Agenda

Writers Guild Governance Framework

• Polls
  • Ranked choice voting
    • Ranked choice
      • If first choice is eliminated then your second vote becomes the first
    • sesh does not have ranked choice or anonymous voting
      • DAO has bad UX bot that we can use if necessary
    • We are going to implement ranked choice
• Office of Guild Coordination
  • Outline elected roles and responsibilities
    • Guild Coordinator
    • Talent Scout
    • Secretary
    • Governance Coordinator
      • To be added
  • Flows for adding more roles?
  • The Election and Removal of Members to and from Office
    • Use the same flow as the multisig elections
    • Quorom?
      • Hold off on this until end of Season 2
        • Set quorom/threshold for scribes
    • Time period for dispute + election
  • What does campaigning look like?
    • Reapply during open submission period
    • Mandatory candidate statement
  • Apprentice roles for elected roles?
    • Good idea!
    • Should some of these positions be a board, rather than a single person?
    • Add new person to office each season
      • Add the apprentice role for all governance roles
  • How do0 we keep some of the work decentralized as we grow?
    • Very important question
    • How do we compensate for these sort of decentralized tasks?
      • Salary for scribe, but salary depends on reviewing tests
        • UBI for scribes
          • This brings up the necessity of detailing the duties of scribes
      • Does the apprentice then be the record keeper?
  • What if the roles become too big for one person?
  • All role holders in the guild: please write down all of your responsibilities
    • End of season, have governance meeting to see if it makes sense to expand the roles or have apprentices for the guild offices
• Newsletter governance
• Mirror vs medium
• Bounties
• Blue sky: Moving governance on chain
  • subDAO
    • Orca Protocol may be the way to go

Notes

Review:

• Membership tiers
  • Three tiers of WG members
    • Pupil
      • Lurker, checking it all out
      • Join calls, see what's happening in guild
      • Restrictions on participating in governance or raising their hands for jobs
        • How to become an apprentice?
    • Apprentice
      • Seems willing to work, but have not sufficiently shipped to establish a rep in the guild
      • To become a scribe:
        • Finish editing or writing test (or submit sufficient example)
          • Bare minimum
        • Complete three writing or editing assignments
          • In one season
    • Scribe
      • Eligible for governance roles or multisig and participate in client services
      • Need to participate in three assignments within span of season
  • Elections
    • For multisig
      • On-cycle election: have a poll at end of season to see if we want to roll the same multisigs over to next season
        • 100% to move forward
        • No vote triggers election process
          • Four days for applications
          • Three day voting period
        • Governance coordinator can relay private no votes
      • Off-cycle election: voluntary or involuntary removal mid season
        • Voluntary:
          • Same election process
          • Give one week buffer before vote
        • Involuntary
          • If member (scribe?) thinks a multisig is not acting in best interests of guild, ombuds office gets brought in. governance coordinator is liason
          • Affected parties mediate with ombuds
          • Ombuds finding goes to guild and triggers election process, if appropriate
      • A multisig candidate must be nominated by a third party
      • Election would be for that one multisig position only
