Q&A

A

Hello, what's up team.

B

Oh, my goodness mikey looks like he's in a harmony garage back there.

C

Yes, I it might be a little loud, I'm in an airport. Currently um so apologies for the background noise, but I think uh I'll just make sure that I'm on youtube.

D

All right, let's see hi.

C

D

Hello rubble. This is paul and jordy hello.

E

Hi welcome. How is barcelona this morning today is a little bit sunny. It's going to be cloudy again, but right now it's sunny nice.

B

All right um as we pull this stuff together, I'm gonna give a few more minutes for more people to join on. um I'm gonna ask what I'm gonna do. Is I'm gonna mute everybody on the call as they come in?

B

um Let's see here.

B

So I haven't said that I actually have to.

B

uh Admit everybody as they come in which I'm gonna change, that for later um a later meeting, hello rach? How are you.

F

Sarah's needed good morning, everybody.

C

Rob I love the background that you have right now. My friend that's.

F

So cool, what's up rob.

G

Oh, thank you how's. It going.

F

We got on here, stickery do miguel what's up.

F

G

B

Oh colin wants to come back in, he leaves and then come back saying tell.

F

B

He's trying to connect his audio, I can see that he's having some audio-ness.

B

So all right, we are just about to get started.

B

F

Did we get an invite out to jcr.

B

Yeah, all those invites have gone out, they've all been added, um obviously just so everyone knows as we load this up. um I am recording this meeting, so please do not say anything untoward or blue. uh We will be posting it to our youtube channel a little bit later um as soon as we finish here, um but the idea here is: we want to make sure you know. Every single day the dow operations team comes together this morning at about 9 15 in the morning, and we go through funding requests and we go through.

B

um Basically everything we could possibly go through um the uh funding request, tooling, requests. We talk about onboarding, we talk about what else we can do to make the dow ecosystem better uh devon. What else do we talk about.

A

Rules that will make the ecosystem better. um We laugh at some dad jokes that sam tells that's true, but we do we do a lot yeah. No, we don't laugh you're right.

B

What about you mike? What else do we talk about.

C

No, uh you nailed it sam and again, apologies folks. If there's a background, noise, yeah.

B

There's some background noise, so um it's not bad. It is like it's just a little distracting, um so let's we should watch that carefully. um Okay, so let's get started now in our. uh The idea here today is that we will go through the same sort of um the same sort of operations that we would normally go through, um where we have you know, devin and rachel and mikey.

B

uh We pull up our our notes uh for the for the day and then we go through the various um uh different action items that need to get done. So normally what happens is we'll start with a conversation of either kind of what's going on in tools or what's going on in funding um this morning, we're going to do it a little bit differently, because we realize that that most of you haven't seen kind of the ongoing process.

B

um So what we want to start with is basically a seven day recap um and so mikey. If you have the ability to talk a little bit about what dows were approved this last week. That would be great. uh But given your your background, noise, we may have to take that on ourselves. What I'm gonna do? uh Mikey, uh are we using the air table to show off the pipeline here or not.

C

uh We're gonna use the air table a little later when we dive deep into funding proposals, but just notes wise right off the bat um I'd like to say that, yes, in the past week, we've actually approved uh several doubts um for for bootstrap grain and we've been absolutely killing it with regional doubts lately and regional dows in turn have been killing it themselves.

C

So this is what I'm very excited about is because the dows that were approved this past week aren't just regional downs, they're very unique doubts, which is something very exciting. We approved the lighted up dial, which wants to bring uh projection art to web3 um and have classes about projection art all over the all over the country for different events, there's also a great path of self-sustainability there. We also did the aura dogs dial, which wants to you, know bring web 3 to animal care.

C

You know it in real life utility yeah, and then we had the beta dao, which is very focused on uh chinese pre-entrepreneurs and bringing them.

B

The resources they need.

C

To build anywhere.

B

Hey mikey, I'm gonna pause you just for a second um devin and rachel. How is that background noise? Are you guys able to make it out? Okay, fine for me. Is it right? Okay, I hear it, but I can still make out what mikey saying: okay uh go ahead: mikey.

B

C

Silence, buddy yeah, no uh and I'm sorry again, everybody um but yeah, no so uh very exciting stuff that we got going on the philippines. Dial was also regional down that was approved for bootstrap brands in the past week. They just recently just uh last night or this morning, completed their uh translation milestone, and so they should be getting. You know ten thousand dollars in their treasury suit to do whatever the governors and the community deems necessary.

B

Wow, so we have a bunch of people who are dropping out and dropping and pulling back in and so every time I try to write notes, it's like no, you can't write notes, you have to admit somebody to the meeting. um Okay, so translation is done all right. um Anything else on the dow approved so far and all of those were for the 50k bootstrap is that right, mikey.

