Rojo [facilitator], Guillermo [documenter], Ubio, Curtis, Vasu, Duke, WaKa
The overall purpose of the meeting was to go over the new R&D Guild proposal, the new workgroup operations strategy, and fundamentals for the governance system for the guild.
Discussed the difference and definition of Resaerch, Ideation and Development, and the potential scope of the Guild in relation to ambassadors' needs, and how to approach the different guilds and WorkGroups for further actions.
We continued with the discussion that began in the guild Discord chat about the possible segregation or not into two independent bodies, advantages and disadvantages. The members will present their positions and arguments.
WaKa: I envision **Innovation** [ex-Incubation] providing a range of services to other Ambassador units, according to their needs and our capabilities. These will eventually include analysis of wants and needs, identifying processes, features and benefits, crafting designs and executing development, organizing testing, deployment, training, and support. Ambassador program has a very specific charter and a fixed budget, in most ways separate organization from a dozen and a half projects and organizations under the sNET umbrella. To me, a Guild formed within Ambassadors and applying its budget has an obligation to focus on executing a definitive segment of the overall organizational vision and plan. Providing services according to the needs and the timelines of other groups, while tapping into their budgets, is best delivered by a separate unit, perhaps a financially self-sufficient WorkGroup. Without a clear separation, I do not see bringing more external business or recruiting specific skill sets, as those may not align with Ambassadors' mandate and plan."
Rojo: The R&D initiative is funded based on projects according to the sheet we agreed upon. That means that the ambassador program is funding specific projects with clear outcomes and use cases. Any external endowment, if agreed upon, will also be funding a specific project. Therefore, double rewarding for the same work, or making use of ambassador funds for other entities, cannot happen under this paradigm."
Discussed the different governance systems. For the selection of the proposals to be developed according to the available budget, the possibility of involving the different guilds in the selection was discussed, thus establishing a priority according to the needs of the group.
Discussed the possibility of voting among guild members.
[decision] Guild members agreed that it is beneficial for the whole to maintain the unity of the guild and evaluate reincorporating the 'ideation' functionality as a service for the other guilds and workgroups. This completes the circle with the total capacity of Research, Ideation and Development.
[decision] The use of a template for the standardization of the guild’s proposal submission processes was discussed and approved.
[decision] TBD Final schedule and time slot for guilds weekly meeting.
[decision] Next step will be to analyze the team's proposals. To date, we have 10 proposals or ideas in a state of ideation; some of them have the backup of research and a blueprint, and others are just ideas for potential developments that the different members of the team have developed and shared in the initial document that we have reviewed in this session and will share tomorrow with the Treasury Guild.

Kenichi shared his screen for the Scribblers to see the milestones the workgroup has achieved in the last couple of months.
We’re growing indeed and it’s a thing of joy to share it with the Scribblers who have been part of this remarkable journey.
One of the articles that piqued the interest of many individuals is the article written by our very own Mikasa: “AI Cryptography: Enhancing Security and Privacy in the Digital Age."
Good news: our first ever points system will be up and running by the end of this month; scribblers will be rewarded with points as they contribute along the way!
Buildup to the BGI Event is still ongoing. Scribblers are encouraged to tune in; they can also find interesting article suggestions while participating.
Kenichi shared an article suggestion from the CEO of Rejuve.ai, "Using AI and blockchain to target aging", and some interesting updates from Cogito, including a forthcoming Twitter space this Mon 29th Jan with the CEO, Cloris Chen https://twitter.com/CogitoProtocol/status/1750443374304239674
Cjfrankie shared some article suggestions: "AI and Longevity: Unlocking the secrets to prolonged Human Lifespan" and "Digital Dynamo: How AI-Powered Marketing Strategies Catapult Startups to Success".
