Perfect!! That clears things up. Thanks very much.

This is an interesting one. Perhaps the corporate equivalent is the HIPPO (Highest Paid Persons Opinion) or the ‘Person with the loudest voice’.
When you allow people with ‘power’ (either natural or elected) to share their opinions and thoughts without first considering the timing of what is being shared, naturally (but not necessarily for the better) people will follow. This is potentially a risky precedent, as it could result in the development of an echo-chamber.
I would advocate for the importance of building a framework which encourages ‘diversity of thought’ from a broad spectrum of stakeholders as a starting point…then, through discussion and collaboration the vetting of ideas.
Giving a platform to the HIPPO or person with the loudest voice from the onset is likely to cripple creativity and engagement.
PS - There are plenty of Design Thinking frameworks which can support the above position. More than happy to share further info if there is value in doing so.

Please do. Any framework is superior to copying IRL political systems.
Essentially these 36 methods all sit within what’s called the Double Diamond. The idea being that methods can be ‘stitched’ together to support whatever outcome is being worked towards.
For example, let’s say the Facilitators are helping with this item - ‘Coordinating with authors to move AIPs through the pipeline and informing the community of these updates according to DAO approved guidelines.’
Rather than simply rely on the author to write-up a proposal and hope for the best, various methods could be used to produce what would ideally be a more robust solution, in this case a proposal which has been authored from the community.
Supplementing the existing forum for discussions, leveraging tools like digital whiteboards would allow more visual communication and collaboration. Historically I’ve found these methods and digital whiteboards to be incredibly beneficial when it comes to many of the Understanding and Making items.
There is a lot of detail behind the adoption and successful application of each method, more than happy to share.

imho by nature of being a facilitator, and becoming a trusted face, all opinions on AIPs become conflicts of interest. The only opinion a discourse facilitator (or anyone affiliated with the foundation/etc.) should have is whether an AIP/post aligns with existing, clearly-stated guidelines and then referencing those guidelines. Otherwise it should be “Not sure, specific rules on this aren’t defined” and encouraging others to discuss/define rules.
This complete loss of personal opinion is imperative to the position, imho. They can still vote on AIPs, though, so someone can look up their voting history and sort of know post-fact which they liked and which they didn’t.

Very well said!
I think a mod could still express themself even after being part of the team
Appreciate you sharing this.
Currently the Discourse Facilitators role is to move AIPs through the governance process and ensure they meet the established guidelines prior to being sent to SC for a final review. This requires impartiality to avoid appearance of bias towards one author or another.
I would however love to see this type of design thinking applied in AIP workshops to help surface more well developed AIP ideas where authors so desire. The lack of the ability to iterate is one of the biggest hurdles in the current AIP process as it stands. This technique that could be utilized by working groups where those with domain-expertise and casual interest will be able to co-exist and collaborate.

No worries. I love these types of applications of design thinking and do it as part of my IRL gig with various corporates. Would be great to see if we can find opportunities to put it into practice with AIP workshops.

I realize that this is from the original dates from time of writing, but considering this timeline is almost certainly inaccurate (as the AIP approval would literally be a week from today, yet it won’t even be up for vote this week), we might consider editing the presently stated timeline here.
