Read the proposal: N/A
Authors: @frogmonkee
Date: May 25th, 2021
SUMMARY
A process for nominating and granting Contributor status to community members.
BACKGROUND
So far there have been two ways to the Contributor tag in Discord:
- Invitation from genesis team
- Nomination + vote from existing Contributors - This method came up organically in the first week as people began contributing heavily
MOTIVATION
We need a more equitable way to grant Contributor status. One that is not gated by an inner circle.
NOTE: This proposal only defines a process. We need to have a separate conversation about what contributor status really means.
SPECIFICATION
- Anyone (except yourself) can nominate a member for contributor status in #ops-general in Discord
- Someone else must second your nomination
- 72 hour poll is created
- Every level 1 member has a voting weight of 1 and every contributor has a weight of 5.
Contributors have a weighted vote because they have know the effort it takes to get earn the label and the expectation that comes with it.
NEXT STEPS
- Iterate/Vote
- Implement and include in DAOisms on Wiki
CONCLUSION
Proposal for nominating future contributors:
- Anyone can nominate
- Anyone can vote
- Level 1s votes as weighted = 1, current level 2 weight = 5 (knowing the effort it takes to get earn the label and the expectation that comes with it)
POLL
- For
- Against
