When is the right time to discuss / poll / vote on compensation for Andre (and team?) for all the work they have done, are doing, and will do in the future?

I believe everyone assumed it would be handled with the inflation model that would take us to 50k tokens. Since that was shot down, I have not read anyone touch on this point.

Instead of minting additional YFI, I instead propose to use these funds for expenses such as audits, deployment costs, other?

Funds can be replenished by additional vote or burnt if it turns out there were more than enough funds. Abstract: A small fund should be set aside to pay for ongoing expenses such as security audits, UI/UX improvements, and research delivered by firms such as Delphi.
