Phase 1 Governance Suggestions - Polling
« on: July 10, 2018, 02:58:55 am »
Introduction

I believe the first step toward community governance revolves around an easy way to conduct polling through the smart wallet.  Polling not only offers direct feedback from the community, but also allows a way for the Divi Team to review community engagement levels.

Direct voting on proposals should be a process reserved in later phases.


Polling Control

I recommend polling events are generated directly from the team. If a community member feels a topic needs to be presented in a poll, we need a process where if there's enough community support, the Divi team could post the poll.
Maybe allow a community poll to execute based on a fee and/or support?


Wallet Notification

Some type of notification that new poll(s) are available


Weighted Polling

Unless we plan on verifying identities, it's too easy for people to create multiple wallets to try to manipulate outcome.  If we aren't verifying identify, I recommend 1 coin = 1 vote


Polling parameters

Items such as description of the poll, team comments, duration etc..


Proxy

If someone doesn't want to participate in polls, however, wants their voice heard by someone they deem better informed, I'd like to see an option for vote proxies.

Example: Johnny2Tall owns 100,000 Divi.  He would have the option to have BillyBlockchain control his 100,000 Divi for 'voting'.  He believe Billy is well informed and would make decisions that benefits the project.


Search

Easy way to search the results of previous polls


Transparency

Would the votes be public? Could an individual toggle public/private vote options?


Conclusion

The goal here is to get community feedback without turning over the keys to governance at phase 1. It doesn't matter how amazing our full governance system works if we're not first able to inspire participation within the community. I feel this is a first step for the team to get the necessary feedback in a transparent way from the community and start looking at ways to improve participation.

soooooo...had a chance to go over this. Regarding polling control - I believe the current plan is to have a fee, but anyone can introduce or bring something to a vote, so it's a true democracy. The hope is that the fee will deter spamming etc, plus there was talk about limiting the number of proposals one can make in a given week, month, year etc. If you have time, check out discord where we have had discussions in the "governance" channel in the past.

I agree with wallet notification and I believe it's planned.

Same with weighted polling, I believe Geoff wrote in said channel that he wants it to be that way.

Proxy is also a good idea. The only thing I disagree with really is I do think anyone should be able to bring anything to a vote, If we see people are abusing it by bringing something like "should I have pizza tonight?" to a vote then maybe we can form a group to review and approve them first, but then that is less decentralized. Hopefully the fee and the limit on proposals takes care of that though. Thanks for all your work!
