3.1 - Workflow, Performance, Challenged & Thinking

  • @freakstatic_council
    • This round was a bit calm comparing with the previous one. We still don't have the bot telegram which we miss so much :/ but it seems it's almost ready. @tomato has made some adjustments to the budget which we were needing, thanks btw! The council approved the values proposed by @tomato. Some problems with the storage providers were reported but @tomato seems to have help fix them
  • @tomato
    • I think the council session went fairly well, its helping a lot that things are getting voted on consistently by the council which is making progress a bit easier. It's still a bit difficult with the small size of the community to get people interested, and it'd be nice to see more involvement from more of the council on issues, but for now things aren't super challenging.
    • I've managed to work on a budget, which has helped make it more obvious how much the council has promised as payments for roles and will hopefully make it easier for us to manage budgeting in the future: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/forum/threads/136
    • We also completed the first spot checks of working groups which showed a big issue with storage providers, so I'm guessing these will become a regular occurrence.
    • One improvement that I think needs to be made, is when tackling issues that we're given with KPIs we have to have deadlines for almost everything, if elected for the next session I'll be working on making sure that almost everything has a deadline attached to it.

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 Items can be removed from here once they have been resolved or become outdated.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.
