Notes

• HUGE thanks to Jake and Stake and hirokennelley.eth for compiling new version of doc

• Would like to start testing governance framework next week based on result of this call
Lazy consensus for multi-sig owners and nomination process for Talent Scout

• Document Dive In
1. Membership consists of 3 tiers - Pupil, Scribbler, & Scribe
• Pupil is more of a lurker. Doesn't contribute and cannot participate in governance or volunteer for paid activities
• Scribbler are looking to contribute but have not demonstrated contributions yet. To achieve Scribbler tier
Pass the writing or editing test - signals that you are interested in contributing
Once test(s) is passed, to Scribbler must contribute to 3 tasks for WG to showcase and demonstrate dedication to contributing
Writing or editing for Newsletter or EPA
status changes to Scribe as tasks are completed
Statuses will be updated on a monthly basis using POAP verified roles mechanism discussed on call (See below for more info)
• Scribe are active contributors and are eligible for member perks such as:
Governance roles, multi-sig owner, can participate in governance
Must continue to contribute by completing 3 tasks for WG to maintain Scribe status
hiro asked if this will be applied to role holders as well?
Ap0ll0 explained he expected role holders to adhere to same standard. Current role holders are already meeting that criteria
nonsense and Samanthaj agreed that managing 3 tasks is leading by example and it shouldn't be hard. If too difficult, maybe role holder should offload some work.
Scribe status can be lost at end of Season if quota of 3 tasks haven't been met, but can reacquired within a month once 3 tasks have been completed as Scribbler
hiro asked if administrative tasks will count as 3 tasks
as it stands right now, no administrative tasks count.
A discussion will continue about how to address bounties with admin work.
• A question brought up was how is this to be recorded and how will tags will be assigned or unassigned?
Sam proposed Scribbler adds their first 3 bounties to achieve Scribe status
Ap0ll0 can verify Scribe status at end of season. He believes Gov Coordinator will assign or unassign tags
nonsense answered we can use POAPs to verify roles. Distribute the POAPs on a monthly basis and then the tags will be assigned based on POAPs
Ap0ll0 offered that we can whitlelist addresses to receive POAPs and determine statuses at remuneration time
It's not much work and is already currently being collected. Ap0ll0 would just have to make a list to give to Gov Coordinator
Gov Coordinator will be responsible for creating POAP and adding addresses from list Ap0ll0 provides
 
2. Elections on cycle and off cycle
• All roles and multi sigs owners will remain in place with lazy consensus
A poll will go up if Scribes are ok with leaving role holders and if there is at least 1 objection, election process will start
• 1 week nomination period and 1 week election period will follow 1 objection from lazy consensus
Scribes can not nominate themselves. They must be nominated by another scribe
Nominees may accept or deny the nomination. If they accept, they must provide the following:
1. Contributions to the Guild and DAO
2. Qualifications for the position
3. Why they want to be elected
4. Additional sponsors (prefered, but not required)
When nominated, the Governance Coordinator will reach out to nominees and inform them of the process as a part of their responsibilities
• 1 week election process will follow
Anonymized using poll master using rank choice voting
Even if there is only 1 nomination for a role, there will still be an election
It's important to ratify that role through governance

Action Items

Ap0ll0 will get list together of current members that meet Scribe and Scribbler status based on previous remunerations

Additional discussion points from today's meeting need to be added to governance framework

We didn't get a chance to address off cycle elections and roles. We should complete this task async. Doc is 60%, let's work to get it 100% and reconvene next week.
