Thanks so much, @Miana for the update. Does the EGC have any specific milestones (or stages to) that the WG is trying to reach that you can include in your next update? ---
**Author:** ![Miana](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/m/ecc23a/32.png) [@Miana](https://forum.scroll.io/u/Miana)\ **Post date:** [August 15, 2025, 1:58pm UTC](https://forum.scroll.io/t/ecosystem-growth-council-weekly-update-thread/1010/4 "2025-08-15T13:58:10Z")
Hey @coffee-crusher ! Thank you so much for this question and the follow-up on this week’s governance call. Apologies again for the delay in response. I will post an answer in the thread as well, to make sure that people who could not attend the governance call and are interested in the topic are able to follow the conversation. The original [EGC proposal](https://forum.scroll.io/t/proposal-ecosystem-growth-council-formation/718/27) did not mention a specific timeline, but it highlighted a set of responsibilities, which are: - “Reviewing and responding to RFI responses - Approving growth proposals, ensuring there is the appropriate alignment and oversight in place - Reporting on the results of the council’s activities - Sourcing potential external collaborations - Familiarizing themselves with relevant research topics concerning growth - Attending regular meetings (at least 2 team check-ins per month)” The initial proposal also shared a tentative timeline. It looked like this: ” **Month 0:** voting cycle, approval, recruiting process (assuming this is June 2025) **Month 1** : council officially commences, reviews RFIs, and reviews research **Month 2:** scope additional RFIs/RFPs, review, provide feedback, refine **Month 3:** begin making decisions about which growth programs to support (specific projects that can be considered on an ad hoc basis), initial reporting, continue sourcing new ideas as appropriate **Months 4-5** : depending on the volume and quality of ideas/proposals, the EGC could continue the review and approval process, and/or shift to working with the awarded initiative to maximize success. Additionally, a draft of the charter should make it to the forum during this time so that it can be included in the voting cycle taking place during month 6 to avoid disruption (assuming that reflects the interest of the DAO). **Month 6:** Final report, extension, or renewal including charter.” When the EGC met for the first time in August, we realised that we needed to conduct the necessary research, align on growth priorities with Scroll’s Up Labs, define the relevant evaluation metrics, and define the scope of the council through a charter before we could properly review the existing RFIs. Due to that, we had to push the initial timeline by a month. Here is an updated version of the first 2 months of the timeline: **Month 1** : Council officially commences, drafts [EGC Charter](https://forum.scroll.io/t/ecosystem-growth-council-charter/1027), and shares it with the DAO for feedback, reviews research, drafts and discusses growth strategic priorities and evaluation metrics, drafts proposal pipeline and SOP, drafts tentative RFPs, and aligns with Up Labs on growth. **Month 2:** Finalise the final proposal procedures and share it with the DAO, review RFIs. Generally, we are aiming at sticking with the tentative timeline; however, as we progress on setting the foundation for the EGC, and we identify gaps in structure that were not previously foreseen, we might stray from the original tentative timeline at times, and we will communicate those, as well as any other additional actions the EGC will take. Following this feedback, I will aim to increase the context given in the updates as well as details on the alignment with the tentative timeline. Please feel free to let us know if you have any follow-up comments or questions. Thank you again for your support, Miana - on behalf of the EGC ---

Due to a delay in evaluating metrics and aligning the growth strategy, we will have to postpone the evaluation to the second month of the mandate. We have individually reviewed each proposal and discussed it. For the sake of fairness and consistency in the evaluation process, **we will evaluate** **them publicly through a** **well-defined and publicly accessible proposal pipeline**. We would like to publicly thank the creators of RFIs for their patience. **Action request from the community:** - Please review and give feedback on the **[EGC Charter](https://forum.scroll.io/t/ecosystem-growth-council-charter/1027)**. As a DAO document, it requires the community’s feedback and endorsement to be included in the upcoming voting cycles. Please let us know if you have any questions or remarks. Thank you, The EGC ---

> [@coffee-crusher](#): > > the WG Realize it’s a semantic difference, but can’t help but stress it here - EGC is a council and not a working group! Just want to call that out in the sense that working groups, like the GCR one are meant to be much more narrow in terms of their outputs. For example, the GCR working group is meant to produce a GCR proposal that gets passed and then it won’t exist anymore Whereas, the EGC is meant to be a council that, assuming they fulfill the kind of milestones that @Miana has written out, is meant to be a more permanent structure within the DAO that gets it’s mandate and budget approved via DAO votes. ---

Hello Scroll DAO, Due to an overlap in topics, we decided to merge the updates from the past two weeks. Two weeks ago, we met with RnDAO and Raza, Scroll’s Head of Growth.

Thank you so much, @Miana for the update, and great details with timelines for the upcoming deliverables. For the DAO Growth Strategic Direction, are you looking for community feedback on that doc once it’s published later this week? And, @connormcmk , can we cover the EGC Charter for our upcoming Scroll Delegate Proposal Bonanza call this week, as the EGC team wants to include this proposal in the October voting cycle, and currently no delegate has commented on their proposal? > [@Miana](#): > > **Action request for the community:** > > - Please review and give feedback on the **[EGC Charter](https://forum.scroll.io/t/ecosystem-growth-council-charter/1027)**.

Thank you for the comment @coffee-crusher ! The strategic direction won’t be up for voting because it is not designed as a document set in stone, but rather to show the direction and the reasoning behind it. Which means that feedback from the community is more than welcome and will be addressed appropriately. We spent the last weeks discussing with the Labs and RnDAO, given their research, and we would love to hear the voice of the community so we can adapt and grow our strategy. About the Charter, which is supposed to be a document set in stone, having it included in the Proposal Bonanza would be very much appreciated. Thank you, Miana - on behalf of the EGC ---
