What AIPs can a Steward put up independently when they are in a Working Group?
TEAM DESCRIPTION:
@bigbull - FYI. A vote was held by the GWG and the majority of Stewards did not vote for it to be a GWG proposal. Therefore this proposal is being proposed on an individual basis by @bigbull
We have many working groups with specific focus areas. The idea is that if you are in a Working Group and wish to put up a proposal related to that working group. E.g. this proposal is related to Governance, you first have to ask your working group and the Stewards if they wish to be co-authors on the proposal. If the majority of working group stewards refuse to be on the proposal you can still put the proposal up with the disclaimer that the working group has rejected it to be an official working group proposal.
If a working group Steward puts up an AIP on a topic not related to their Working Group, but potentially related to another Working Group, there is no change from the current process and they are not required to ask for approval from the related working group.
This would apply to current (Governance, Marketing and Communications, Metaverse Working and Web3 Development Groups) and any future Working Groups.
BENEFIT TO APECOIN ECOSYSTEM:
Working Group Stewards are working in roles in the DAO and as they are using the title of that role when putting up an AIP it can be confusing for voters. There is an implied endorsement from that working group.
Enhances communication and collaboration amongst working group stewards (within the same working group).
Another point, is that if an AIP is from one Steward, if they leave for whatever reason (personal, don’t get re-elected etc) then the Working Group Organisation, e.g. GWG Non Profit is NOT responsible for it. If it is from the group, then a Steward leaves the Group will need to take over the implementation of it. This is better as we have short terms, 1 to 2 years as Stewards, so it ensures better growth of the Working Groups.
DEFINITIONS:
Working Groups are intentional community led infrastructure, which allow for the execution of DAO-approved mandates. Working Group Charters outline a mandate for a Working Group, which must align with the vision, and values of the ApeCoin DAO.
This would start as soon as the AIP is approved. It would be ongoing until an AIP is passed to replace this AIP.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
How many Working Group AIPs are initiated by each Steward in that Working Group.
Track how many AIPs each working group has put up to vote and how many each group has had pass.
Slack will be used to track the internal votes of the stewards. The Secretary will make a quarterly summary report.
REPORTING EXPECTATIONS:
They would put in the Working Group quarterly reports how many times the WG accepted or rejected their first right of refusal to be the author or co-author (TBC) of AIPs. The Secretary Initiative would be responsible for the KPI updates.
OVERALL COST:
“Total amount requested from the ApeCoin Ecosystem Fund = $0.”
It would require the working groups to keep a log of the accepting or rejecting of the first right of refusal to author an AIP strictly within the core focus of that working group.
The section I’ve attached below is particularly interesting to me, given that I have had an entire proposal copied without consent by a member of my Working Group, with only one minor adjustment being made to the AIP body and title, creating a significant amount of confusion to the reader.
Then after presenting these facts here on the forum, a complaint was filed against me suggesting that I violated an NDA and how my comment should be removed.
So as someone who has had their work stolen and presented in a way that would suggest I either wrote it entirely, or contributed to its writing, on a topic that I was adamantly against, I cannot agree with this AIP, as it not only hinders a person’s ability to propose ideas, but also gives credit to those who may not have contributed to the writing.
Q. Why is Capacity Building important in an organisation?
A. Capacity building is a vital process for organizations seeking to enhance their effectiveness and sustainability. It involves developing skills, knowledge, and abilities across various levels—individual, organizational, and systemic—to achieve strategic goals and improve overall performance.
It enables a smooth transition when elected officials leave, thus enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of a Working Group.
Sorry that you have to deal with such unprofessional behavior my dude. I can see why certain people resigned their working group roles due to interpersonal conflicts with certain individuals.
As BojangleGuy said, “no one wants to be “the rat””. And that, in and of itself, is a serious dereliction of duty due to lack of controls and processes that promote transparency and accountability.
The fine line is that, while they aren’t expected to “air dirty laundry” - especially not on a public forum such as this - unfortunately for them, they are ALL accountable to the DAO community that elected them and pay their salaries. And so, if we in the DAO have questions or concerns they are REQUIRED to comply with them. No exceptions. The reason that they don’t feel that they can be held accountable is because, again, we have no controls or processes in place which promote transparency and accountability in any of the leadership roles.
Unfortunately, I see accountability as a moral / ethical requirement and accountability as a legal requirement to be related but practically unenforceable.
I think that the key difference is between promoting transparency / accountability and requiring transparency / accountability. The former is based in hope, the latter in fact.
The community feedback period for your proposal would be ending in less than 24 hours.
If you’re content with the feedback received, your next steps are to finalize your proposal using the AIP Draft Template.
A moderator will reach out to the author to finalize the AIP Draft. Upon receipt of the final Draft, we will review and provide instructions on the next steps.
Are you ready to proceed to the next phase or do you wish to extend community discussion for another 7 days?
Thank you for your ideas [and the ApeCoin DAO community for the insightful discussions].
A moderator will reach out to the author to finalize the AIP Draft using the appropriate template.
Once the AIP Draft is confirmed by the author and meets all DAO-approved guidelines, it will receive an AIP ID number and move forward for Draft Analysis Review.
@bigbull please see your messages for the next steps.
Follow this Topic as further updates will be posted here in the comments. In accordance with DAO-approved guidelines, if the author does not respond within 30 days, the proposal will be automatically transferred to the Withdrawn category, and the author can re-submit the idea.
