Hi all,
Great post and subsequent conversation on the various parts of the Gitcoin DAO governance process. I’m looking forward to seeing this get ratified.
The MMM Workstream has been working on graphics to accompany the governance process outlined above. We hope these graphics will make it easier to grasp the various parts of how Gitcoin DAO works and operates. Please feel free to comment and provide feedback if you think these can be improved further.
As described in the post above:
“Workstreams are the atomic units of how stewards coordinate. A workstream is a group of people actively working on tasks that align with Gitcoin’s mission to sustain digital public goods.”
- This first graphic illustrates several Gitcoin DAO Workstreams in various parts of their lifecycle:
- The Workstream lifecycle is divided into separate states. To move into a subsequent level of formality, a workstream must satisfy a set of criteria. This second graphic illustrates the lifecycle of a Workstream:
- Active Workstreams consists of:
(i) Formalized team and a directly responsible Steward(s) (shaded circle).
(ii) Contributors (unshaded circles).
Contributors and Stewards can be part of multiple workstreams.
Workstreams are not funded by default and can have other forms of funding besides the Gitcoin DAO.
- Stewards may lead workstreams and vote on governance proposals. The voting power of a Steward is equal to the amount of GTC being delegated towards them by Delegators.
- GitcoinDAO is a liquid democracy and Delegators may change which Steward they delegate towards at any time.
