Update

  • We started with the conversation of how we all should feel comfortable in our participation on the committee, clearing out some doubts and misunderstandings related to the first structure that it was proposed versus the final structure decided with the meeting participants. At the end of the discussion everyone on the call confirmed that they will raise and discuss any points that they do not agree with, will give and receive feedback if needed, and also re-confirmed that we all agree with the final structure we discussed on.

  • The advisors groups are created with the aim to obtain a deep level analysis on a specific subject and provide the best possible recommendation, that will serve as crucial information for the group leads and committee chairs to give the best technical advice.

  • Voting rights agreed for chairs and advisor groups leads, pending to confirm voting weight.

  • Roles and responsibilities, we will accept the first version proposed and once a decision has to be made we will update them based on the experience obtained during the process.

  • Some members such as vice chair from Emurgo, Network advisor and communications member, are still in process.

  • Domain experts should be added to the parameters committee with the roles of contributor and observer. While participant election and participation is to be self-/ community-governed, the committee initiates the seats from a researched list of matching domain experts through majority voting to minimize any potential initial bias.

  • The committee’s escalation policy, open agenda and publication of minutes allows for transparency and invites comments until other processes are established.

  • Updates on the SPO poll were shared at the end of the meeting, by the CF.
