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.
Thank you @Waabam for your ideas and the ApeCoin DAO community for the thoughtful discussions. A moderator will get in touch with the author to draft the AIP in the appropriate template. Once the AIP is drafted and meets all the DAO-approved guidelines, the proposal will be posted on Snapshot for live official voting at: Snapshot

The AIP implementation is administered by the Ape Foundation. Implementation may be immaterially or materially altered to optimize for security, usability, to protect APE holders, and otherwise to effect the intent of the AIP.
