CCC3 Kick off
Overview
This post is meant to both provide some context for the Co-Creation Cycle #3 (CCC3) kicking off today, July 16th, and to outline the ways that people can get involved (especially if you have to miss any specific synchronous session).
If you’re new to Scroll DAO or the CCC process, check out this post above for some general context on what Co-Creation Cycles are, what the previous ones were focused on, and why we do them.
CCC3 Desired Outcomes and Metrics
These were the desired outcomes and metrics from the posted linked above.
The desired outcomes for CCC3 are as follows:
- Have an organization design that the Foundation and DAO will put in place in the months following CCC3.
- Produce an initial or revised set of metrics for each council.
Metrics
- Are there clearly outlined councils for each of the three priority areas for the DAO (Ecosystem Growth, Global Community, Governance Iterations)?
- Has a new council been proposed to address general accountability in the DAO?
- Have any streams of work been identified that are not currently being addressed?
Context for the Kickoff
The ultimate goal of this exercise is to outline an initial structure for the DAO, including responsibilities and metrics. As such, we think it’s important to re-state some of the overall priorities from Scroll entitites.
Open Economy
The open economy is, at the end of the day, about creating an environment and culture focused on:
- Ease of Business: An ecosystem that streamlines processes, enabling founders to launch impactful projects with minimal friction.
- Upward Mobility: Providing equal opportunities for growth, where individuals and projects can rapidly ascend and achieve success.
- Secure Infrastructure: Offering a robust and reliable platform that ensures the safety and integrity of all transactions and assets.
- Cultural Richness: Celebrating diversity and fostering a vibrant community where various cultures and ideas intersect to spark innovation.
- Appreciating Value: An environment where investments and contributions grow in value.
You can check out the site or twitter to get a bit more feel of the Open Economy that is being seeded.
Founder First
As Scroll goes about laying the foundations for the Open Economy, the way to get there centers around founders. Up Labs is centering their growth strategy around identifying key Scroll-first founders who are able to help nurture the network usage and culture that is needed to build the Open Economy.
In addition to identifying and supporting founders directly, there is an effort to build out additional structures to ensure the founders’ succeess. These include things such as:
- Scroll FC (Founders Club) - a community built for and by the key founders around the Scroll ecosystem
- Ecosystem support - building out the structures and processes to systematically provide more support than pure financial (helping projects with distribution, or finding product market fit, or connecting with relevant mentors, etc.)
This latter area of ecosystem support will be one that will definitely intersect with the DAO, thanks to the security related proposal we will have more direct support structures for founders eminating from the DAO.
If you want to get a deeper refresher, feel free to check out the previous calls with Raza and/or Emily.
Please keep these elements in mind as we work towards defining the activities that make most sense for the DAO.
CCC3 Process
A. Kickoff July 16th
Two governance calls that day will include at least 20 minutes dedicated to starting the Co-Creation Cycle.
This kickoff call has two goals:
- Provide the general background context on Scroll in terms of vision and strategy that can help people during CCC3, and
- Give a chance for the Harmonica team to present the tool we’ll be using during the CCC3, including a short demo.
We will upload links from the calls once they’re available here.
B. Harmonica Session #1
This session will center around what is being done within the DAO and what we should be doing at the DAO. This is meant to be the first towards defining the org structure of the DAO.
Submission deadline: Saturday July 19th at Midnight UTC.
Please use this link to access Harmonica Session #1.
C. Mon July 21st Workshops
We will have two identical sessions on Monday July 21st - one at 7:30a EST/UTC-5 and the other at 1:00p EST/UTC-5. These workshops will be between 60-90 minutes and will focus on a Miro board session with the inputs from Harmonica Session #1.
The things being done and to be done will be put into a board to see if we’re missing anything and to start getting a sense of which have more consensus around them.
The goal of these workshops are to have a clear sense of the work being done to set us up for the next part, and will be paired with one more Harmonica session to capture the relevant info before moving on to clustering work.
This is the Miro board used during that workshop.
D. Harmonica Session #2 (Tue July 22nd - Thu July 24th)
Harmonica Session #2 will focus on the question of, “Given the tensions identified in Session 1, what are your convictions and trade-offs?” There will also be elements of scrutinizing existing outcomes that emerged in the workshops on July 21st.
This will supplement the workshops from July 21 (C.) to help start clustering and designing the specific councils or working groups.
Submission deadline: Thu July 24th Midnight UTC
Please use this link to access Harmonica Session #2. [to be updated as soon as it’s ready]
E. Wed July 23rd Weekly Gov Calls
On July 23rd, there will be the usual two daily calls (meant to be repeats for timezone accessibility). Roughly half of each call will be dedicated to reviewing the progress in CCC3 and addressing an challenges or questions arising.
G. Mon July 28th Workshops
These workshops will be focused on interacting with the the inputs from Harmonica Sessions #2 & #3 to work towards the initial set of councils and working groups to prioritize, as well as an initial sketch of metrics for each council and working group.
There are two potential activities after this that will be decided closer to the end of the process depending on the progress.
- There may be one more additional Harmonica session on the metrics if we did not get to spend enough time on it or get into the required depth during the July 28th workshops.
- A snapshot style vote to get a clear sense of which councils to prioritize.
What Happens Next?
Once we have gone through the outlined sessions, the governance team will work to produce a forum post outlining which proposals the community can expect shortly. This post will be produced by August 1st and will be drafted and added to the forum by August 15th to provide enough time for feedback and revision ahead of the September 1st voting cycle.
