Hi everyone and thank you for your interest! To join the group, receive invites and participate, please fill out the spreadsheet above, review the ed workshop/orientation powerpoint above, and have a look at the reading list.

We are looking for committed stewards to support in working group ops & comms, the grant approvals review process and for those with a data science background - the ML algo/tech pipeline.

We have a meeting today at 4pm EST / 10pm CET focused on the grant approvals process and upcoming GG Round 10 - here is the agenda:

  • Review Notion Setup for Workstream
    • Overview of pipelines & objectives - Define, Detect, Evaluate, Sanction
    • How to participate in each
  • Review Grant Approval Process
    • Topology of bad grants & gray areas
    • How might we create a clear policy for GR11?
    • Separating PLATFORM from ECOSYSTEM
    • Q & A
  • Review Sybil Attack Mitigation Process
    • Topology of Attacks
    • Preventative Measures
      • Minimum Contribution Amount
      • Trust Bonus Requirement
  • Open Discussion - Potentially a 10 minute Mural brainstorm
    • What are the high impact, low difficulty adjustments we could make to improve the legitimacy of Gitcoin Grants?
    • What do you think we could do better or different for DEFINE, DETECT, EVALUATE, SANCTION pipelines?
    • What would a healthy and organized workstream look like?

Next Tuesday, 9am EST / 3pm CET we will have a 2nd educational workshop/orientation for the ML pipeline.

Again, please indicate your interest/experience/etc. on the spreadsheet.

Have a lovely day and look forward to working with you all!

In case you werenā€™t attending the meeting like I did :frowning:
I came up with some quick notes from watching the VOD:

  • the review process needs to be significantly more decentralized, more discussion about moving process to notion and the particular methodologies that (suspected) sybil attackers use
    some discussion on BrightID, and how it can be used to weed out attackers who are swapping bright IDs from one account to another, maybe it can be used as a flagging mechanism. David brings up that there could be a score associated

  • if youā€™d like to join the grants working group, you can message Jessica, see if you can make the commitment every 3 days, 30-60 minutes of async work reviewing grants

  • Jessica mentions how the block science team will be assisted by the data science team, fine tuning inputs, etc, etc.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Quick meeting note summary:

  • Just a recap of all the subworkstreams, can refer to slides
  • Some issues with the how transparent to be, obviously donā€™t want to give a guide on how to game the gitcoin ecosystem
  • more delegation of tasks from Jessica to others in the WG
  • compensating members of the WG for their time using a gitcoin grant
  • set up a discord channel where you have to have a certain role to get in, contact Scott Moore on discord to get this role.