B

You're a mute buddy.

C

These specific three lighted up doubt or dogs down invaded out because we approved them prior to prior.

C

But moving forward once the mvd is published, it's all it's all going to be different, but these three we did approve before that change happened also just really quickly. uh The nigeria dao also had a flurry of activity for uh for funding, which is very exciting.

C

um They're also they're, co-sponsoring a hackathon, and I just wanted to put this in front of you sam um they requested um or they they want to know. If two members can come to nigeria during the days of the hackathon which is in may, I believe uh court.

A

Corps members or.

C

Some other team members can come and be judges for the panel they're expecting about 100 developers right now and more to come.

B

So uh do we know so there are two members, so two of the governor, the signatories of the dao, want to come to nigeria for a hackathon.

C

Oh no, they they want two harmony members to present for the hackathon, for as judges.

B

Right uh we need to date, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, um let's see harmony core so uh get the dates for us um odds are, is right now, no um as you as you may see, we brought the entire team, like you know, to denver. For the entire month, we've had a lot of team members that have been at ethrio. We've had a lot of team members that have been at austin.

B

We have a few more events coming up, so we have a very small number of team members, like literally the core team is about 20 people and having them fly all around the world. All the time is sometimes a little tough. That being said, we may be able to do something virtually um so coming out in person to nigeria is probably a no. It's I'm actually 95 sure that that's gonna be a no, um but having somebody participate virtually may be a possibility.

B

That being said, there are a variety of initiatives that are happening over the next two or three months in africa. I know that adrian and the production team will be headed out there to work with the the ghana unity dao around the goddard summit and panel, as well as the sierra leone dao, and the sierra leone bootstrapping training development work that princess sarah is doing, um and also the work with with kwaku mandela for the house of mandela dao.

B

So we may possibly have harmony members in africa anyway that overlap, and so that is the reason why it's not a 100, no there's a possibility. We have somebody there anyway right.

C

And um and also we'll have uh afrika dao we'll be hosting a hackathon in kenya in nairobi, correct yeah on that same yeah. So let me let me let me get the dates and then I'll put them in the notes.

B

One other thing mikey uh that we should start talking about is: are we going to continue? I know this is going to open a count of worms. Are we going to continue referring to the african doubt as the africa dao or is it the impact impact plus dao or is when you refer to the african doubt? Is that something different um than than what we have talked about before the afrika dao is still the africa now currently, okay, all right, I know I know that.

B

There's a lot a lot of work, that's being done on that, there's a lot of community discussions and some very, very passionate people talking about what they want to do and what what they want to see happen, which is terrific. I just want to make sure that I do give space for the community themselves to be able to make these sort of decisions.

C

And uh I I believe there is going to be a vote on that soon. I I don't believe it's happened yet, but there's going to be a vote for the name: change excellent, that's exciting, good to watch so so so as of now due to community. I just make sure to just keep calling it africa down. Okay, because that's where we're at.

B

Yeah, I think that, and I think that's right um so I think that's the right decision, okay, cool anything else on the dow approved from last week, topic.

B

You're on you, buddy.

C

That's gonna, be it for.

B

Yeah all so uh super devs flipping it over.

A

To you to talk.

B

To you about, uh can you tell us about the dow tools that were launched this last week.

A

Yeah, so we did an awesome download um last friday, uh where we had the teams on. If you were there. Thank you guys so much for showing up that. um We had five dow tools. Well, there's six. We can talk about it, but um the first one was charm burst. So charm verse is like notion, but for dow tools.

A

So it allows you to have a notion board with your dow have bounties within those notion tasks, and you can have that be any token. It can be a governance token. It could be one, it could be a nft, so these can be. You know you can build reputation, scores.

A

It's a really, really neat tool, very simple: it is currently in uh beta but is fully on chain integrated, so just join their discord and they'll get um they'll, get you added to the beta edition um and it will be coming out fully on harmony with a lot of other great features uh throughout the year slowly in phases, but it is usable now, um there's also d-work, so d-work is think trello.

A

So if you're not used to notion- uh and you have a more affinity for a trello style user interface, dwork is probably for you and your down, it is yeah. The ability to manage tasks, see the pipeline of what is going on again have bounties attached there, a really great team and they've also integrated with integrated it with discord, so that you can have say your dow just uh discord chat and you can see. Oh new bounty, I'm gonna go click on that.

A

Do that bounty and you can see the progress of that bounty as it goes um again, you can use any token for that. You can use one uh governance, tokens or nfts um and again you can start to build that reputation within your dow, which is again really important. um Then we have a bola network, so bola network is a in. You know, ability to send invoices pay remittances uh and essentially just manage the entire dow's accounting, but also on chain also really really great team. All these teams are fantastic, and this tool is super.

