Governance Weekly Recap

Week of December 12, 2022

Summary

Another week of exciting announcements from the Optimism Foundation, including the AttestationStation, a smart contract on Optimism that provides “a permissionless and accessible data source for builders creating reputation-based applications.”

:speaking_head: Voting for the three proposals below ends on December 21 ~1:30pm ET.

Proposals

Badgeholder Nomination Voting (Snapshot | Discussion). The Optimism Foundation recently announced the initiation of its long-awaited Citizens’ House, which, together with the Token House, forms the bi-cameral governance structure of the Optimism Collective. As part of this initiation, voting badges for the Citizens’ House will be distributed to 90 community members; 10 of these community members will come from within the Token House, and are to be nominated and voted for by the community through this proposal. Requirements for nomination are listed in the originating post, and the final nominations are listed here. It is important to note that this is not “ranked choice” voting. I.e. any number of nominees can be voted for, but the 10 with the highest number of votes will be selected.

In Discord

Voting in Token House badge-holder elections isn’t ranked choice. You can vote for any number of nominees, and the top ten will be selected.

Just how many Citizens in the Citizens’ House?

Season 3 will be roughly nine weeks long, depending.

What happens if badge-holders from rPFG1 get elected for Citizens’ House badges?
