Writers Workgroup

  • Type of meeting: Weekly

  • Present: kenichi [facilitator], CJFrankie [documenter], kenichi, Mikasa, CJFrankie, Gorga Siagian, devon, Evelyn, inesgav, LadyTempestt, AJ

  • Purpose: The weekly meeting of the writers workgroup

  • Working Docs:

Narrative:

Kick-off: The writers' workgroup weekly meeting commenced at 3:10 p.m. Kenichi reviewed the action items from the previous meeting. He announced that the Twitter premium plan had been activated and that the monthly Town Hall updates from January would be the first publication on X. Furthermore, Kenichi stated that the Web3 publishing platforms required additional attention and, to that end, requested that Cj Frankie and Gorga submit their first drafts.

DRAFTs: As agreed in the previous meeting, article suggestions will now be submitted via spreadsheet. In this meeting, Kenichi demonstrated the new writer's draft submission form, which streamlines the process. Writers can now suggest articles, include submission and preferred publication dates, and provide other relevant information. The form's integration with a Google Sheet simplifies tracking for the workgroup. Ines also recommended considering tools like Trello to further enhance workflow. In response to a question from Lady Tempestt, Kenichi confirmed that both writers and scribes will have access to the submission form. Once a draft is approved, the scribes will submit it to the community page. Kenichi will coordinate with Peter to pin the form link to the writer's channel for easy access.

Role document: Ines inquired about the new role document and its associated thresholds. Kenichi clarified that the document would be accessible this quarter and that there would be no penalties for not meeting any outlined expectations. He explained that the document's purpose is to track Scribblers' progress over time, enabling the workgroup to make informed decisions, such as whether or not to onboard new members.

Ambassador program website: In this meeting, Ines proposed the idea of creating a platform or WordPress for the workgroup, where all information about what we do can be easily accessed! Kenichi then revealed that he is collaborating with the R&D guild to develop an ambassador program website. This site will house comprehensive information about all participating workgroups, each of which will have its dedicated page with updated access.

Thursday 24th April 2025

Governance Workgroup

  • Type of meeting: Weekly

  • Present: CallyFromAuron [facilitator], UKnowZork [documenter], CallyFromAuron, UKnowZork, PeterE, Tevo, Duke, AshleyDawn, advanceameyaw, Jeffrey Ndarake, Kaletsidik Ayalew, esewilliams, Évéline Trinité, Effiom

  • Purpose: Regular Weekly GovWG meeting

  • Working Docs:

Narrative:

FUNDS ALLOCATION AND RESPONSE TO LOW TOKEN PRICE. Tevo expressed concerns about some workgroups' unclear spending priorities and compared it to his own experience with treasury automation, where he was surprised by the funding allocation. Peter questioned why certain workgroups were billing $50 per hour instead of the expected $20, though he acknowledged the higher rate might be justified depending on the workgroup. Tevo also noted the lack of clarity in how rewards are tied to attendance, suggesting more details might come in a future proposal. Vani shared a Miroboard to address the low token price, allowing team members to vote on ideas and identify actionable next steps.

SUPPORTING WORKGROUPS IN OFFERING THEIR TOOLS AS A SERVICE AND TASK FORCE FORMATION. In previous calls, we discussed workgroups' collaboration with partners and spin-offs, and the tools they offer. A suggestion was made to form a task force to explore marketing these tools to spin-offs. We also talked about increasing funding by helping workgroups seek alternative streams and proposed a sign-up sheet for workgroups interested in joining projects or needing funding for existing tools. Emphasis was placed on prioritizing quality over quantity and having focused conversations on which initiatives to support. We agreed to pause further action until the next governance workgroup call. Lastly, we explored how to support workgroups in presenting their ideas, whether through DeepFunding, RFPs, spin-offs, or related operations, as part of the planned task force.

AUTOMATION AND MEETING FREQUENCY Concerns were raised about the current research and development phase of many tools, with automation seen as a way to enhance existing processes, not just innovate. Translation automation was discussed, but concerns about quality and onboarding remain. The recent move to GitHub was viewed positively. The Process Guild supports broader automation efforts, though full implementation will require time and resources. There’s interest in further exploration next quarter, potentially through a formal proposal. Emphasis was placed on understanding the impact and avoiding workload concentration on a few individuals. Regarding meeting reduction, most workgroups have already reduced meetings, with positive examples like the AI Ethics group (see to AI Ethics Q4 report in the working docs). It was suggested that workgroups share reflections on how this has affected their work to inform future planning.

