PUSH Weekly Governance Call Recap Thread

Governance Call - 21st February 2024

We want to thank everyone for the turnout in this week’s governance call. We hope that participation from the community in governance activities and ceremonies continues to increase :rocket::purple_heart:

The first topic on the agenda was the Business Development subDAO:

  • @SixtyKeys provided some updates on the BD subDAO. We are currently in the process of co-designing a formal proposal for the BD subDAO and we have a working group on telegram which is open for anyone to join and get involved in this process.
  • We looked at some of the major highlights of the draft proposal including the specifications for the BD subDAO program, the proposed budget, goals of the program, and the establishment of a BD subDAO Working Group which will be responsible for coordinating the activities of the BD subDAO.
  • In this initial iteration, a member of the Push core team will have a seat on the BD subDAO WG in an advisory role. As with other upcoming programs of Push DAO, the end goal is to have a fully decentralized and community-owned program.

Next, we provided updates on the Push DAO Development and Growth SubDAO:

  • The DDG subDAO seeks to establish a group responsible for organizing and incentivizing the ideation and execution of DAO growth experiments, drive Push adoption and culture and set the groundwork for the next chapter of the continued evolution of Push DAO.
  • The DDG subDAO will aim to drive contributions in areas such as governance, community, business development and tokenomics/treasury management.
  • We welcome further ideas, voices and discussions around the DDG subDAO from members of the community. If you are interested please join the conversation on the Forum :speaking_head:

Our next discussion was on the Push Grants Program v3 (PGPv3):

  • The proposal for PGPv3 has already been successfully passed via a governance vote on the Push Snapshot and nominations for the Grants Council have been completed.
  • Last week, we held a pitch session for the nominees on Push Discord, where each nominee told us more about their background and goals for PGPv3. The nominees are @ChristianDike, @SixtyKeys @jengajojo, @emixprime and @Rene . You can learn more about their background and skills here.
  • An election will soon be posted on Push Snapshot for members to select two members of the Grants Council from the nominees, to serve in the capacity of Push Grants Lead and Push Grants Evaluator respectively.

We wrapped up by having a discussion on the Push DAO Roadmap for 2024:

  • We plan to have 2 community-run DAO programs (BD subDAO and PGPv3) running concurrently starting from Q2 2024 (April - June), as we believe both programs will complement each other nicely.
  • PushDAO will continue to look for ways to support the mission of Push Protocol as the communication layer for web3. The goal of PGPv3 will be to grow the number of integrations of Push Protocol, while the BD subDAO will focus on spreading awareness of Push Protocol and its different products :chart_with_upwards_trend::muscle:

:bell: See you next week Push Fam!
