Happy new month from the Governance Working Group - the community-led initiative to define and technically implement governance models for the NDC. The GWG is to design and propose governance models for adoption; it does not directly run, manage, or operate the ecosystem governance or treasury.
Are you interested in contributing to the GWG? Follow our new contributor onboarding process here. Feel free to drop any questions, concerns, or comments in our general chat, as always!
Happy December, all! Last month of the Gregorian calendar year let’s goooo
Completed:
Community FAQs v1 internal to GWG - @IgbozeIsrael and I are working on completing and receiving internal feedback on our proposed frequently asked questions page on thewiki for the GWG. The plan is for this to become public by next week.
In Progress:
ADUSTED: Community KPIs for the GWG, which has been broken down into CE and Social KPIs, continues to be led by @IgbozeIsrael and @Albhion. After presentation at the CE meeting on Dec. 1, it was decided that further thought needs to be organized around a potential bounties process for the GWG before the KPIs can be completed. @Albhion will be leading this effort by gathering thoughts around a suggested bounty process in an internal doc, to be circulated by next week.
estimated deadline for the bounties process + revised Community KPIs document to be publicly posted before end of month
Community Polling brainstorming is underway - to support content for the GWG’s social media, and eventually Near Social, presence and to get our community talking about decentralized governance concepts - next CE meeting we will check in on what has been brainstormed asynchronously.
COMMUNITY LEADER & FOUNDER CALL TO ACTION:
Engaging the many sub-communities within the wider NEAR Community is going to be essential for the CE WG, so please indicate your willingness to collaborate by filling out this Google Sheet - this will be a rolling item.
NDC/GWG OVERVIEW – this is the most current description of our process of the GWG and NDC. We’ve been listening to how a clear description of what this movement is all about, therefore, the OVERVIEW is going to be shared as soon as next week – it’s very short, though we hope it is helpful.
IN PROCESS:
END OF THE YEAR REVIEW POLLS – this will be a set of Polls that will be put out that reflect key issues that the GWG is developing that are core to our V1 of voting and other processes. The polls are meant for US to learn from the community what’s top of mind and crucial so that we can be mindful as we proceed into 2023.
We will have a proposal for our “Radio” programming. We already have some interesting thought leaders who want to be a part of the project. More soon.
We’re finalizing an FAQ, Q&A as well as our Social Media programming.

→ Documented major assumptions of model.
→ Finalized initial timeframes for elections
→ Outlined basic VO to V1 implementation process.
→ Clarified key questions for closing the loop on the model - specifically centered around checking the TC further.
you mentioned having an identity/reputation group in some groupchat. I think this would work well on ways DAO, NEAR.Social, and NFT can work together rather than spinning out separate groups.
great Community of Near.
in advance Amigo
