AVB Report December 2023, Transparency Commission Speaker

Details on Governance Contributions

Voted on Proposals, including reasoning for voting in favour/against some contentious issues. Hosting weekly TC syncs, structure meetings to cover all topics, ensure all members have an opportunity to contribute. Review of tasks needed for TC to be fully functional. Communicate and coordinate with other TC members to get this done.

Details on Community Engagement

Active participation in weekly Twitter Spaces syncs to provide updates on TC and answer questions from community.

Details on Collaborations

Regular meetings and communications w. NF, Trustees, and other houses. Core focus during December was to understand the concerns and requirements to get v1 live. Secondary order of importance was to review the remuneration agreements so as to settle previous work and establish new, aligned benchmark. Thirdly, were conversations around inactive members. These will be followed up on now that v1 is live and we can formally begin an investigation, and if required, proceed with removal.

Details on Documentation and Reporting

• Recorded and maintained AI Notes of all TC meetings using Fireflies AI (at my own expense). * Hired a freelancer to automate the Form Submission process so a submission automatially generates a PDF, these are clearly labelled and stored into specific Google Drive folders. These can then be easily shared with key stakeholders as required (cf. raw data on a spreadsheet).

Innovation / Improvement Details

Migrate all Documentation to Github. This was an initiative seeking better version control, particularly around documents that have been voted into operation by TC. Few things to note: - Google Docs remains a good place to work on Drafts - Once a document is Voted into operation (‘goes live’). It is recorded in Github - Any subsequent additions or changes are recorded on Github. We can see proposer, reasoning, compare historical versions of document, etc. * Drafted the TC Roles and Descriptions as required by Enforcer and Trustees as part of remuneration review (TC - Roles Descriptions - Google Docs) * MEMO on Remuneration Price Reference. This has served as the basis for interesting conversations in HoM and across TC, likely to evolve into a live framework using average pricing, etc. (MEMO: NEAR Reference Price for Congress Remuneration - Google Docs) * Third Party Review Framework. Extensive research, drafting, consultation with many key stakeholders including NF Legal, Trustees + Enforcer, HoM, among others. Updating document to incorportate and feedback and suggestions, reviewing to ensure it is cohesive, explaining the meaning, reasoning, and importance to everyone (including detailed responses to most comments on Document). This draft was the most time-consuming, and most important piece of work in December. TC - Third Party Review Framework - Google Docs

[rahulgoel007]

Hi @haenko
Me and Aescobar gave more value and spend more than 4 hours per week. As TC Officers, we should be getting 3000$ according to the roles which we decided earlier.

[haenko]

HoM and Trust did not approve this Doc with such roles like “TC officer”

[Aescobar]

I would like to make an alignment regarding Rahul’s statement. TC officer that he pointed out might be the TC council in general, I would like to confirm that we didn’t work with “minimum” works for TC from our side either me and Rahul.

I am not here to make a statement without reasonable compensation for myself. The time spent on the work exceeds the minimum hours required for minimum remuneration. Changing things for the December remuneration may be challenging, but we need to expedite the process.

Perhaps there is a way to claim extra hour incentives.
