# Gitcoin<>RaidGuild Nov 11 Overview
* We would like 1 more week to refine the scope of the proposal, timeline, and budget 🙏🏽 **Final proposal can be presented November 18th**
* Timeline & budget scope can only be solidified once we have the artist onboard. Will this be Josh Blaylock? If not, Matt Brinkman? If not, **we will create a shortlist of artists this week.**
* Can **Kyle be the interface between RG and GMCG** (GitcoinDAO Metaverse Coordinators Group)?
* Can we get **funds into escrow by Nov 22nd?** (Depending on final proposal)
