End-of-Year Goals for the Assembly Phase
As we close out the year, our focus is on ensuring all governance components are connected, functional, and ready for transition into the Alignment Phase of the Governance Transition Program.
1. Understand the Holistic Governance Framework
Deepen collective understanding of how the Constitution, Proposal Process, Screening Committee Charter, and (Endorsed) Delegate Charters interact to form a cohesive framework for checks and balances.
2. Replace the Screening Committee
Finalize a co-created Screening Committee Charter and begin operationalizing the plan to replace the existing committee.
3. Support AI Governance Product Development
Collaborate to advance the AI governance tools including the Proposal Dashboard and Screening Agent ensuring they are aligned with governance processes.
4. Grow Participation in veNEAR Governance
Attract more NEAR holders to lock and stake for veNEAR by demonstrating visible progress, small wins, and the tangible value of engagement through co-creation cycles. The goal is to increase both trust and participation in House of Stake’s decentralized governance.
Summary
Together, these goals reinforce the objectives of the Governance Transition Program.
By delivering on them through the end of the Assembly Phase, we will be on track to enter the Alignment Phase in Q1.