A

Clean super easy to use was blown away when they, uh when they pitched it to us. We also have top gg, um so top gg is essentially a um the ability to go somewhere and search the for dials that are on harmony right and the thing that you can do is really cool. Is please go over to top gg put put your dow on there and then, if you're, looking for grant funding, you can put in the category box, you know harmony, grant or harmony grant need like just find a.

A

I forget what we decided on. I think it was harmony grant and if you put that as one of the categories for your dow, it lets us know that your dow is looking for a grant, and so it's just a more and let's everyone know that. Oh this, this dow is on harmony but they're.

A

Looking for a grant, that's the stage they're at um or this dow is looking for a grant, and maybe you dig in you realize oh they've been around for a while they're coming over from another network, so really great indexing site that I recommend every dao utilized um and then we had uh well one reputation. I think sam I'll leave you to discuss one reputation or I'm I'm happy to. I think your own, not.

B

A mute I'm just with it because got it. I love one reputation.

A

B

Yeah so, um but I'll talk about one reputation in just a minute: cool.

A

And then uh the last one we had for this month with uh is commonwealth, so commonwealth, actually just fully integrated. Yesterday we're going to do a webinar, get that information out there about how to use commonwealth. What it is is essentially a forum site where you can have full transparency. I think talk.harmony.org, but with you know, on-chain integration. So you can do governance. You can do votes. You can see what other dials are voting on.

A

It's just a little more uh concise view of dows, specifically rather than just forums where you don't know who's part of what um and in the future. That will right now. It'll be your taos out there with all the other dows and the sea of daos. But it will. um We will have a system where you can then see oh harmony and then all the dows that are on harmony, so it will be consolidated to one place. So you don't have to be searching the sea of daos.

A

That are, you know across many different networks um and then are we going to oh this question for sam? Are we going to share access to the doc after.

B

So boom yeah, that's a good question, um so this particular dock is uh effectively our our ongoing notes. So it doesn't make sense to share it with everybody, um but this particular video will be posted to youtube um and so you'll be able to see go back and view all that. The other thing that I'll mention is we have um the dow operations notion page um where we have everything that's going on with the daos.

B

We have this dow, tooling dashboard, which people can come and look at to see where things are, where they've been integrated kind of what the status is about, where, if they're done or not um so all of this stuff is on here that you can dive in and take a look uh rachel had a statement to say something really quick.

F

um Yeah, I just want to ask on behalf of everyone, so is this open to everybody.

B

The notion should be able to access and see, but they should they they should not be able to to edit it. I will have to double check that, because I know that just this last week we did kind of a blank and blate blink it like the thing that you wrap yourself up when you're cold um kind of a lockdown of the notion site, and so I just have to double check, and I know it's hit a bunch of I like rachel's, constantly saying hey. I can't get my thing um and devin's like.

B

Why did you? Why am I being fired? What's going on guys.

A

That's worked for me right.

B

But the the quick takeaway is. I want people to be able to see this to be able to see what's happening um uh devon to your point earlier charm. Verse. Are we fully integrated so we can move it over to done.

A

So charm, verse again it's fully integrated. There is a lot more coming and it is in beta. So that's the only reason I kept it integrating. But yes, it's fully done all right. Have we.

B

Used that yeah have we done the training, video.

A

No, that is scheduled for the 5th of april. Sorry, I keep in mind. That's probably why so.

B

Then that's yeah yeah, so that's the other thing for everyone to be able to see is the on harmony uh protocol youtube. You should be able to find all of these training videos devin. I know that you've been recording them and and getting them done do we know if they've started being pushed out to the youtube channel. Yet no.

A

B

A

Just started this last week: okay,.

B

So watch um so everyone on the on the call watch the youtube channel. It's not going to be a harmony garage, sorry, but but there will be these great uh training videos that you can understand how to use these various different, dow toolings um and just for a little bit of visualization into the grand process.

B

um This is our current, a stack of of dows, we'll we'll go into this a little bit later um mikey, but I just wanted to show off that. We do have these pipelines that are constantly running about where things are, um but I want to go back to our our agenda.

B

um Okay, anything else on dow, tooling steph from the last.

A

Seven days it would just be to discuss one reputation and, within the last seven days um other than redoing the um dow tooling grant guideline, um but that's not really that's coming up in terms of publishing so.

B

Yeah, that's the.

A

B

A

B

Yeah so one reputation, this is going to be incredibly powerful and I cannot cannot emphasize this enough enough. What I'm going to do is I'm going to back up just a little bit and I'm going to jump into the next section of the agenda, which is the coordinate challenge.

