It depends on how we define the last funding period and everything around it, is it “proven track-record”? I tried to avoid personal pointing in my reply above because of his contribution over the years but If you want to go into details about the last period, **the facts is** : The last funding request was for a 4 months period from **January to April 2023**. Now, one and a half months later, **none of the funded tasks have been completed and our only way to get updates is by following his Github activity or asking you as a CC member** , as I did few times. Over the past few months **any attempt by any community member or our GK** (@ardocrat, @Trinitron, @phraudsta, @leriseh291) to ask for updates about the funded tasks has been met with angry or insulting replies: > [@CC Fund: expenses, responsibilities, spending guidelines and follow-up processes](https://forum.grin.mw/t/cc-fund-expenses-responsibilities-spending-guidelines-and-follow-up-processes/10522/42): > > My guy! I’m not dating you! I’m not gay, do you, but I’m not dating you. > [@CC Fund: expenses, responsibilities, spending guidelines and follow-up processes](https://forum.grin.mw/t/cc-fund-expenses-responsibilities-spending-guidelines-and-follow-up-processes/10522/38): > > Thanks for the clarification. My advice: get a life, you need one, and remember that envy corrodes the soul. > [@CC Fund: expenses, responsibilities, spending guidelines and follow-up processes](https://forum.grin.mw/t/cc-fund-expenses-responsibilities-spending-guidelines-and-follow-up-processes/10522/36): > > Is this a topic about me now? again?! what is the obsession with me? seriously, get a life, guys. > [@Request for funding @davidtavarez January-April 2023](https://forum.grin.mw/t/request-for-funding-davidtavarez-january-april-2023/10205/6): > > I will not engage with this account created 5 minutes after writing thing …Stop wasting my time. Get a life, get some help. Another issue was the progress tracking for the funded tasks: > [@CC Fund: expenses, responsibilities, spending guidelines and follow-up processes](https://forum.grin.mw/t/cc-fund-expenses-responsibilities-spending-guidelines-and-follow-up-processes/10522/1): > > I brought the follow-up progress issue to the [CC meeting (2023-4-25)](https://github.com/cekickafa/agenda/blob/main/notes/2023-04-25-community-meeting-notes.md), the original idea was to follow-up the GK tasks, but in the end **I suggested adding to the GK duties follow-up for each funded task**. > > @davidtavarez and @Anynomous **as CC members supported it** , and @Cobragrin created the [progress tracking file](https://github.com/cekickafa/docs-1/blob/main/funded_requests_progress.md#dtavarez---grin-development-jan-apr-2023) as agreed but when he asked @davidtavarez one week later (2023-5-2) to update the status of his ongoing funded tasks he resisted: > > > [@@davidtavarez contributions summary & logs](https://forum.grin.mw/t/davidtavarez-contributions-summary-logs/10474/5): > > > > No, and I never agreed on participating on any “Progress Tracking Scheme”… Now just to make it clear, **the previous tasks are in progress and not abandoned** but the status is still unclear because of lack of communication, ego games and drama all around. With all due respect to his previous contribution I don’t want to go through this again and again, the funding model I suggested above (not my invention, it exists and works everywhere else) prevent us from getting into situations like this without making it personal for specific dev or definition of “proven track-record” and reputation. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.grin.mw/t/funding-proposal-1-parallel-initial-block-download/10584)._
