Mission Statement and Governance Working Group Issues #4

Open legendface66 opened 1 year ago

legendface66 commented 1 year ago

This Issue is to capture and present information about the Governance Working Group mission statement and issues it should work on in advance of defining a scope.

The following is a survey that will be used to gather participant perspectives:

IC Governance WG: Issues & Mission Statement Survey

A Chinese language one would be helpful. Input gathered here will be presented at the next meeting.

Please reach out to @captainchaos on discord or @arthurfalls on twitter to discuss processing results and report writing in advance of next meeting.

Issues raised in the second Governance Working Group meeting were:

How do we prioritise roadmap items for DFINITY? How do we initiate new working groups? How do we coordinate with other groups? Can the NNS implement multiple choice questions? Should ICP Tokenomics be part of this group? Can we discuss NNS mechanisms here? Can we discuss what APIs are open access?

Brief meeting notes

legendface66 commented 1 year ago

I'm not going to be able to attend the next meeting and I don't have more time to give the GWG this week so I've summarised the available information and processed it into a candidate mission statement and list of work items for the group to consider. Given there was a focus on the working group scope I tried to produce a scope document but it wasn't possible in light of the diversity of responses. The mission statement could use defending but it is only intended as a place to start and mission statements always get changed.

The content of the mission statement & work items doc is based on summaries of primary resources for the purpose of brevity and relevance so some stuff was lost in the compression. Also, nothing posted on the Github and no survey submissions after today, or from the Chinese community were included.

For the next meeting I propose the following resolutions:

  1. All future meetings have an agenda and designated note-taking-person
  2. GWG participants break into groups based on work items and return at the next meeting with a scope and research plan for the work item they've chosen.
  3. One group gather feedback from the GWG on the candidate mission statement & work items, summarise the responses not included in the documents below, and produce a new candidate mission statement and list of work items.