B

So one of the reasons why I did the coordinate challenge is I'm trying to get as many dows on quarter nape as possible, specifically for one reputation so this last week, um oh by the way, just fyi, we are going to do a q a towards the end of the discussion. So albert uh keep your keep your question in hand and and we'll make sure to address it a little bit later, so the coordinate challenge uh thousand dollars for every day that gets 20 members or more um signed up on coordinate at this stage.

B

All I was asking for is hey. Let's get them in right, let's just get them in and so what ends up happening is we have a very perfect circle where everyone is contributing perfectly to everybody else? That's not how these circles are going to look going forward once you start using the tool.

B

We every single one that sent it in to me. Everyone who sent it into rachel, you have been funded. That doesn't mean you have completely messed up like you've, completely missed it, but it's saying that particular coordinate challenge for now is closed. We'll have many other adoption challenges going forward as these tools get launched. So watch carefully for those, as you see them, one reputation folds into coordinate challenge, because what happens with coordinate is that you get all of your peers.

B

Tell you what you've done. They say: okay, devon! You know I. I really think that devon needs to be recognized, for you know all the work he did last week. Rachel really didn't show up to work at all and mikey. You know he kind of flies in and out, um and so I can rank how I recognize my team members by the way that would never happen. Rachel is massively like she's constantly online constantly working mikey is high. All the time. No, I'm kidding um plane wise, that's a height elevator he's.

E

B

He's got an airplane he's at 30 000 feet all the time. No, but the point is: is the entire? The entire team um is able to say? Okay, I recognize I work with them really. Well, I can do a peer recognition bonus what they did currently, it's with tokens that don't exist on chain, but what will happen in the future is, as you get those tokens you can generate a psv file or a an excel spreadsheet file.

B

That will tell you exactly what that um that distribution looks like and then you'll be able to plug it into the tool. The one reputation that's currently final being finalized being built, and then those tokens that you allocated will be turned into non-transferable tokens specific to your dow.

B

So, for example, the community gao has community dow reputation tokens and those will be dropped directly into your one wallet that you use to sign up for uh one while into your your wallet that you've used to sign up on, coordinate and that reputation will track with your wallet. So it's the closest thing to your identity as possible. A real reputation, that's helpful for two different reasons: number one.

B

We want to incentivize people using this, and so we want to ask the dows to start paying out spot bonuses or peer bonuses right so use a little bit of your funding, say: okay, every week, we're going to put a thousand dollars or a hundred dollars or whatever the community decides as a peer bonus for the work that you're contributing to the doubt, and then that hundred dollars will be divvied up based on the percentage of peer bonuses based on what all of your peers say.

B

The second thing that will happen so that'll get you there down the road one stage or two stages down.

B

The dow will be able to trigger votes that are not based on one wallet, one vote or based on the amount of ones that you have in your wallet. So it's no longer kind of individual democracy or plutocracy about you know the rule of the rich. Now what it is is based on your reputation, based on your expertise that your colleagues and your co-workers have attributed to you.

B

That's what is weighted for your vote, and so, as you know, somebody who is a master of no, as somebody who is a has a lot of experience with, let's say dowsed and I'm in the dow dao I may have 5 000, dow reputation, points and rachel who just joined. It may have a hundred reputation points, and so, when we have a vote through quadratic voting based on reputation points, my expertise will be higher weighted than rachel's expertise.

B

Rachel will still be able to vote, but my vote will be higher rated, because I understand this field that we're voting on better than rachel, based on what my peers have said. So that's what one reputation will be I want to. I want to stop there and move on. I just want to let you guys know that we're getting there. Okay, um so that that's where we stand right now. um I am slightly remiss because the next thing is is dow funding. Mikey, do you happen to have off the top of your head?

B

What doubts were fun in the last seven days, because otherwise I have to go and have to look it up.

C

No, no thank you. Thank you. You know so in the last seven days, um just last night or was the day before the developer, dow was funded for 100 000, so awesome um other than that. uh Just today, uh the nigeria dow has put in a couple of uh I mentioned this earlier, a couple of um invoices uh requests to get funding for uh milestones that they have accomplished. I can acknowledge that I can verify that um so by next week.

C

This will be a very different conversation, because there's going to be a couple, more funding, there's going to be more funding going on, especially when, because as of now, the lighted up down or a dog's dial and veda dao have just been approved. I haven't quite received funding yet, but that's coming it's coming.

C

Probably you know as soon as as soon as they submit the invoice to um grant dash funding, we can approve it, get it out there but yeah, but but but as of the past seven days, uh developer dao has received funding so yeah. That's.

B

Awesome, um okay, so just looking at a little bit about kind of how things are going and they want to make sure that we keep what we can.

