I know this Future Citizenship Selection Criteria has been here before now, nevertheless i feel to make my input anywhere;
- Alignment with Optimism’s Vision
- Feedback: Ensure the criteria reflect Optimism’s commitment to public goods, governance, and retroactive public goods funding (RPGF). Highlight specific actions or contributions demonstrating alignment with these principles.
- Suggestion: Incorporate a scoring system or qualitative review based on an applicant’s involvement in RPGF-aligned activities or projects.
- Inclusivity and Diversity
- Feedback: The process should actively include underrepresented voices in Web3 and encourage participation from diverse geographies and demographics.
*Suggestion:Include a criterion to assess applicants’ potential to bring unique perspectives or bridge gaps in the ecosystem.
- Past Contributions
- Feedback: Prioritize applicants who have verifiable contributions to Optimism or similar ecosystems. Contributions should include both technical (e.g., code commits) and non-technical (e.g., community education) efforts.
*Suggestion: Use on-chain activity, governance participation, or community feedback as evidence of contributions.
- Community Engagement
- Feedback: Future citizens should have demonstrated an ability to foster collaboration and build within communities.
*Suggestion: Ask applicants to provide examples of community initiatives they’ve led or participated in, emphasizing outcomes and impact.
- Long-Term Commitment
- Feedback: Ensure that applicants are not just short-term speculators but committed to growing Optimism over time.
*Suggestion: Include a question about the applicant’s vision for their role in the collective and a pledge for continued involvement.
- Scalability and Feasibility
- Feedback: The selection process should be scalable to accommodate growth without compromising quality.
*Suggestion: Implement a tiered approach where initial rounds are automated (e.g, weighted scoring) and final selections involve qualitative evaluation by community representatives or stewards.
- Transparency and Feedback
- Feedback: Transparency in the selection process is critical to build trust in the collective.
*Suggestion: Publish anonymized selection metrics and reasoning for acceptance or rejection. Offer constructive feedback to rejected applicants to encourage future applications.
- Dynamic Updates
- Feedback: The selection criteria should evolve as the Optimism ecosystem matures and adapts to new challenges.
*Suggestion: Create a periodic review mechanism where the community can propose and vote on changes to the criteria.
