• DAO Planner workshop updates: Finalize attributes. What’s next for the teams? @Matty https://www.figma.com/file/7nRRZitRpil81ifenvrAXL/core-dev-wg?node-id=0%3A1

Follow Ups from Last Week:

• [x] Finalize attributes on DAO Planner - Shelby & Matty & Ange can we have you completing this section?
• [x] Dog & Ange will chat about FC challenges & Dog will share learnings with the team
• [x] Rest of the DAO Planner Workshops need to be booked - Abbey
• [ ] Folks can take a look at the various links (Contributor Mapping, Gov Decision Mapping / Gov Changes Brainstorm) and add thoughts. After the DAO Planner workshops are completed with CTs, we can have a separate call to go through these.

Notes

• Timelines

  • DAO Planner Workshops: we have Growth today and then waiting confirmation on Clients for Monday.
  • In reviewing the timelines, Matty suggested these next steps based on current timeline: https://www.figma.com/file/m6yna3dZXpl1HeClpNZ7AW/Radicle-Contributor-Mapping?node-id=0%3A1

  

  • Contributors can be in multiple roles. We should add responsibilities.
  • These “Roles” will help define NFTs for Otterspace. Admin needs to be defined as person distributing NFTs on both Org Level and DAO level.
  • Matty will work on designing an open design exercise
    • One File with 5 boards (One per team and then one that is around Org at large)
    • Designed as async participation. Teams can organize a time to go through it together or individually.
    • Will be timeboxed (Nov 4th) for people to contribute.
    • Louie will ping people who responded directly onto the poll to contribute.
  • Shelby voiced more time would be good since we aren’t certain how much teams are participating
  • Deadline for Nov 15 might be pushed to one extra week after we see participation on open exercise
  • Consider the offsite: Will we have another transition/ org-design focus on v1.5?

• Purpose Discussion

  • Higher level Vision / Purpose Docs being wrapped up in these:
    • Original Miro Board by Thom where he collected through open process. Since Thom left, it’s being picked up by Radicle Messaging: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVOrQRxAY=/
    • Being picked up via Radicle Messaging: https://duckweed-growth.notion.site/Radicle-Messaging-Kit-a7af969156024a6cbb8334f3014b695e
    • Most updated Principles: https://radicle.community/t/org-design-funding-core-teams-principles-criteria-part-1/2994#technical-principles-3
    • Onboarding Processes/Docs like these are helpful to align new contributors coming into Radicle. Shelby is working on one for Governance: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVPQBWs1E=/
  • We should help teams align on ideological sense of purpose & decentralization to help lubricate the operational processes.
  • Other Observations
    • Purpose in a more ideological sense (Louie’s interpretation):
      • “We’re lacking cohesive/clear vision and/or strategy” > What’s driving Radicle at large?
      • “Why can’t we keep as is?” > What’s the purpose of the Transition to the DAO.
        • We’ve lost momentum on the narrative: Radicle was always meant to decentralize
        • Issues aligning around ideological reasons to decentralize. This brings up two places of tension: 1. Collaboration/Cooperative work amongst CTs 2. Operationally structuring in a decentralized manner
        • It’s little understood that there's a small group (FC) taking on risk for the many
        • Should clarify short & long term benefits of going through decentralization
      • “Extra” effort around structural/operational > What’s the purpose of Core Dev Org / a new structure. Why this specific organizational design?
        • A lot of operational aspects are currently abstracted. Teams not understanding how they will get paid, etc.