B

So, as you can see um when it comes to the dow the coordinate challenges, those have been funded right, um the indian dow got funded, the coordinate, india got funded, um the developer dow uh got funded, um and then things uh kind of on task here is that's it right now, but, as you can see on a given week, lee goes through basically 20 to 30 funding requests.

B

I'm gonna go ahead and close that um the the thing that the only reason why I didn't want to go into that a little bit more details, because there's a lot of stuff in there that we don't necessarily know about- um and I don't want to flag it.

B

Okay, so uh funds are flowing um and we have as a grant as a grantee as a dow, when you have something that you know that you've accomplished a milestone or you're ready to get funded, the really important piece so that it goes without us getting involved is going to slash, grant dash funding and writing that up. um Note that we all that when we get tagged on stuff, we all go in and approve it like personally before it goes to leave.

B

So if you're, if you try to go in and say, hey sam approved me for a hundred million dollars, I'm gonna go in there and tag it as red. So don't do that um so there you go. uh Okay! Moving on new dow tools, added to the pipeline, rach.

F

Hey all right, um I'm happy to see you all here today, um I'm really lucky to work with sam.

A

And devin um I've been learning a lot from them and we've been really busy trying to find new dow tools.

F

um So yeah I've been evaluating.

A

And moving them to in conversation and setting up calls with devin and myself.

F

To onboard different dow tools, another thing that I've been working on recently is compiling a resource that will act as an open reference guide for all of you, and this will provide a one-pager for each dial tool and this will give an overview of the project along with the demo video as a resource.

F

So that's something I've been working on separately on notion in my own notes. I don't know if you're able to show that, but I'm going to integrate that now that I have access um to the dao operations page.

B

Do you have a a quick reference to what it is the title.

F

um It's in rachel's notes and um let's see.

F

Yeah so there, if you go to charmers, for example, so just like a quick overview of the project, what it is a one-liner, a demo, video and then it goes into details. um So I've been working on that for for each of the dow tools that we've already integrated um that are.

B

F

We're either integrating or working with so yeah. I want to integrate that to the proper place.

B

Still in progress yeah, some of them are still in progress, but that's exactly what this call is about is to see the fact that all of these things are constantly being worked on and we'll be moving them um and we'll be giving you know further information and further details as it comes out. So thank you. Rach all right.

F

um Okay, so some of the newer ones that we're looking on to for next month um is orca. I actually had a demo call with zk chun from their team.

F

Orca is essentially a gnosis safe with conditional membership, and it offers more specialization of governance tasks and what they want to do in doing this is have people work together in pods and get away from tokenized voting, which I really like, because I feel that that could help dallas to be more focused and more productive and specialized groups.

F

um So I'm really looking forward to that. I think we have a call with them on either the fourth and fourth uh to see where they're at they were really focused on launching.

A

On ethereum, but um hopefully next month,.

F

We'll start working with them: excellent, okay, next one I.

B

Have is rabbit, hole.

F

um So I like rabbit hole because it offers gals a chance to write proposals, create artwork and upgrade their skills they're doing quests. I haven't gotten a demo for their.

A

F

Yet so I don't want to talk too heavily on it, but it does look promising and I really hope that we get rabbit hole by next month too.

F

um Let's see, and then we also spoke to another project that I really like um called orange protocol. um I actually met a girl named gloria at our tgi, and this deals with more reputation management.

F

It allows users to measure their credit and income data and measure contributions through rewards, and it also wants to help us get away from tokenized voting and allocate voting power uh through reputation.

B

Yeah so the the thing that's interesting about or uh orange, so gloria I've actually talked with a lot she's working on a thesis around dao's, a master's thesis um she's been interviewing me and several other people in in kind.

A

B

um The thing that's interesting is orange is actually more of a b to b software solution, rather than a b just b. um The the core concept here is that a lot of the stuff that we're doing in dow tooling is focused towards the community, so the community people can use it. This particular tool would be focused a little bit one level higher um to be able to service as a a data vault.

B

um I did want to flag really quickly um for for jimbo who mentioned this, even though we talk about getting away from tokenized voting, even though we talk about doing a bunch of these different things.

B

At the end of the day, the dow tooling department right kevin where department our goal is to get as many tools as possible live on harmony. That way the dows themselves can decide. Oh this particular one. I don't want to have tokenized voting that one. I want to have only expert voting um this other one over here, you know is completely. You know it has to be investment voting, it's all economics right, and so I want all of the doubts and harmony whatever they end up being to be as flexible as possible.

B

um Anyway, go ahead rage.

F

um Yeah, so I I just thought it looked like a promising project and I I really liked that gloria showed up to our tgi and she was just very proactive with wanting to get.

A

Involved in our community.

F

And um you know, I, like I, like the in-person vibes when we're.

A

Not just behind a computer.

