2022_03_3 IMN Meeting

Agenda:
  1. Action items from the previous week
    1. Proposal feedback
    2. Ornella:
      1. KPI update: If we want to measure KPIs in IRL (Community KPIs), we need to do it digital way
      2. Offline meetings KPIs proposed by Ornella: Numbers of members; How to become a member (criteria); Social media reach-outs.
      3. We need to identify our audience, know who each person is.
      4. We can have 3 groups: 1. IMN working group; 2. Community members — just want to be there, be in the community; 3. General audience — People affected via our social media.
      5. Show these stats for future funding purpose — show the growth of the community. We have myriads of information when building a community, we need to choose some stats and prepare a say, weekly report ( This is something longterm )
      6. rn we have 1% who create content, the 9% are those who will directly respond to the content, and the remainder will just consume the content. And the point here is that we need to develop that 90% of the people who will consume the content. (Pay attention on our monthly retention rate)
      7. Map out all the nodes who has their own server, we need to consolidate information and stats together.
    3. Ornella & Ana: We need to have other outlets bring users back to our discord server
      1. Get to know where do all the people come from, what they will do here, how long will they stay here (retention rate)
    4. gioser: not all the members here have the consensus on what IMN is doing and where should we move forward in the future.
    5. JohnChan: Most members in CN node are having difficulty using Discord in China due to the GFW. Other outlets such as WeChat is useful.
    6. paul: Setting up a node’s own Discord server is way more complicated than managing the community.
      1. Ornella: First we need to think about growing our community, then it’s time to worry about managing self-owned server.
      2. gioser: there’s no need to “force” every node to grow their own “community” — taking Greek Node for example
      3. Ornella: it’s totally an option for every node to think about how to manage their own community.
      4. Jengajojo: Growing node into a community enables the community to have more cooperation opportunities — HQ has many tasks that can be distributed into this community.
    7. Ornella: Will keep on building this investigation / research.
    8. JohnChan: CN node has discussed about setting up self-owned Discord server, and there are many templates that we can onboard people and community growing.
  1. Grants
    1. gioser: Will keep updating on the Gitcoin Grant.
    2. OxBaer: mentioned an ongoing grant of which we can participate, many nodes (such as French, CN) can also participate in as well.
    3. Jengajojo: Contact GPe if have any issue on the translation fees.
    4. Ardor: Will have an proposal next week
  1. NFTs
    1. paul: The polygon is quite slow recently, and transactions are put off due to this.
    2. GPe: Can help mint
  1. Role updates
    1. Marketing - Ana: Arranging an event to encourage more Female to be involved in the bDAO activities, due to the imminent Women’s Day.
      1. Will also have a POAP release for the event
      2. JohnChan can help arranging the POAP
      3. Need other nodes’ participation to help the event!
    2. Grant - gioser: We are in the Gitcoin Grant, maybe we need to have a marketing campaign to help boosting the grant.
    3. Lalocripto: Discussing the use of Harmony (layer 1)
      1. paul: Question is how many nodes are running to validate
      2. gioser: What do we need to do to promote this? Writing an article or something else?
      3. paul: A discussion is useful, since this action represents the bDAO as a whole
      4. Lalo: agrees with paul. Need to hear out what others think before we push this forward.
      5. Jengajojo: had DiscoDancin and Nicklas to translate for the foundation.
    4. KPIs: VallentinaC: Made the KPIs file yesterday
  1. Nodes Payments - Monthly Data
    1. paul: Finished double checking on the data → (9+) Season 3 Database (notion.so). Some nodes did not post anything from the HQ nor from the BanklessDAO
    2. There was a debate over the payment, but due to the voice was not very clear, could not catch that.
    3. gioser: if we set the newsletter length strictly to some level, it’s no point in that, since an average HQ or bDAO newsletter is about 2000 words.
    4. Nicklas: What we are publishing is about onboarding people, since we need people to consume these material, and we need to onboard people first.
    5. gioser: Disagree with Nicklas.
    6. DiscoDancin: Maybe we can have a check before the deadline, and tell each node whether they have met the KPIs for that month.
    7. GPe: maybe we need to specify the length of each newsletter.
    8. Jengajojo: Have all the nodes’ champions to express their thoughts on this matter. Have the KPIs to be more specific in the next season.
  1. Coordinape
