Hey @Amplify, thanks again for this, just popped back in for a re-read.
Request: is there any way to add āGreater Metaverseā to the Key Terms section? I have been giving our Mission Statement a bit of thought lately and was thinking of writing a post on it. Defining āGreater Metaverseā as opposed to the āMetaverseā in the abstract might help provide a bit of clarity.
Excited a lot about all of this, i think forming these autonomous WG will provide workforce foundation to the ApeCoin DAO & will act as a catalyst for the future of the org.
Wildly supportive of this proposal as drafted, my core ask for ānext stepsā or āadditional definitionā would be on compensation guidelines or criteria.
How do we reward core contributors? Can we shift toward a model with variable compensation based on performance?
Iām not sure we need to nail down specifics by role, but maybe relative āvalue / compā vs. one another and some key principles of contributor compensation.
Iād be happy to help here 
Is the WGL the Foreman/ForeApe/program manager essentially? Perhaps the DAO secretary can be the WGL, lots of overlap.
Yes, Working Group Leads would essentially lead the working groups in terms of project management and keeping everyone on track.
Love how this is progressing and provides a clear path to operationalization through focused workgroups. Looking forward to next steps and personally would love to help in the Metaverse Working Groupā¦ can see lots of opportunities to expand Apecoin as a currency of culture to further both the Apecoin and BAYC brand but allowing all ships to rise with it as part of a broader connected ecosystem 
Regarding role compensation, I liked both of Gerryās ideas re establishing the basics:
Look forward to further discussion. Also I believe Term 1 requires higher compensation than Term 2 possibly (just a thought), as undoubtedly many many extra hours will be expected and needed while we still in early development stages, so should get paid better to cover this inevitability.
What is certain is that a long way will have been covered since the establishment of the WG0.
Thank you for this clear proposal, which will undoubtedly move the ApeCoin DAO forward faster, while maintaining full transparency and decentralization.
There is a point that deserves to be addressed, it is the notion of contributor, which should already have been clarified following the establishment of Working Group Zero.
Please confirm if Iām not mistaken:
Each group will have 3 Stewards + contributors?
If yes, how many contributors?
If so, how will they be selected?
If so, will their work be compensated in the same way as the Stewards (not at the same level of course) ?
Waiting to read from you, please accept my most sincere congratulations for the work accomplished.
Thank you for your questions @dyorjdr,
Each group will have 3 stewards + contributors, yes. I cannot say how many contributors as Iām not sure and it will definitely depend on the groupās activities.
The Stewards can be thought of as executives responsible for hiring out for their own needs. So to answer how they will be selected, the Stewards will choose who specifically to āhire.ā
That said, there will always be semi-passive and active bounties put up by working group stewards and the Thank Ape initiative that anyone in the DAO can complete to earn $APE on an ad-hoc basis.
We want to avoid creating strict rules around contributors because we recognize Working Group needs will vary, and we have a ton of talent in the community. We want to create an environment where anyone can contribute meaningfully and be compensated and recognized for those contributions.
Absolutely! We are working now on some graphics and explainers in addition to an FAQ for this AIP so itās a lot easier to understand how an idea can evolve into a Workstream with a team and a budget, and also how community members can still be involved without having to be a Steward.
Love the idea to include an FAQ with thisā¦ An awesome concept that would benefit a lot of projects going through the AIP process.
I also really appreciate the efforts youāre all making to get this in front of people on multiple platforms with the ability to not only ask questions, but be part of the conversation on how to dial this in.
Pulling for the squad on this one! Got my votes!!

This is what Iām most excited about, the opportunity to start building.
