Cagendas: A Tool for Collaborative Agenda Setting

Cagendas is a social coordination game designed to help communities create agendas, choose discussion topics, and make collective decisions together. It aims to facilitate creative collaboration and collective decision-making in a structured yet enjoyable way. The game is built to be fair, fast, and fun, making it accessible and engaging for participants.

Concept and Development Created in late 2022, Cagendas has been continuously developed to improve its functionality and user experience. The game operates by allowing community members to propose topics, which are then voted on. The most popular topics are selected for discussion during weekly events. This process helps allocate time efficiently among discussed topics, ensuring that all voices can be heard and that the most pressing issues are addressed first.

Community Engagement and Usage The Eden Fractal community has been particularly active in utilizing Cagendas, producing videos and engaging in detailed discussions about its use. Different game modes, like Vlalendas, have been developed to keep the gameplay dynamic and adaptable to different group needs.

Educational and Organizational Impact Cagendas supports communities in scheduling activities together to maximize benefits for all participants. By moving away from the traditional single-leader agenda-setting model, Cagendas empowers every member of the community to contribute to the agenda, democratizing the process and potentially leading to more thoughtful and inclusive discussions.

For those interested in implementing Cagendas in their community or learning more about the specifics of the game, additional resources and detailed guides are available at EdenCreators.com/cagendas, including historical contexts, variations of the game, and upcoming developments.

I’m thrilled to introduce a proposal for Cagendas at Optimism Town Hall **Proposal** Anyone who has earned Respect at Optimism Fractal can propose a topic by creating a poll in the new Optimism Town Hall [snapshot space](https://snapshot.org/#/optimismtownhall.eth), which may be added as a sub-space in the Optimism Fractal snapshot space. Whichever poll has received the most votes in the Topic Poll by Monday at 17 UTC will be the topic discussed during the week’s event after the Respect Game. The poll for the topic proposal must end on Monday at 17 UTC (or earlier) to be eligible as a formal topic proposal for the week’s event. **Introducing Optimism Town Hall** The Optimism Town Hall is envisioned as a new collaborative space for structured discussions about the Optimism Collective that is powered by Optimism Fractal Respect and presented by the Optimystics. The Town Hall is intended to be a weekly event that replaces the Optimism Fractal planning sessions with a more structured approach to selecting discussion topics by voting with Respect and a greater focus on facilitating conversations that provide a positive impact for Optimism Collective governance. We have exciting plans for the Optimism Town Hall and look forward to collaborating with you there to actualize the [Optimistic Vision](https://www.optimism.io/vision) throughout society. You can explore more details and contribute to the development of Optimism Town Hall in this [project](https://www.notion.so/Create-Optimism-Town-Hall-powered-by-Optimism-Fractal-Respect-1c4442c3bbbb4b9bb506b92a6fc9cd8a?pvs=21). - [ ] Implement a voting process on snapshot (or tally, jokerace, etc) where participants can vote on the answers to each question throughout the week using their Respect - Consider setting up a structured cadence where there is say a 1 or 2 week cycle for each poll and discussion to help guide the discussions - Consider also setting a specific time/date that the discussion topic is decided so that we have enough time to promote the topic in advance and each person has time to prepare - There could also be voting on who’s response to hear first in the meeting, which could work well in a complementary poll if people have several days to prepare their responses - See [Implement Cagendas to choose topics at Optimism Town Hall](https://www.notion.so/Implement-Cagendas-to-choose-topics-at-Optimism-Town-Hall-74c52c5499054d1da5ad21461e80f510?pvs=21) - I think we should encourage everyone in the collective to participate in the polls and discussions on the forum, even if they don’t participate in the weekly events. - This can be a way that inspires members of the collective to learn about Respect and inspire them to start participating in events - Even if they don’t participate in the events, it can still be very helpful for everyone since we’re providing structured event, forum posts, polls with democratic inclusive credibly neutral voting process, and video of discussions to facilitate/inspire discussions - Consider creating a separate post on the RetroPGF or General category of the forum that asks the question, invites people to the event, shares the video, shares a poll where everyone can signal their opinions, and shares the results of the previous polls that closed - [ ] Consider creating a farcaster channel for this too where we can eventually use onchain integrations as described in [Explore Integrations with Farcaster and Optimism Fractal](https://www.notion.so/Explore-Integrations-with-Farcaster-and-Optimism-Fractal-6d0a962a29a74d0e81ac169464abe21d?pvs=21) Curate Rationale and Benefits of Plan for Implementing Cagendas in Season 3 of Optimism Fractal ## Rationale - The Optimism Foundation announced that they intend to experiment with [Impact Juries](https://gov.optimism.io/t/upcoming-retro-rounds-and-their-design/7861#experiment-1-impact-juries-9) 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 ](https://www.notion.so/Message-with-tadas-about-the-proposal-for-Optimism-Fractal-seasons-89a0e71eb0964de8bab3ad6ec3a39e83?pvs=21)and the other tasks in [Create seasonal structure for Optimism Fractal](https://www.notion.so/Create-seasonal-structure-for-Optimism-Fractal-4a7f04c638814411ad9ba8d92bf0458d?pvs=21) for more details about the rationale behind this seasonal structure for Optimism Fractal - At the end of each season (or throughout) we can publish all the data with some graphs in an easily digestible format that enable badgeholders to see the answers to each question and preferences from each group of stakeholders based upon the Respect and the answers to each question - Can snapshot data be easily displayed like this even though it’s offchain or would a tool like jokerace or tally be better suites so that people could use tools like Dune and Open Source Observer to parse/display the data? ### Carl As verifiable impact metrics begin to play a greater role in the round design and voting mechanism, we'd like to see more citizens assume the role of “impact data scientists”. These are people who search the data for signals, good and bad. They track the impact of funding deployed across the ecosystem and propose models that aim to maximize impact per unit spent. With Open Source Observer, our mission is to create a “people’s data warehouse” for performing this type of work. We are un-opinionated about the form of impact but highly opinionated about the quality of the data backing it - and how easy it should be to access that data as a public good. If we are successful, then we hope to give OP badgeholders more data and impact metrics to work with in future Retro Funding rounds. We also hope to inspire more analysts to work on this problem because it’s a hard one and because we think there needs to be a plurality of impact models. 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](https://gov.optimism.io/t/upcoming-retro-rounds-and-their-design/7861#retro-funding-6-governance-14) (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](https://gov.optimism.io/t/experimenting-with-deliberative-processes-in-the-collective/8041), ****[The Path to Open Metagovernance](https://gov.optimism.io/t/the-path-to-open-metagovernance/7728)**,** and plans to experiment with [Impact Juries](https://gov.optimism.io/t/upcoming-retro-rounds-and-their-design/7861#experiment-1-impact-juries-9). ****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.

