+Hello! Dr. Sarang Noether here, ready to continue full-time research, development, and analysis in privacy-focused cryptography and applications. You can read my previous monthly reports for [January](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/110#note_8753) and [February](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/110#note_9123) to see what I've been up to recently. A report for March is forthcoming at the end of this month.
+
+This funding request covers the period from April through June 2020. There's plenty to do.
+- CLSAG testing and deployment. The [CLSAG](https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/654) signature construction has undergone major work on its security model, development, and testing to make it faster and safer. It's expected to undergo final external review and deployment.
+- Triptych research and testing. The [Triptych](https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/018) proving system has been revised and released as a preprint. Research continues on a more efficient version that looks promising.
+- Protocol updates. Research is ongoing to determine safe and efficient ways to improve transaction privacy, fungibility, and functionality through things like improved multisignature support and cross-chain interactions.
+
+And of course, there is always research and development that arises as we go. Expect code review, the usual updates and changes, outreach, literature review, proof-of-concept code and testing, documentation, and more.
+
+I work hard to provide value in my research for the value provided here. As before, this request is for the equivalent of 10415 USD monthly, my assessment of fair market compensation for an independent Ph.D. researcher in the United States. Therefore, using a 7-day EMA of 48.80 USD/XMR from Kraken with a 10% buffer to account for recent major volatility, the request total is **704 XMR**. Further, note that this request will be paid in full as soon as it is funded, in order to reduce the effects of price fluctuations and ensure that contributed value is the value that reaches me.
+
+Questions, comments, and feedback about this request are welcome.

+Hello! Dr. Sarang Noether here, ready to continue full-time research, development, and analysis in privacy-focused cryptography and applications. You can read my previous monthly reports for [April](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/131#note_9896) and [May](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/131#note_9975) to see what I've been up to recently. A report for June is forthcoming at the end of the quarter.
+
+This funding request covers the period from July through September 2020. There's plenty to do, with a few big-ticket items in particular:
+- CLSAG audit. The [CLSAG](https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/654) audit planning process (which has been quite the endeavor) is being finalized, and I will coordinate the technical efforts for this process.
+- Arcturus applications. The [Arcturus](https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/312) proving system leads naturally to an efficient transaction protocol. Math and implementation involving multisignatures, cooperative signing, and anonymity set selection are ongoing.
+- Protocol improvements. As always, research and development are ongoing to determine safe and efficient ways to improve transaction privacy, fungibility, and functionality while mitigating different types of adversarial heuristics.
+
+And of course, there is always research and development that arises as we go. Expect code review, the usual updates and changes, outreach, literature review, proof-of-concept code and testing, documentation, and more.
+
+I work hard to provide value in my research for the value provided here. As before, this request is for the equivalent of 10415 USD monthly, my assessment of fair market compensation for an independent Ph.D. researcher in the United States. Therefore, using an SMA-20 of 66.37 USD/XMR from Kraken with a 10% volatility buffer, the request total is **518 XMR**. To reduce the effects of price fluctuation, the XMR equivalent of the USD total for this request will be used to determine the amount for full payment when the request is filled. Any shortfall or excess at that time will be taken up by the general fund, as agreed to by the Monero core team.
+
+Questions, comments, and feedback about this request are welcome.

+
+To the Monero Community,
+
+As many of you know, MRL's full time researcher, Sarang Noether stepped down from his position this past month. After looking back across the history of the project, we are humbled to realize he has been working on the Monero Project on and off, full time and part time, for over six years, three of which were in a full time position, paid for by the CCS. His initial proposal can still be viewed on the old Forum Funding System here: https://forum.getmonero.org/22/completed-tasks/87856/hire-mathematician-and-computational-physicist-to-join-research-team
+
+Because of the contractual nature of the CCS, the written proposals, and indeed, freelance work in general, many benefits offered by traditional jobs do not exist within the ecosystem. Benefits such as vacation days and paid time off. 
+
+While we do not expect to make a habit of this, we feel the length of time worked, the quality of work given, and the person themself are all worthy of breaking out of the traditional CCS mold to raise money for sarang to take some 'paid time off'. We understand that he has already made the decision to step back down, and this proposal is not trying to bring him back into the fold (although we would of course be thrilled if one day he returned), but rather to give what we feel is due for six years of labor.
+
+We ask the community to crowdfund 200 XMR that we can give him, so his initial days after his departure can be restful and he would not have to worry about making money to live.
+
+This proposal will remain open in funding required for one month or until the goal is met. Whichever comes first. After either condition is met, the funds will be given to sarang, including any overfunding.
+
+We hope the community will join us in doing good for someone who has done so much good for us.

+### Proposal closed
+
+The remaining funds (36XMR) have been absorbed by https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/VOSTOEMISIO-Continuation-of-Core-Monero-Concepts-A-Series-of-Animated-Explainers.html
+
+Hello guys,
+
+It's savandra, who created animated explainer videos,
+
+here's a link to our channel.
+
+I contacted u/dsmlegend, https://www.reddit.com/u/dsmlegend/ and he developed an awesome draft of probably anything should be covered on the topic (though it's a bit business-focused).
+
+Here's a link to the document https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnjUpT9gGxyQ_lud7uKoTCg
+
+I'd like to add, that since then, we improved on the animations a lot and we hope Monero will benefit from it!
+
+
+Our proposal is to be billed per minute of the animation, which covers:
+
+script development ( with implementing all the feedback from the community)
+
+illustrations development
+
+animations
+
+voice-over
+
+sound effects
+
+Considering the above, I think $400 per minute of the animation should work out nicely.
+Also, it's been a while since the last video, so let me know if there are any updates on how the pitch should be handled.
+
+It is expected to complete one video a month
+An expiration date for the proposal: June, 7
