Update October 16.
After receiving feedback, I realize that the result of this (collective brainstorming) process should be understood as input for the Foundation to define the next steps, in accordance with the working constitution and the path to open metagov.
I also want to highlight that while I use the term ‘proposal’ in this post, I’m doing so in the context of Sociocracy (specifically, its model of ‘Collective Proposal Creation’). I now see how that could cause confusion, as it doesn’t qualify as a valid proposal type under the operating manual.
In other words, my goal with this is to collectively generate valuable ideas while respecting the current governance processes and Optimism’s existing value proposition.
