I know this Future Citizenship Selection Criteria has been here before now, nevertheless i feel to make my input anywhere;

  1. Alignment with Optimismā€™s Vision

*Feedback: Ensure the criteria reflect Optimismā€™s commitment to public goods, governance, and retroactive public goods funding (RPGF). Highlight specific actions or contributions demonstrating alignment with these principles.

*Suggestion: Incorporate a scoring system or qualitative review based on an applicantā€™s involvement in RPGF-aligned activities or projects.

  1. Inclusivity and Diversity

*Feedback: The process should actively include underrepresented voices in Web3 and encourage participation from diverse geographies and demographics.
*Suggestion:Include a criterion to assess applicantsā€™ potential to bring unique perspectives or bridge gaps in the ecosystem.

  1. Past Contributions

*Feedback: Prioritize applicants who have verifiable contributions to Optimism or similar ecosystems. Contributions should include both technical (e.g., code commits) and non-technical (e.g., community education) efforts.
*Suggestion: Use on-chain activity, governance participation, or community feedback as evidence of contributions.

  1. Community Engagement

*Feedback: Future citizens should have demonstrated an ability to foster collaboration and build within communities.
*Suggestion: Ask applicants to provide examples of community initiatives theyā€™ve led or participated in, emphasizing outcomes and impact.

  1. Long-Term Commitment

*Feedback: Ensure that applicants are not just short-term speculators but committed to growing Optimism over time.
*Suggestion: Include a question about the applicantā€™s vision for their role in the collective and a pledge for continued involvement.

  1. Scalability and Feasibility

*Feedback: The selection process should be scalable to accommodate growth without compromising quality.
*Suggestion: Implement a tiered approach where initial rounds are automated (e.g, weighted scoring) and final selections involve qualitative evaluation by community representatives or stewards.

  1. Transparency and Feedback

*Feedback: Transparency in the selection process is critical to build trust in the collective.
*Suggestion: Publish anonymized selection metrics and reasoning for acceptance or rejection. Offer constructive feedback to rejected applicants to encourage future applications.

  1. Dynamic Updates

*Feedback: The selection criteria should evolve as the Optimism ecosystem matures and adapts to new challenges.
*Suggestion: Create a periodic review mechanism where the community can propose and vote on changes to the criteria.
