Governance Initiatives
- The Governance Committee is focused on stewarding the 2024 Org proposals through the November cycle.
- We are in the process of finalizing a Radworks Decision Making Mapping with Apiary. The goal is to use this mapping of what decisions are made where within Radworks and ask the community what they would change (if anything) and in what decisions would they like to have more influence. We want to do conduct a few 1:1 sessions with some community stakeholders before sharing publicly in January 2024.
- Abbey and I have scoped an in-depth Voting Analysis project to complete before the end of the year. Results will include an assessment of voting and delegation trends, attack threat analysis, and updated graphics showing updated token allocation & supply. We plan to execute this work with the help of the GovAlpha team.
- We have also scoped “Distribution of Influence” project that aims to improve the resiliency of the Radworks governance system that we want to start tackling in Q1/Q2 2024. The purpose of this project is to substantially increase token-holder diversity, influence & power distribution, and voter participation by Q4 2024.
