Curate Rationale and Benefits of Plan for Implementing Cagendas in Season 3 of Optimism Fractal

Description

The faster we can build features to enable voting with Respect, the better we can position Optimism Fractal to play a leading role in Optimism Collective governance going into RetroFunding RetroFunding Round 6 (which is focused on governance). The Optimism Collective is seeking the kinds of solutions that Optimism Fractal provides, as you can see in their recently released blog posts about Experimenting with Deliberative Processes in the Collective The Path to Open Metagovernance, and plans to experiment with Impact Juries. The tooling that enables voting with Respect in flexible environments like Notion could greatly help Optimism Fractal community members earn significant funding, propel the growth of Optimism Fractal, and provide a powerful catalyzing force to implement fractal consensus processes throughout society.

Rationale

• The Optimism Foundation announced that they intend to experiment with Impact Juries in the next two rounds of Retro Funding. The idea of Impact Juries is to sort badgeholders into small groups dedicated to evaluating a specific set of applications and employing sortition to scale citizenship
• They say that this kind of qualitative process can be helpful for ‘upstream’ fund allocation decisions like governance and OP-stack, but it can also be helpful for ‘down stream’ fund allocation decisions like Onchain Builders and Dev Tooling. Subjective measurement assessment can always be helpful and we can show this by demonstrating it during the onchain builders round.

• We can provide what the Optimism Foundation and many people in the collective are seeking regarding impact juries, focused discussions about impact measurement, spaces to foster discussion and collaboration about impact evaluation, educational content to help improve governance

• In doing so we can position Optimism Fractal as a leading community for the governance of the Optimism Collective. We have great experience with the foundational concept of Impact Juries and are well positioned to lead in this way

• We can position ourselves to earn a lot from RetroFunding round 4 and provide opportunities for everyone in the Optimism Fractal community to create an impact in the collective by sharing their opinions about Optimism governance in Optimism Fractal events/discussions

• See Message with tadas about the proposal for Optimism Fractal seasons and the other tasks in Create seasonal structure for Optimism Fractal for more details about the rationale behind this seasonal structure for Optimism Fractal

Upcoming Retro rounds and their design

Based on Round 3 learnings, Retroactive Public Goods Funding (Retro Funding) is transitioning from broad scoped rounds to more narrowly scoped rounds; you can find out more about this transition here. To provide more transparency into the Retro Funding design process, in line with Optimism’s path towards Open Metagovernance, we’re sharing plans and considerations for Retro rounds for all of 2024.