F

Screen and the team actually shows up to our events, um so yeah um we're still waiting, uh maybe next month we'll look at orange um the next one I want to talk about that. I really like is mirror xyz. I don't know if you guys have heard about mirror. um I've been doing.

A

A deep dive on them and also getting involved in their discord community to try and get a hold of.

F

Someone from their team to set up a call, so what I like about mirror is. It allows us to earn money through published articles, so your published article becomes an nft.

A

And it allows if you're.

F

Working with other authors to split the revenue um and yeah, it just basically allows us to have another path for self-sustainability for dows, like I know.

A

In bridge builders,.

F

They're already.

A

Writing lesson.

F

Plans and doing stuff this could give us a path to self-sustainability through writing articles. So I really like mir and I'm also hoping that we um get to talk to them by next month and onboard them as a dow tool.

B

So what I'm going to do really quickly is I'm going to jump. We've talked a little bit already about the funding updates. um The one thing I wanted to flag and I'm gonna blitz through this pretty quickly mikey, because um we're running short on time is the way that this the way that we work as every morning the funding team comes together um and we start with a review board that has we don't know how many uncategorized that I've submitted this morning, it's 31., and then we allocate it to various different people to say.

B

Okay, this is a dow. It goes under sam and his team. This is d5. This is game to buy. This is all these very simple things and it gets moved into the to review, need info to approve category for dows themselves, as we get in. You can see how we have a couple here that that uh need to be categorized as a to review. We have 22 here that are still waiting to to have the review.

B

So whenever I talk about getting through my backlog, this is what I'm talking about and then the ones who need info nine times out of ten on the need info information. It's because they asked for a doubt. We look like it's really interesting, but they didn't fill out the details like they don't have nine governors, they don't have three mandates, they don't have any deliverables, they don't have any metrics since we say okay, great, this looks fantastic.

B

Please put it into the format that we need to do this. Oh thank you mikey. I realize that I'm not showing the board hang on. Let me share the screen.

B

Okay, that was embarrassing. The review board 31 on categorized. As of this morning, we clear this up every single day uh in the the dows. We have three that need to be categorized. We have 22 in a backlog that need to be evaluated, the need infos. There are 37 here we can't move those along without, um without the other doubt the people who submitted being able to say okay, yeah, here's the info you requested, um so that's kind of how that works, and it goes through goes through a process.

B

The goal for april is to get this down to proposal plus seven days to be able to say yes or no on the funding. That's the goal, it's ambitious, because we have a lot to go through and a lot of the a lot of the the constraint is on that need info category when we're asking people to fit into the guidelines all right. uh Moving on.

B

Let's talk about the minimally viable dow and the 50k funding, so this one is a little tough, because I really um I want to see as many dows funded and bootstrapped and launched as possible. There is a long conversation that I had with stephen last week two weeks ago about how we can possibly do this at scale.

B

Obviously, if we're going to ten thousand dows, we cannot fund ten thousand dollars at a million dollars a dow. We can't even fund ten thousand dollars at seventy five thousand dollars a doubt. We can't fund ten thousand dollars at fifty thousand dollars a dow, and so what we're trying to figure out is okay. How can we get?

B

What can we do to incentivize dow creation that hasn't that doesn't have anything to do with us paying for vanity metrics um and that's where the minimally viable dow comes in and that's where the 50k comes in right now, the minimally viable dow we are trying to to see what are the core three things that a dao would need to do, um and- and I've talked about this- I don't know how many times a day of shared interest, shared responsibilities shared.

B

So when it comes to shared interest, we think that a very easy way to categorize, whether or not you have a shared interest is whether or not all these members have. This have a dow mft. I have a social token for lack of a better term. Basically, the idea is it's my it's my costco card. You know I. I can show that I'm a member of costco by showing my costco card really simple and straightforward, so we think about making sure that they have that component for the shared interest.

B

The next thing is the shared responsibility, and from this um we think that it's really important to show voting as the evidence of shared responsibility.

B

um So we, you know, we've talked about the nine signatories a lot and yet I'm using a different term now than governors I'm using signatories, because I want to start moving us to the idea of what does this individual do and I think, it's more appropriate to say they're signatories rather than governors, because I think that in your mind, creates the initiative that says: oh, no, no, no, everybody is responsible for the success and the failure of the doubt not just these nine people who sign transactions.

B

So we have nine signatories out of a pool of 12 individuals that get voted on by over a hundred people. We think that that is a good representation for saying shared responsibility, because it's clear that there's a community there there's a challenge of okay 100 people. What that's a lot, because right now we're only dealing with 20. we'll get there. We think it's important to build that community to that size. As a reminder, one individual can be part, a community member in as many dows as they find common ground with common shared interest.

