Greetings from the Governance Working Group - the community-driven 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.
Here’s the update on behalf of the Community Engagement Working Group (CE WG):
Completed:
GWG Contributor Onboarding - shout out to @cryptonaut for completing and uploading to thewiki.near v1 of this key process. Feedback is still of course very welcome but if you’re reading this update and are looking to know more about who we are - this link is where you start.
In Progress:
ADUSTED: Community Engagement KPIs - now being broken down into CE and Social KPIs, continuing to be led by @IgbozeIsrael but now with support from @Albhion - next version to be presented by the next CE meeting on Thurs. Dec. 1 and to be posted publicly shortly thereafter.
NDC Radio - in collaboration with Communications, we’re looking to begin to host a regular series on Twitter (think AMA but more deeper conversation and learning) and more info will be released next week.
Community FAQs - @IgbozeIsrael and I are working on developing a frequently asked questions page on thewiki for the GWG and hope to have this posted within a week.

Summary on Gov —»
Since the NDC is a community driven project and communities have all power(right) to decision making both on-chain and off-chain.
So the community would be made councils on Astrodao, while the admins would have lesser power and can only vote when it’s urgent or necessary to vote. For broader understanding there’s a docs to go through Community poll experiment docs for fair voting, misconducted decisions ,vulnerability of community funds and to avoid rigging votes , we need real humans to cast their vote.
1 vote per person
And to accomplish this initiative we need to use Nearsocial as a tool to get humans and more of their information than just wallet to vote

“As long as there’s life, there’s hope” we’re doing our best to get community engaged and updated on activities done weekly and let’s anticipate for next report next week as we progress
1. Refined Overview – we will be reviewing the new language this week that helps to give a clear, concise explanation of the NDC process and WGW’s role within it. Our legal lead has weighed in on it.
2. Public Facing Comms plan – we are finalizing our plan for a “radio” program that supports the larger exploration around governance innovation and the aims of the NDC. That proposal will be reviewed this week by the leads.
3. Logos and look and feel of the NDC process – we are developing logo drafts and simple ways to look/see the NDC process for the wider community with the help of great community designers.
