This Workgroup focuses on topics around Governance systems and processes at the SingularityNET Ambassadors program
In the Meetings on October 17th and October 24th, we discussed and ideated on a process to use the SNET Ambassadors Contribution and Treasury systems to define an onchain voting system based on a "one-person-one-vote" test vote on the Cardano Blockchain:
More information at: Meeting Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h_KtaPZxV977x3Mxa7T4ta-ivcxXbgmOYetAT3seDw8/edit?usp=sharing
This process outlines a first PoC of one-person-one-vote decision making process within the SingularityNET Ambassadors program.
How it actually works
1) Ambassador Program participants contribute 2) Contributions are tracked via Dework/GitHub tasks 3) Contribution tasks are uploaded into treasury system 4) Treasury system transforms participations into onchain data (Transactions)
This process allows us to “validate” individual contributors over an open-ended time frame and the longer an contributor engages, the stronger his identity gets. This finally introduces a process which is able to replace a KYC process, bootstrapping a new way of “Proof Of Livelihood” while in the meantime ensuring a high level of anonymity as the only identifiers used are a Discord handle and a Wallet Address on the Cardano Blockchain. As this process provides a verifiable list of contributors, each linked to one specific wallet, we have plenty of interesting opportunities to pilot decision making processes based on “one-person-one-vote” at a Blockchain protocol level.
To achieve the “one-person-one-vote”, we whitelist the program's contributors, generate a list of eligible wallets and send one voting token to each contributor. In this first pilot, we will use the Voteaire Platform, which allows voting processes on the Cardano Blockchain.
(There are multiple other platforms and solutions to run an on-chain voting process on the Cardano Blockchain; we use Voteaire due to its easy interface)
The Voting Ballot will allow only holders of the Voting token to cast their votes, through the policy id of the token.
At this first pilot, we defined some very simple parameters on how to “select” eligible voters. These soft parameters can be easily changed and adjusted in further initiatives.
Individuals are eligible if: - Minimum 5hrs tracked contribution in the Program - Active for a minimum of 6 months in the Program
Token policy id - 3bbbc9facd9611c1f72521245c2ef3e72e6d580b11ad767a6584d045 (edited) Token fingerprint - asset1eg7jp22f7qtczjj2da9nk65g6f49qkqtll93ku Token Name: SNet test token Token Amount: 51
What do we want to measure Voting participation % (51 Total eligible voters)
Bootstrap the PoC as a initial test vote
Define voting start and end dates
Create Voting Guide material
Set up voting ballot on Voteaire
Announce voting at Ambassador Town Hall, 31st Oct
Send voting test token to contributors

New Onboarding email Video of the 7th Sept Onboarding meeting Whether the Onboarding WG should be presented as a “1st port of call” for new people Q4 budget and costing our work The value of hidden work The importance of 1-2-1 engagement work, of the kind that Sucre does The problem of people doing tasks for rewards only Flat rate payments, vs payment per engagement, vs payment per task, vs payment per hour
new Onboarding email https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dFfexScth-EyoKW1dhoCrsAz53E131YGXJykDPB-aBE/edit?usp=sharing - Step 2 should not be “attend all meetings” - instead, highlight a) Ambassadors TH, and b) Onboarding WG. Rationale - New people might have opinions on onboarding, and might find it easy to engage in the WG.
We will pay people to comment in discussion docs: $10 per doc that you contribute to (not per contribution). At the end of the quarter, assess whether people are commenting purely for the reward.
$200 per month to Sucre for direct onboarding work, (DMs, explaining things individually). Rationale: we recognised the value of this mostly-invisible work - 2 people in the meeting said how much it had helped them. Without it, people often don’t get properly onboarded.
Sucre to tweak Onboarding email and send out by next week
Vani to meet LadyTempestt and LordKizzy re: meeting documentation by next week
All to try to attend Treasury meeting later today
Payment-per-contribution may cause people to add low-value input purely to get the reward. But worth the risk, to avoid micromanagement, and minimise overhead in assessing who gets paid.
There is more to pricing a task than how long it takes. Special skills or knowledge; how essential the work is; how demanding it is (e.g. being constantly “on call”) can affect what is a fair price.
1-2-1 onboarding work: long term, Sucre could perhaps train more people to do it, but for now she can manage it.

