several months where we are currently underfunded.
Background
Dash Core Group submitted two conference proposals in the February and March budget cycles. Both proposals passed and Dash Core group received the necessary funds to sponsor and participate in the following conferences:: MPE Berlin, Money 2020 Asia, Token 2049 Singapore, Bitcoin and Blockchain Conference Moscow, Global Blockchain Summit Denver, Consensus NY, Money 2020 Europe, MoneyConf and Money 2020 US.

Why additional funds are requested
Due to a combination of factors, the conferences and travel budget is now depleted and we are now requesting additional funding to cover certain outstanding obligations. The factors that contributed to the funding short-fall are as follows:
The price of Dash has fallen significantly since the time Dash Core Group budgeted for all of the conferences. Specifically, for each proposal Dash Core Group requested 653 Dash at the exchange rate of $720 USD/Dash, and 417 Dash at the exchange rate of $430 USD/Dash.
The funding shortfall is largely due to this factor.
Other, less impactful factors include:
If you have additional questions, please direct them to @Fernando in the original Forum post.
Requested funding is as follows for the June 3rd budget cycle:
Note 1: Should any funding remain, we will apply it toward future conference expenses.
Note 2: We will be submitting another conferences and travel proposal in either the July or August budget cycle to cover the cost of business development and conferences travel for Dash Core Group and certain conferences we are planning on hosting/sponsoring/attending in 2H 2018.

The funding shortfall is largely due to this factor.
Other, less impactful factors include:
- The cost of small conferences that were not known in advance and funding wasn’t requested for (e.g. Wall of Coins and Weed Club).
- A small amount of business development related travel expenses that were not budgeted for in advance. The travel costs of a few trips that were necessary to develop strategic partnerships were paid for from the Conferences and Travel budget.
- Certain cost estimates made at the time of the proposals were too low. This underestimation of costs related primarily to the cost of booths for the Money 2020 events and travel related to the Asian conferences (Money 2020 Asia, Token 2049).
If you have additional questions, please direct them to @Fernando in the original Forum post.
Requested funding is as follows for the June 3rd budget cycle:
- 309.35 Dash ($120,000 @$387.905 / Dash)
- 5.00 Dash proposal reimbursement
