Welcome to the CFC Communication Thread!
The Collective Feedback Commission (CFC) was piloted beginning in Season 5 as part of the path to open metagovernance. As outlined in the Collective’s Working Constitution, the Foundation’s role is to bootstrap the governance system of the Collective over multiple years, gradually bringing more governance rights online until the system can manage itself. Metagovernance refers to the ability to propose changes to the design of the governance system. Given the importance of this responsibility, metagovernance is the last governance responsibility that will be transferred to the community.
The CFC serves as an experimental training ground to develop a “Core Governance Program” that will allow the Collective to take on metagovernance responsibilities in the future. The inspiration for this program is Core Development Programs. The goal of the CFC is to enable the Foundation to become just one of many Core Governors proposing metagovernance proposals in the future (similar to how OP Labs is just one of many Core Developers proposing protocol upgrades.)
Responsabilities
The next iteration of the CFC began on November 4th and will run through the end of Season 7.
-
Individual members of the Collective Feedback Commission will:
- Provide feedback on early Foundation design drafts, roadmaps, frameworks, etc.
- Participate in broader design discussions with the Foundation via monthly meetings
- Provide feedback on community authored Mission Requests to ensure they align with Season 7 Intents and/or other strategic initiatives
- Execute on contributions as scoped by the Foundation (members of the Design Research track will do this via Project Partnerships)Note: The Foundation will use feedback from Commission members as an input but is not obligated to incorporate any individual piece of feedback or implement the recommendations in any contribution. Commission feedback will be shared with the Foundation and other Commission members, and may be made publicly viewable by the entire community at the end of the Commission’s term. The Foundation will provide summaries of the impact of all contributions.
-
Foundation Track Leads will:
- To the best of our ability, request feedback on regular feedback cycles. Project Partnerships will be scoped with clear deliverables and deadlines.
- Host monthly calls with the Foundation governance design team to share context and facilitate a two-way dialogue with Commission members.
- Propose a selection mechanism that determines which members claim specific pieces of work, subject to simple majority approval by members at the start of the term.
-
The Commission Lead will:
- Onboard new Commission members, ensuring they are familiar with the CFC’s processes, mission, and operational structure. This includes providing any necessary documentation or training to help them contribute effectively from the start.
- Propose the evaluation algorithm by which rewards will be distributed to individual members at the start of the term, subject to majority (51%) approval (see “Rewards” section below).
- Ensure members of each track are executing on their responsibilities in a timely manner and flag any blockers to execution to the Foundation.
- Facilitate feedback loops and coordination between Commission members and the Foundation, when needed, holding the Foundation accountable to this Charter.
- Organize regular Commission meetings, as desired by members. The frequency of internal meetings is at the discretion of the Commission Lead but should be aligned with governance minimization.
- Authoring, or coordinating authorship, of any regular communication reports circulated to the broader community.
- Conduct feedback survey, facilitate peer reviews, and host retrospective workshop at the end of the Commission’s term to inform the next iteration