B

So, for example, I know that jimbo is a very, very engaged individual in the community in harmony. I cannot say enough good things about the work he does and the passion he has for the project, but he is totally empowered to be able to be in the validator dow in the community dao in the developer, dao in the botswana dao in the underwater basket, weaving dao, if he's, if, if botswana is a regional, dao and he's in that region, but the point is, is one person can be members of multiple dows?

B

um So so so there's that uh and then the last piece shared you know, interest shared responsibility, shared assets, assets are really straightforward. It's your multisig, that's a very easy way to show that you're sharing your assets in common. I want to reiterate this: no transactions, no currency should leave a multi-thing for a dow without a community vote saying yes, this is what we want to do with our shared assets. Otherwise, they're not shared um and again the signatories are the ones who are responsible for enforcing them. Okay, I'm gonna stop there and I wanna.

B

I know that we're at the top of the hour, um so we've done 45 minutes of conversation. I want to give us 15 minutes here where we can do some questions and answers. um Let me, let's see there was a question. I know.

B

uh Let's see that albert tracker had, I think he had it about uh the coordinate, so I will pause and he is oh yeah albert's on so albert. You can unmute yourself and ask your question or you can type it into the chat.

B

Jimbo good call bud all right, I'm actually going to read this. This quote out from jimbo and and anybody else who has questions feel free to tee them up. So jimbo says that is the culture change the dows need. The governorship model, in my opinion, should cease once the framework is built, and I agree with you. I think that you know you know getting. The dow started usually does require. You know some blood, sweat and tears.

B

Once it's started once it's rolling, those governors should no longer exist. They should just be signatories. The the the responsibility of running the dow is on the hands of the members of the doubt.

B

So all right, um any other questions. Let's see, oh, uh stick, redo ben! You got a question. I assume it's been. Sometimes it's not been. Sometimes it's somebody else.

G

No, it's benjamin hi there, um just a quick, this notion, tooling page. Is it maybe possible to have the access there for governors as a commenter, so we maybe can even give directly feedback in there.

B

There is, uh there is a discussion thread on top harmony.1 um that rachel posted about getting uh additional feedback on these various different tools. um Thank you, rachel. She dropped.

A

B

Into the chat, um so there's a discussion page where all the governors, everybody can put comments about anything so perfect, yeah.

F

I was actually just going to read out a couple of these talking points. That's.

B

Okay, sam yeah, just as long as you're quick and we don't step on the q a time for for our community.

F

Okay, so number one: what's the top of your priorities, the top of your priorities when it comes to dow tooling, do you have any pain points that you wish for us to address where a tool or application will help you along the way? And the last question is: have you used any tools, or are you currently using any tools that you wish for us to specifically evaluate or avoid altogether?

F

So those are the only talking points that they have.

B

There you go so now you can see this is again on on top harmony.one.

B

um We have been compiling lists of dow tools, because a lot of things do exist in the market already that we just need to bring over to harmony, um and so, if there's something that you guys see they're like oh, this is brilliant. This is so much better than whatever rachel you know is excited about today, um then, please, let us know um we're more than happy to to prioritize it.

B

All right, let's see any other questions, uh let's see mikey, do you have any questions for me? um Oh uh uh collab land is on the list. uh Stake redo. um Let's see, let me uh ch so ben just asked me to make sure that stake redo was or clapland was on the list. um I just want to show really quickly the dow tool targeting list, so this is one that I put together way early on lab, and so we have it right here as a target. Also in the pipeline.

B

I'm pretty sure it's here as well.

B

So there it is so as you, so just so. You guys understand a little bit. What these icons mean, the magnifying glass is to get more, do more research on it. If it is a easter island head because easter is in april, so the target is: is we're going to launch it in april? If it is a four-leaf clover, that's for march, because you know saint patty's day so there you go there and then, um if it is a flower, it's for may, because april showers bring may flowers right devin.

B

I know you're the one who did this you're really excited about that devon is creative and then the question mark has to do with. We know we're working with them. We know we've had conversations, we don't have enough clarity about them yet to predict when they'll go live, and so it's like okay colony, is it going to be happening in april? Probably not, may we don't know yet june, who knows, and so we're working with them, but it's it's uh still a little bit um nebulous.

B

So that should help you guys a little bit all right.

C

um Let's see, I do actually want to say just one thing: real quick um just so everybody here knows me and sam are currently working on a quarter. One dow report was just going to show all the funding that's been sent from the harmony foundation to bootstrap dials uh in quarter, one specifically, um and it's going to include the dows that were approved funding.

C

You can expect that at the end of quarterly it's gonna be a it's gonna, be a really nice sort of information that I'm very excited about yeah, and then um I guess just I do have one question sam: when can we expect the mvd.

