What is the overall Commons Configuration strategy?
Taking Nate's Orogeny CV params and adding simple numbers and a little spice that give a good balance between funding the Economic arm and the Value Creation arm. The strategy is to have a design that will attract value aligned TEs, keeping the Reserve Ratio reasonable at 20% and having a high entry tribute to keep out speculators but attract value aligned participants that missed the Hatch. With this strategy, we should change the Tributes to tighten them up within 2 months of launch.
Considering the decent profit (50% / 93%) 1.5 year vesting seems fine. 6 months to get the economy going, 1 year after that to slowly vest... if someone had 10,000 tokens from the Hatch they would get about ~25 tokens a day.

Module 2: Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)
Strategy:
The Commons Tribute is set so that there is about ~680k in the Common Pool and with the initial buy ~720k. The Entry Tribute (15%) is extremely high.. but this is the only way to get tokens to start so I think it will not dissuade early contributors that are value aligned and I would say we make a plan to lower it and raise the Exit tribute after a few weeks as a strategy to open it up to Speculators.
The ABC mints and burns TEC tokens, the price of the TEC token is dependent on the funds that is held in the Reserve. This graph shows how the ABC's Price for TEC tokens changes with the ABC's Reserve Balance. The Initial Buy that will happen at launch is highlighted.

Module 3: Tao Voting
Strategy:
The Tao Voting parameters provide a voting system that requires a high amount of support (88%), and a moderate quorum (8%) of participation.... this is the same as our HatchDAO The Vote Duration (7 days) allows a sufficient amount of time for community engagement. Delegated Voting (4 days) will end slightly before the active voting period, allowing community members (3 days) an opportunity to alter the outcome of the vote. If the voting outcome is changed, there will be a quiet ending extension of (2 days) for final community engagement. The execution delay (12 hours) is sufficient time for the community to prepare for voting outcomes for those that really care about exiting after a vote is determined given the quiet ending extension.

Module 4: Conviction Voting
Strategy:
With the conviction voting module, I set the Spending Limit (20%) on the higher side ensuring that we can fund big proposals if we need to. The rest of the settings were inspired by Nate's Orogeny params with a low Minimum Conviction (1%) and high Conviction Growth (60 days) ensures that it takes a lot of tokens to pass proposals quickly but minority token holders with patience and persistence can still fund projects and that the community has an opportunity to move their tokens between proposals without impacting their conviction too quickly.

Minimum Percent of Voting Tokens Needed to Pass Funding Requests
This shows how the minimum percent of tokens needed to pass proposals after 2 weeks varies with the percent of the Common Pool funds being requested.
Token Freeze: 26 weeks, meaning that 100% of TEC tokens minted for Hatchers will remain locked from being sold or transferred for 26 weeks. They can still be used to vote while frozen.
Token Thaw: 52 weeks, meaning the Hatchers frozen tokens will start to become transferable at a steady rate starting at the end of Token Freeze and ending 52 weeks later.
Opening Price: 1.51 wxDAI, meaning for the initial buy, the first TEC minted by the Augmented Bonding Curve will be priced at 1.51 wxDAI making it the price floor during the Token Freeze.
Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC)
Commons Tribute: 50.00%, which means that 50.00% of the Hatch funds (630611.79 wxDAI) will go to the Common Pool and 50.00% (630611.79 wxDAI) will go to the ABC's Reserve.
Entry Tribute: 15.00% meaning that from every BUY order on the ABC, 15.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
Exit Tribute: 1.00% meaning that from every SELL order on the ABC, 1.00% of the order value in wxDAI is subtracted and sent to the Common Pool.
Tao Voting
Support Required: 88%, which means 88% of all votes must be in favor of a proposal for it to pass.
Minimum Quorum: 8%, meaning that 8% of all tokens need to have voted on a proposal in order for it to become valid.
Vote Duration: 7 day(s), meaning that eligible voters will have 7 day(s) to vote on a proposal.
Delegated Voting Period is set for 4 day(s), meaning that Delegates will have 4 day(s) to use their delegated voting power to vote on a proposal.
Quiet Ending Period: 2 day(s), this means that 2 day(s) before the end of the Vote Duration, if the vote outcome changes, the Quiet Ending Extension will be triggered.
Quiet Ending Extension: 2 day(s), meaning that if the vote outcome changes during the Quiet Ending Period, an additional 2 day(s) will be added for voting.
Execution Delay: 0.5 day(s), meaning that there is an 0.5 day delay after the vote is passed before the proposed action is executed.
Conviction Voting
Conviction Growth: 60 day(s), meaning that voting power will increase by 50% every 60 days that they are staked behind a proposal, so after 14 days, a voters voting power will have reached 75% of it's maximum capacity.
Minimum Conviction: 1.0%, this means that to pass any funding request it will take at least 1.0% of the actively voting TEC tokens.
The Spending Limit: 15.0%, which means that no more than 15.0% of the total funds in the Common Pool can be funded by a single proposal.
