[RFC]: Uniswap Community Calls

[BlockworksResearch]

Thank you for the kind words 0xkeyrock.eth rikagoldberg Frisson Dakotah we are looking forward to seeing you on the call! The calls will be recorded as well.

@jengajojo

consider renaming these to Governance calls.

I’d also like to suggest having these calls in the uniswapDAO server

We agree with this sentiment around nomenclature and appreciate the recommendation. The Uniswap community extends beyond governance participants and this specification will help reduce potential confusion around the call. As far as having them in the server, we’d like to start with a google meet format to remove reliance on any party outside of this group, at least to start.

@Kydo

However, do we require a governance proposal for this? I suggest we initiate the monthly call and evaluate its success before making it an official practice.

This post is purely meant to spark a discussion and make community participants aware of the idea. It is not meant to turn into a formal proposal.

• Do you view that there is a single objective associated with these calls or are they framed as an experiment at this stage? (without a single objective it can be hard to measure if they are successful, for example, is high attendance a sign of success, or is detailed conversation the better metric? )

The goals of the call are to discuss proposals and the general direction of the DAO.

@kstone20

• If these are viewed as an experiment, what is the experiment that is being run? Will there be a process for individuals to provide feedback after a certain number of calls?

These calls do not require a traditional experimental framework but qualitative data around the number of participants, topics of discussion, and tools used (eg miro) will be used to iterate for future calls (or potentially make a judgement that the calls are not valuable.)

@kstone20

• Recognizing that there is no gatekeeper for these calls but that there is ‘leadership’ in some sense (for example, the facilitator and the note taker are in positions of power to some degree) how do you think about who sets the agenda, who handles facilitation, and who takes notes? Do you view these roles as rotating?

We are more than happy to facilitate the calls to start. There will be no official notes taker for the first call, but the call will be recorded and we can bring an AI note taker with us. An extremely rough agenda will be created via a shared workspace tool that will allow those who join to choose the agenda.