B

Yeah yeah, that's a good question. Mikey! Thank you. um So the quick answer on the mvd is, I was trying to get it done by last friday. I I wasn't able to finish it. um The my goal is to have it done of course, this week. That being said, we are at the game developer conference all week, so I'm going to be slightly distracted with with that, um but I I do want that mvd, that that publication about how that works, how that'll be funded um to go live later this week.

B

The other thing is- and this is one thing that I want to make very very clear to our entire audience. What I want to do is before I publish that I want to run the budget, the projections, the financing through lee and through steven, so that there's no question that says when a dow hits this milestone.

B

They get this chunk of change. There's no question about it at all. I I want to make sure that there's there's no blockers to funding once we publish those guidelines. The other thing I wanted to flag really quickly- and this will be the last thing kind of what we talk about.

B

Let's see, oh, let's see you uh the the the dow report for q1. This is one of the things that I have been trying to work on with all of our dows. um It's actually one of the requirements for uh the operational grant which, by the way, those are going to be revised, but the the operational grant requires a report to be issued by the dao about what they've done.

B

This goes into the shared assets. Category of what is a doubt, part of the shared assets, is the fact that you are you share all of your information. All of the dow members know exactly what the dao has been doing, and this is how you do it by by radical transparency and radical accountability that you have. Okay, we had income from these five sources. We had expenses that went out to a b and c those expenses specifically tied to our mandate, 1 or mandate, 2 or mandate 3 and drove the metric.

B

The success metric of a b or c right so that any member of the dow and anybody who looks at the dao is able to very clearly see what it is you're doing and and and how you're being responsible and how you're being a good steward over the dao's communal and shared assets. That's what the dow the q1 report is going to show that we also want to show that we're being good stewards and what's happening granted.

B

The q1 report may be a little bit rough as we go every quarter that q1 that quarterly report will get better and better and better um so that you guys can have greater and greater visibility into how dows work all right. I'm gonna pause there. um If there's nothing else, I'm gonna give you guys back seven minutes of the schedule for this morning, um devon any last words. My friend.

A

No none just looking forward to uh hearing from you guys what dao tools that you that you're excited to either use uh tell us about um introduce us to, uh for instance, miguel. Thank you very much for introducing us to charm bursts. um That was a awesome introduction, so um yeah.

B

Definitely rach any last words from you, my friend.

F

I I also just wanted to give miguel a little shout out because he has been showing up and killing it and working really hard. And um aside from from.

A

F

A

On a training call for ambassadors.

F

Today so uh thank you, mcgill for just showing up and helping me so much because it's allowing me to have more time to focus on dow operations and dow tooling now, so thank you.

B

Appreciate rachel mike mikey, is there anything you want to say about miguel.

C

We share the same name.

G

Just in different languages.

C

In different languages,.

B

No miguel is great. He is a huge. He is a huge value-add. Go ahead. Mikey.

C

I want to shout out um the regional valves they've been, in my opinion, some of the top performing dowels, especially just because they have very clearly defined deliverables, yeah deliverables that are freely defined by metrics that they can accomplish, and um I just want to give them a massive shout out, because every single one is just absolutely killing it and that's not to take away from the core dials or anything else, because they're also doing very different things very different.

B

um So no mikey, I think, you're 100 correct. I think this also shows the importance of a shared interest for dao, um because the regional dow is, you can't have a more shared interest than the fact hey. I live in palo alto. I want to meet with other people in palo alto. I want to do stuff with these people and like it's very clear that that interest is aligned. um Okay, uh the last thing I'm gonna read and I'm gonna, let you guys go is from jimbo.

B

If you wanted to build a high level, dow tool which current dao tool team, would you approach to build your idea uh so jimbo to answer that question? I don't know if this is good or not. um So I talked to the bridge builders dow, and I also talked to the sustainable development dao about helping to build one reputation colin from the sustainable development. Dao jumped all over it. He was like I'm in I mean I mean this is awesome and we had two or three different white boarding sessions.

B

um So I really appreciate the work that he's done, although I think I owe him a response um from last friday. Maybe last thursday, maybe last wednesday shoot con. I'm sorry! That's sorry! I'm delaying your deliverable because I can't get my stuff together um anyway, so there you guys go. Thank you all for joining the the dow operations call this morning um for the people that we we sent out. The invitation for this will happen every tuesday morning as an open kind of dow governors um for those of you who are watching us on youtube.

B

Pl, please like and subscribe and and smash that a little. No, I'm sorry, that's horrible! um If you are a doubt governor, please send your uh email address to rachel um and she will include it in in the meeting. Update and you'll be able to join us as well for the next one again, thank you values all very, very much from the harmony garage from the dow operations tool have a fantastic week and get out there and build.
