I've updated the description of this role to include a link to the new compensation maintainer role documentation at https://bisq.wiki/Compensation#Compensation_Maintainer, which @MwithM has been putting together in bisq-network/admin#32.

This cycle had more to do because of changes described on earlier post. I helped to write compensation wiki and it took a little effort to understand the new process, but the overall view is very positive.
All compensation requests were accepted, and the new compensation board has been managed without remarkable issues.
New rates and expected delivery times for new requests have been announced on the board, and I still have to send a message to all contributors announcing when should they submit their proposals.

Cycle 11 report

All compensation requests were accepted except one previously withdrawn. In general, the process has been followed without remarkable issues, from mine or contributor's end.

There might be a change in the way BSQ price is calculated already in cycle 12, using volume weighted average price. Discussion is encouraged and if the change is finally made, I'll try to keep every contributor informed.

Edit: I added 20USD to the price of my compensation request of 100USD because due to mempool congestion, I spent about 15USD in mining fees to send 4 DAO trading fee change parameter proposals.

[MwithM]

Cycle 12 report

The 90 day USD volume weighted average have been used for compensation request USD/BSQ rate, and it will be for next cycles. At this moment, there's no proposal to use the 30 day average instead of the 90 day, and I'm not going to create it because I don't have strong arguments in favor of that change.

3 contributors did not submit their compensation request on time, they submitted it after the proposal phase expired.
3 compensation requests have been rejected, all related to translation.
The rest of the 23 compensation requests have been accepted.

There was no need to update the BSQ discount.

@MwithM, per #102 (comment), please assign all support team compensation requests to @leo816 instead of myself, effective immediately in the current cycle (Cycle 14). Thanks!

[MwithM]

Cycle 13 report

21 compensation requests were accepted, 3 rejected and 1 was not submitted (postponed).
BSQ trading fee discount was updated and USD/BSQ rate was calculated using the 90 day USD volume weighted average.

@MwithM, per https://bisq.wiki/Compensation#Announce_request_submission_deadline, a message should be posted to the @bisq-network/dao team with the submission deadline for every cycle. You did this for Cycle 13 here, but I didn't see one for Cycle 14. I imagine this was just an oversight, but it's worth pointing out, because if the only notice that gets posted is the issue here in the compensation repository (which you did create), contributors won't get notified about it unless they've put a watch on the compensation repository. By posting the message to the dao team, every active contributor should get notified. If this is feeling like too much of a hassle to post it in both locations, we could change the duty to state that the compensation maintainter must @mention the @bisq-network/dao team in the compensation repository issue; this would also trigger all dao team members to get notified. Again, I assume this was just an oversight though. Thanks.

[MwithM]

I somehow thought that the parsable compensation request template announcement would help contributors to know the deadline, but anyway the my announcement should be made earlier. I'll just keep making the announcement at the beginning of a new cycle, I didn't do it because i expected miners to advance or delay it significantly.

I've been indicating the deadline to WIP requests individually, but not publishing the deadline is a mistake and I hope noone is injured by it.

Cycle 14 report

27 compensation requests were submitted. 2 of them rejected and 1 not submitted (deprecated).
Deadline for Cycle 15 has been announced at the compensation board and dao discussions. This will be the first Cycle that the parsable format will be mandatory. On cycle 14 it worked fine and it will help to have better info of the work done at the DAO and how resources are used.