Cagendas Implementation Proposal for Optimism Town Hall

Cagendas, the social coordination game, has been proposed for integration into the Optimism Town Hall to enhance the way topics are chosen and discussed within the Optimism Collective. Powered by Optimism Fractal Respect, this tool is designed to democratize the agenda-setting process by allowing anyone who has earned Respect to propose topics. This is facilitated through the creation of a poll in the new Optimism Town Hall snapshot space, potentially added as a sub-space in the Optimism Fractal snapshot space. The topic that garners the most votes by Monday at 17 UTC each week will be selected for discussion in that week's event after the Respect Game.

Enhanced Discussion Dynamics at Optimism Town Hall

The Optimism Town Hall is being envisioned as a new collaborative space where structured discussions can occur about the broader Optimism ecosystem. This new format aims to replace the less structured Optimism Fractal planning sessions with a more organized approach. By voting with Respect, community members can focus discussions on topics that offer the most substantial potential impact for Optimism Collective governance. The initiative reflects a strong commitment to actualizing the Optimistic Vision, enhancing community engagement, and fostering a proactive governance environment.

Strategic Benefits and Broader Engagement

Introducing Cagendas into the Optimism Town Hall is expected to streamline how discussions are prioritized and conducted, making meetings more efficient and aligned with community interests. This structure not only encourages broader participation by respecting community members' inputs but also ensures that discussions are centered around topics with significant community backing. Furthermore, the use of a democratic and transparent voting process for topic selection underscores a commitment to inclusive and balanced community representation.

Future Developments and Community Involvement

The proposal for Cagendas at Optimism Town Hall is part of broader efforts to innovate and refine community interaction within the Optimism ecosystem. Community members are encouraged to participate in polls and discussions, whether or not they attend weekly events, fostering a deeper understanding of Respect and enhancing overall community engagement. This initiative is expected to inspire further participation and lead to richer, more constructive discussions that could shape the future of the Optimism Collective.

For those interested in more detailed developments or wishing to contribute to the continuous improvement of this initiative, further information and ongoing updates can be found through the project documentation and discussions hosted on platforms like Notion and the respective snapshot space. This is a dynamic project with potential significant impacts on how the Optimism Collective navigates governance and collaborative processes moving forward.
