3.1 - Workflow, Performance, Challenged & Thinking

  • @freakstatic_council
    • Nothing much happened this council round....
    • The council secretary was hired in the middle of the round (we probably should avoid this) I had to step in and apply myself to fill this role. Without @tomato on the council all the others members were probably afraid of step in. I think this is normal since this job as some responsibilities and good knowledge of the platform/community is required. @tomato has previous created some docs about this role which helps a lot and he also reminder me of some important things during the council round. Thanks! :)
    • By looking at the Storage Status Reporting I notice that one storage providers seems to be down some days now. This is his URL: https://joystreamnode1.cloudstorey.in/storage
    • I'm checking this situation now... The next council should probably make sure that this situation has been resolved.
    • The Community Bounty #3 is assigned to @l1dev, his made some improvements in the Telegram bot code but still hasn't submitted any "Success events" until now.

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 Items can be removed from here once they have been resolved or become outdated.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

  • Council Roles
    • Council Secretary
      • This role was introduced in Council Round #18 and the current payment is 2 million tokens per council round

    • 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.
