Governance Standard Boilerplate #1

Open j0xhn opened 7 years ago

j0xhn commented 7 years ago

This is more of a comment or discussion rather than an actual issue. I know there are some other projects that are working on governance and I was curious if you know of a type of "governance protocol" -- similar to how there is a ERC20 standard for tokens, I wonder if there is workings of a ERCXX standard for general governance.

I'm assuming because the governance needs to be on a core level your actual consensus network that you're use case might be too specific. Is that a correct assumption or do you think there could be a broad contract that lays the foundations for governance.

Two projects in particular come to mind, one being http://boardroom-alpha.surge.sh/ and the more obvious https://aragon.one/

Thoughts?

John, thank you for mentioning those two project. Our governance app is similar to Boardroom but more focused on managing a list of validators. Results of voting directly affect that list.

I'd like to make our Governance app a reference implementation of governance for PoA network based on Parity.
