Note Taker:

Key Takeaways:

• Two needs of skillsets. They don’t have explicit power, but more consultants or advisors
  1. Goal Setting / making
  2. Defining potential blockers or problems of reaching Core Team’s goals (like legal risks, technical problems, etc)
• Optimistic Reviews
  • Assumed renewal, people can challenge
  • Thought experiments: randomized challengers, vetoing, terms,
• Offboarding can’t be optimistic.
  • A communal process

Questions & Discussion Points:

General Notes:

• If team A does a great job presenting strategy and their work, other teams can be inspired to use the structure
• Evaluating progress:
• How does a core team get formed?
• Goal Setting: pillar where group of people to propose core team to (aligns with mission) also look at performance defined by CT’s goals / performance / strategy that they said they were going to achieve
  • Some people might not be good at setting goals which drives poor incentive structure so they need help
  • Skillset: this body needs to be capable for setting goals
  • proposal from CTs needs to include goals
• Defining problems or blockers: One group of people that has no decision making power but help define problems or blockers
  • help define legal risks
  • looking at Radicle holistically
  • could this be a core team? or service to the Core Teams
  • They’re just consultants but they can work with CTs
  • They have influence
  • If x this doesn’t happen, then y happens. So we need to do xyz.
  • Framework for making statements
  • There might be consolidating power (if they’re really good) or people don’t have to follow them
  • Like an “Advice process” (REF to org design)
• what’s the incentive to cooperate?
  • They don’t have to
• “Epic” - is like mission, “Issues” - tasks,
• informal, off-chain proposal
• Explicit powers: how does onboarding/offboarding
  • Grants as “offboarded” in September when funds and will have to be “onboarded” again. Bordum doesn’t want to be “King of grants” and give opportunities for others to challenge or propose
  • Using NFTs: 1 person 1 vote
  • “Optimistic” not too many bureaucratic processes
  • Vetoing
  • Are there terms?
  • Retrospective reviews
  • If no one challenges that then it’s optimistic goes on - might need a consultant group to facilitate but making sure people don’t default to waiting for someone else to review
    • Wild idea: randomized selected for challenges : anyone can be chosen at any point
    • For highly technical they would delegate (you can use advise process)
    • after awhile you can see who the expert is based on the work they’ve been doing (like seeing commits on Radicle)
  • Optimistic system for onboarding, but not optimistic for offboarding (communal approach)
    • problem with offboarding - people don’t want to change other people’s life so they try to make it work
    • Bringing in an external facilitator
    • Offboarding a Core Team Level
      • Team member is up to Core Team
