Description

The objective of this proposal is to transition the moderation role within these two options: 1) DAO Committee or 2) Moderation team hired through bidding and tendering. The objective is to renew this essential role and open a new chapter based on our frameworks and learnings. As we previously stated, Facilitation Squad will continue to be committed and manage moderation during the grant period, but will also lead and coordinate a process for appointing a new moderation team based on community consultation in the short term. Looking towards to evolve into a more cohesive and active community we believe it’s time to re-think some of the key roles within the DAO while keeping a welcoming and safe environment that brings the best out of all members. In that spirit, we are proposing a new strategy for moderation. Over the past year, many efforts have been done towards this end, being the Code of Ethics our most tangible outcome. The CoE sets the bar for how we want to address our disputes and the minimum level of respect required to jump into any debate. This is not capricious, it’s a statement of core principles that we stand for and that require monitoring and gatekeeping. That’s why we are proposing to open the moderation role and transition this vital position to the most apt and willing in order to renew energies and bring fresh air and ideas. We are confident in saying that we are down the right path and hoping that the feeling of a more tolerant environment is shared. **VOTING OPTIONS** To that end we are proposing two options to accomplish this transition: 1) Creating a Moderation Committee: would include establishing eligibility criteria, framework, compensations and SOW for a 3 people committee elected within a three-staged process: an open call, interviews conducted by the current moderation team, and a final voting using the hiring category. 2) Bidding and Tendering process for a moderation team: would include open bids for an internal or external moderation team and define a SOW and SLA for operating.
