Call summary
Topics:
- RPGF 3 announcement
- Is you want to host next one link Gonna.eth will be default host if not
- RPFG3 Categories (4) and why.
- RPGF3 scope
Badgeholders feedback
- Round 2 feedback
- A way to verify factual accuracy of project profiles
- More opportunity to assess projects (1-2 weeks not enough for 200 projects)
- Sorting and pre-work that can be done on applications (by core or community)
- Making it possible for people to vote on the projects that they know and have it still be ok that not everyone looks at all projects
- Process should be other way around:
- Voting system/impact assessment is continuous (so can assess impact when experiencing the impact and not after the fact) but then tokens distributed on regular/set basis
- If had more badgeholders than projects, that would reduce these issues, which is why expansion of Citizen set is important
- Would like to see more experimentation on voting UX
- Not clear as to how to assess impact
- Not clear as to how to compare projects
- Suggested measurements for each category
- I love the simple metrics included, but it also shouldn’t be ONLY metrics, qualitative factors are important too
- Likes that know what to ask projects
- Not a fan of target users as a metric as measure of relative impact
- Do not want to have metrics as the only source of truth
- Categories
- Less open for interpretation and more accurate
Fundation Q&A
- RFP for Voting UI coming soonTM
- Citizenship expansion to be based on attestations, for R3 will need something short term viable, more information will be forthcoming soon (within the next month)
- Seeing attestation focused projects applying for Missions
- Nomination process - should we implement something like Trust Tiers for that?
- Nomination process will not be the same as Round 2, there will be direct sign-ups instead (check out ecosystem contribution board for some related project ideas!)
- What is Scope for Round 3?
- Contributions that have supported the development and adoption of Optimism
- For now, very broad Scopes. In the future, the Collective could use the Scope to signal specific things we believe will be valuable in the future
- Is there going to be a cap on the # of applicants for this round?
- Not planning for a cap
- Is there anything stopping previous recipients from being nominated or receiving RetroPGF again?
- Nope, projects could have generated additional impact since the last round
- Will the measurements be quantified between R2 and R3 for repeated projects?
- When will grants and grantees be announced?
- After voting (in the fall), so around the end of this year
Stay Tuned
- Future posts will explain additional aspects of RetroPGF Round 3 design
- Foundation will host workshops on:
- RetroPGF Vision
- Impact Evaluation
- Citizens’ House Governance
- Collective Values
- When project sign-ups go live, want to drive awareness and encourage projects to apply
