SEED Latam - Delegate Communication Thread

[Joxes]

1) Voting Cycle #21 decisions

Two proposals were presented for consideration: a) Improved Advanced Delegation, which is a protocol update for the Optimism governor, and b) Intent Budget Proposal #2, aimed at reallocating Season 5 Intents funds. Both were approved to proceed to a vote. We voted FOR the first proposal and abstained from voting on the second one. Details are posted below:

• a) Proposal: Improve advanced delegation voting

Proposal: Improve advanced delegation voting

We voted FOR this proposal. On-chain voting procedures should be as abstracted as possible, regardless of the complexity of the governor designed. This upgrade is a step in the right direction. After reviewing the proposal, its proposed changes, and the audit report, we believe it is appropriate to proceed.

• b) Season 5: Intents Budget Proposal #2

Season 5: Intents Budget Proposal #2

We’re abstaining from the vote on this one, as I am a member of the Grants Council.

2) Token House participation and incentives: 2nd Report

We have delivered the 2nd Token House participation and incentives Report, intending to provide digested quantitative information and relevant insights to track governance activity across seasons. This report focuses on the first half of Season 5. Comments and feedback over the topics raised and report itself are welcomed.

Token House participation and incentives: Season 5 (Cycle 16-19)

During the previous season, we conducted a report that served as a reference for measuring participation in Governance (you can see it here). First of all, we want to acknowledge the contributions of @dmars300, @brichis, and @lavande, whose insightful feedback has enriched this report. In Season 5, our team lead by Joxes and members @Pumbi, @AxlVaz, and @delphine have been working on this report, which, like the previous one, aims to provide information to evaluate the progress of our Optimism…

3) Comments and feedback

Lastly, we have been analyzing the progress of Season 5 as well as the new announcements made by the Optimism Foundation. We have provided important comments and raised some questions. Please see below to follow the discussion:

• Season 5 Feedback Thread

Season 5 Feedback Thread

Now that we’re in the second half of Season 5, I have crafted some feedback to consider during the upcoming reflection period and the next season. Procedures On Protocol upgrades: In line with the suggestions made by Polynya here, in the future, any protocol upgrade proposals should be voted on at a more measured pace, for instance, a maximum of one per voting cycle. Unless they are deemed critical upgrades or subjected to a one-package release, users should not be subjected to multiple chan…

• Upcoming Retro rounds and their design

Upcoming Retro rounds and their design

This is a rationale for the delegation of SEED Latam, discussed among @Joxes, @Pumbi, @habacuc.eth and @delphine and we are sharing it below. We agree with the new approach of conducting specific scope rounds as we consider it to be simpler both for applicants when participating, as well as for badge holders when evaluating. Additionally, having the calendar in advance provides predictability to when builders would be potentially rewarded for their positive impacts on the Collective. Rewardi…

• Introducing the Collective Feedback Commission

Introducing the Collective Feedback Commission

This is a rationale from the SEED Latam delegation that we have been evaluating with @Joxes, @Pumbi, @AxlVaz, @delphine, and @habacuc.eth , which we are sharing below. We are looking forward to the CFC, a step to strengthen and improve the processes of collecting qualitative feedback from the community, which is important for the iteration of Measure & Analyze. Given its novelty, we have some questions about how it will function: What types of commitments do CFC members have towards the commu…