We will have async voting if we should reward Ambassadors from reserve
Create async voting item to reward from reserves - Tevo 23.10.23
Have a better overview of budget limitations avoid undoing decisions There are several async activities that ambassadors do but are not recognized
We should not use collected data as projections for each workgroup
Each workgroup updates finalizes their workgroup budget - Workgroup leads 02.11.23
Expect Workgroups to have some idea of budget projections
Add a reserve budget line to live dashboard - Andre 02.11.23 Include workgroup budget projections into dashboard - Tevo, Andre See what I could do to differentiate one off payments in Power BI - Tevo 02.11.23 Create extra columns to see workgroup average spending and range of spending - Tevo, Andre 02.11.23
from our first experiment we most likely wont get any meaningful trends from data

- Substack Newsletter - Looking forward into the month of November - Zealy update - General
The writer’s work group session kicked off very strong as Kenichi introduced the newest set of Scribblers — congratulations to Judith Williams and Emmanuel Issac for achieving this milestone; they are now a full-blown Scribbler as they can now pick up tasks on Dework board. Kenichi also added that all the Scribblers should fill out the Scribbler onboarding form https://tinyurl.com/4zpyxatz to enable us to grow exponentially.
The idea of the Substack Newsletter was raised by Kenichi. According to him, our focus is to swiftly send out monthly updates covering everything around the Ambassador program. The aim of disbursing these newsletters is to keep everyone informed and updated on upcoming events likely to occur in the following months.
Peter raised comments about the Substack newsletter and he concluded that the idea should be implemented.
[action] Following that, Kenichi added that he would create a dework task for the Substack newsletter — everyone should be on the lookout.
November still has a lot more in the bag for Scribblers!
Firstly, the need for October templates has arisen. There will be specific tasks covering that aspect plus, while setting up the writers' work group Substack page, atomic essays would be going out too.
For the sake of clarity, Kenichi briefly explained what an atomic essay is all about — according to him, these essays are write-ups of around 200–400 words. They will contain relevant links with at least 1–2 minute reads. The atomic essays would also be accompanied by infographics and thankfully, some scribblers showed interest.
Kenichi also raised comments regarding ELI5 articles; they will be written as Twitter threads in simple English so everyone can understand (there will also be infographic designs for this task). Scribblers should keep an eye on the Dework task board.
We know that community engagement and growth have been at the forefront of the writers' work group. We want to see the SingularityNET Ambassador program grow exponentially. To this effect, we saw that Zealy would be an effective tool. With Zealy, we could get more engagements for our Twitter, Medium, and also Discord. With the help of contests, surveys, and quizzes (web3 niches) we would be able to push new engagements that will bootstrap the SingularityNET Ambassador program.
Should in case you have any idea on how this milestone can be reached, kindly reach out to Kenichi — your ideas and suggestions will be welcomed with open arms.
And that brings us to:
Kenichi expressed his joy and commended everyone on the call for the support shown on the Ambassadors' Medium account. He said that there has been a big difference from when we started until now; currently, we have 38 subscribers and we’re looking to amass over 60 subscribers by the end of this quarter.
Mikasa suggested that members of the workgroup should also pay attention to the Medium publications; each member is advised to read these articles and give at least 30 claps after reading, as this act could trigger the medium algorithm and SNET would reach more audiences.
We also had our editing setting session where Scribbers read and edit an article for better clarification.

Malik and Slate led the Gamers Guild meeting on 21/10/23. The atmosphere was cheerful, and it included an experimental trivia session.
Malik began by announcing the game to be played, which was Land IO and also announced the trivia session. He provided background information about the game and explained its rules and ranking method.
The game session consisted of three rounds of Land IO, each lasting 3 minutes. At the end of each round, a leaderboard was concluded, and points were awarded to the top 3 participants (1st place: 4 points, 2nd place: 3 points, 3rd place: 2 points).
Slate guided everyone in playing the game, and the members were divided into private game sections to start playing.
The winners of the three Land IO rounds were:
1st Round: Devon Hardy
2nd Round: Hufiumer69
3rd Round: Hufiumer69
Cheerful, Experimental, Trivia, Deepfunding, SingularityNET
