Hello Hello ! @jlwaugh thanks for sharing this relevant discussion, I did not wanted to intervine before, but now that I am a moderator from @creativesdao-council I believe I can speak up and add my contribution to this thread.
Crystal Clear: Yes, should be standardize.
Rewards should be directly related to the contribution, the creation of value, and the effort expended.
- Number of referrals (Leaders of new approved projects brought into the community)
- Number of proposals approved (advised, commented, voted)
- Number of successful projects (measured by achievements on metrics and reports)
- Number of unsuccesful projects approved (this will be a negative item)
- Number of votes casted
- Amount of distributed funding
- Other items could be: AMAs, Onboarding, Certifications, Partnerships, etc.
So the proceedure could be as follows:
- Moderator/Council guide a Project Leader from the outside into our community (if applies)
- Project Leader create a proposal (could be step 1)
- Moderator/Council find the proposal an shares advice or comments.
- Moderator/Council promote/vote the proposal
- Moderator/Council shares a report with the achievements on the projects where acted as a guide/promoter
- 1 of the Council/Moderators team make a complete Report
- Third party team conclude the assessment → Report with payments for Councils
This will be a point system that will meassure the creation of value and the effort expended.
Additionally, it is good to keep some experience on the team and also to rotate and give opportunities to new members. That is why we should come up with an evaluation process where we can add the feedback from the community members related to that vertical/DAO.
Third party Team/Guild follows up the process and also is able to ask Councils/Moderators to step down and allow new members to take the role. It is very important that new moderators/councils are recognized members of the community not new advisors from outside or nearcomers.
I have received some complaints from members about councils that are not active and take too long to approve/reject DAO proposals, even before the post was approved on the forum discussion. So, the Third Party Guild/Team will be key, as any direct move (claim) from members against current councils could be negative for them as there is not a clear proceedure to remove councils.
Hey ! We are doing experiments, we are growing, so it is natural to go step by step.
And yep, incentives are always key to achieve efficiency, that is why communism hasn’t worked out.
