Hey Optimists!

We will be having a JOINT house meeting to talk about all things governance for both houses. We will be discussing what is happening in Token House & Citizens House governance.

Feel free to comment below on any topics you’d like covered.

Slides will be posted here before the call.

Best,

Here is an overview: [The Future of Optimism Governance — The Optimism Collective](https://optimism.mirror.xyz/PLrAQgE1EGRo7GRrFoztplFChnUZda4DFGW3dkQayxY).

The token house is made up of the token holders. Each token is equal to 1 vote. If you have OP tokens, you’re part of the token house! Tokens are normally delegated to delegates, who can cast votes on behalf of the tokens that are delegated to them.

The citizens house has different criteria. It governs RetroPGF and has some other powers as shown in the link. To be a member of the citizens house, you have to be an active contributor to the Optimism Ecosystem. The criteria for that is changing over time.
