Thanks for this proposal Simona,
I can only echo the sentiments already expressed that the previous Schelling Points were just fantastic events. I loved everything you and @gloria and the whole team accomplished in Amsterdam (and Denver before this) and can’t wait for the next ones.
I share some of the questions shared above by Kyle, Kevin & David, the main one for me what the benefit is of creating a separate workstream if there are no fixed contributors for now, except for you (part-time). A workstream entails quite some overhead, part of this for me is objective settings & metrics, budget transparency (even if you’re break even or better), a separate seat at CSDO and deep reporting.
When it comes to creating new workstreams I’m not too comfortable with unknowns to be honest, the more clarity there is now, the easier processes become. This is also a net positive for the DAO as a whole.
For reasons of simplicity and logic it would make the most sense to me if Schelling Point becomes a part of the ‘web3event.co’, the rebranding of the gitcoin holdings company, SP would logically become one of its key events. It would lower the overhead and it could just focus on its core mission, creating a series of great and impactful events supporting and promoting public goods.
If this is for some reason not desirable or possible, a candidate within the DAO could be either PGF or MMM. From our conversations I know you feel PGF would make more sense because SP is more than just Gitcoin, and I agree with this. This initiative could fall under the ‘grassroots community’ effort. My hesitation about this is that PGF already hosts a whole lot of initiatives and its core mission is Public Goods funding, not PG promotion. I do believe MMM could incorporate this initiative, their mission imo is more or could be more than just communicating about Gitcoin. But I would not oppose this to be initiative under PGF if a strong case is made for this.
Appreciate all you do and from my side as well, just seeing this as a conversation starter, I am not sure what the most efficient way forward is, but will definitely support the continued existence and success of Schelling Point in any way I can.
