(Note: The council budget is a work in progress and is a non-binding proposal, at this stage it can be used to simply begin the development of a working budget for the council.

3 - Review

3.1 - Workflow, Performance, Challenged & Thinking

  • @tomato
    • This council round went ok, but there was an issue with a storage mint proposal (https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/73) that never received enough votes and expired due to a lack of votes. I think this is partly down to a lack of voter activity but also due to some UI/UX issues, I created a github issue with some potential improvements: https://github.com/Joystream/joystream/issues/1244
    • We also failed KPI 15.5 as the documents weren't completed in time, the two proposals I made for discussion (76+77) sadly didn't get any feedback from users. I think this is down to not having enough factual information for people to comment on. Hopefully we can progressively begin to implement better reporting systems for WGs and this will help with doing feedback.

4 - Obligations

Council obligations are payments or items that carry through council sessions. These are noted so that future councils can easily see what items they should be aware of. Items can be removed from here once they have been resolved or become outdated.

4.1 Current Documents / Processes

  • Council Report
    • Each council should produce a report which highlights important events, council participation, mint spending and other important facts surrounding the council term
  • Council Budget
    • This is a proposal which tries to guide how many tokens the current council may have available to it during a term. This is a non binding proposal, so is mainly used as a guide for now.

4.2 Documents WIP

  • Tokenomics Reports
    • This is a periodic report which should be produced after each council round has concluded. It should serve as a tool to see the overall economics of the platform.
  • Working Group Evaluations
    • This was introduced in KPI 15.5 and should serve as a way of evaluting the working groups, so far it hasn't been produced fully.

4.2 Regular Payments / Proposals

  • Council Mint
    • The council mint needs to be checked on a regular basis and in the event it is near depletion, a council member should notify a member of Jsgenesis in order for it to be refilled.
    • The council mint is set at a value decided by Jsgenesis.
  • Council Roles
    • Council Secretary
      • This role was introduced in Council Round #18 and the current payment is 2 million tokens per council round
  • Content Curator Mint
    • The Content Curator Mint currently has a maximum value of 1 million tokens.
    • The Content Curator Mint has to be filled periodically and the agreed amount was discussed earlier. The amount may change in the future, but the rewards for this role are dependent on the council passing these proposals in a timely fashion.
    • The Content Curator Lead role is expected to keep track of their mint level and any member of the Joystream platform can create a proposal to refill this mint.
  • Storage Mint
    • The Storage Mint currently has a maximum value of 1 million tokens.
    • This mint has be refilled periodically
    • The Storage Lead role is expected to keep track of their mint level and any member of the Joystream platform can create a proposal to refill this mint.