PAYMENT STRUCTURES AND BUDGET CAPS Tevo noted that tasks in the African guild are sometimes prepaid, particularly during busy periods like holidays, which can be efficient but may lead to issues, such as mistakenly paying for meetings that haven’t occurred yet. We acknowledged that while no one is actively preventing prepayments, errors can arise when schedules are confused. A concern was raised about the impact of token price fluctuations, especially for workers paid in tokens like AGIX, with some questioning whether workers should bear the risk of price drops. A suggestion to prepay when token prices are high was discussed, though it was noted that workers would still have to manage the timing of token sales. We agreed that tasks with more certainty, like group meetings, could be prepaid, but it would depend on the task and the commitment involved. Duke suggested hedging in USD to avoid token price risks, but there were concerns about the program’s ability to handle this complexity. Ultimately, it was decided that workers could hedge independently after receiving payment, but the program wouldn’t take on the responsibility of converting payments to stablecoins or USD.

LEGAL CONTRACTS AND TASK BASED COMPENSATION We discussed managing funds and contracts, particularly the costs of establishing a legal framework for payments in anything other than. AGIX (paying in USD or converting to a stable coin). Initial legal service estimates are around $1,000, but there's uncertainty about whether the SingularityNET Foundation can sign contracts for fund custody. The group plans to reach out to the foundation for clarification and follow up with a lawyer on potential costs. A suggestion was made to raise awareness among workgroups about paying for tasks in advance, especially when future prices might increase. The conversation also touched on the impact of reward volatility on income, with the idea of addressing this through a governance session and survey. Lastly, we considered setting a budget cap for rewards per person to prevent overpayments, with flexibility for exceptions in cases requiring specialized skills. We also agreed that this topic should not be publicly discussed in the next Townhall meeting to avoid privacy problems, and it was confirmed that this item would be addressed in an upcoming governance call happening on Thursday 1st of May.

  • AI Tools and Collaborative Strategies: Vasu proposed using Eraser.io for collaborative scripting, noting its ability to streamline the editing process and reduce the burden on reviewers. Lordkizzy suggested that tools like Eraser.io and Trolly.ai could benefit multiple groups, including the Marketing Guild and Education Guild, to improve content creation. Both emphasized the need for mass adoption of these tools to enhance operational efficiency.

  • AI Tool Promotion: Lordkizzy emphasized the importance of promoting these tools publicly to boost adoption and gather user insights.He suggested that members could put these tools through to other members and we could as well come on to a meeting session and give a presentation around it.

  • AI Engagement and Documentation Strategies: osmium emphasized the need for engaging AI-driven content and proposed using meeting recordings for documentation and analysis. He mentioned the possibility of creating podcasts from meeting summaries and automating content distribution through tools like Google Drive and WordPress.

Friday 25th April 2025

Marketing Guild

Discussion Points:

  • Updates and Introductions: Ayo opened the meeting by welcoming attendees and sharing the agenda. Kareem addressed the graphics team's structure and budget, indicating that previous presentations had clarified the necessary metrics and deliverables. Ayo also prompted discussions regarding action items and the need for further clarification on project-related issues.

  • Quorum Discussion for Marketing Guild: Ayo led a discussion on establishing quorum for the Marketing Guild, seeking clarity on the number of core members present. LordKizzy proposed that quorum should consist of a minimum of five core members and three taskforce members. Ayo confirmed that if there are eight core members, they could still function as a quorum without taskforce members.

  • Governance Document Discussion: Ayo led a discussion on the governance document, outlining three options for its progression: resolve the comment in Guilds call and adopt it as it is, find a focus group of three people who will work on it and present, or continue to deliberate on it in every Guild meeting. LordKizzy expressed support for the first option, and after confirming the group's consensus, Ayo determined that the majority favored resolving comments and adopting the document in the current meeting.

  • Discussion on Meeting Attendance and Treasury Operations: Ayo initiated a discussion regarding the penalties for members who miss four consecutive meetings, questioning the appropriate actions to take. LordKizzy indicated that if a member has legitimate reasons for their absences and is completing their tasks effectively, they may face different consequences than those who are not performing. Ayo also mentioned the need for documentation and access to shared documents during the conversation. Ayo raised concerns about the impact of missed meetings on quorum and decision-making within the guild. LordKizzy suggested that members should not miss more than three meetings in a month, with a 30% deduction in rewards for those who exceed this limit. The discussion highlighted the need for clarity on attendance expectations and penalties.

  • Budget Allocation and Payment Schedule Discussion: Gorga inquired about missing task information for April on GitHub, prompting Ayo to confirm that they would address it. Ayo also revisited the topic of budget adjustments, noting the necessity of cutting overhead to ensure financial sustainability. Ayo proposed reducing the budget allocation from 150 to 120 to prevent overspending. LordKizzy outlined the payment schedule, indicating that payments for approved submissions would be made on the 1st of May, with a second review on the 7th. The group unanimously agreed to the 120 allocation, emphasizing the need to stay within budget constraints.

  • Podcast Review and Marketing Guild Updates: Eric Davies discussed the status of the podcast, indicating that he and Kenechi will review it prior to its release. He also mentioned drafting modules for the marketing guild and is waiting for feedback from LordKizzy about the video work group. LordKizzy inquired about the podcast's structure and the participation of writers in the next sprint, to which Eric Davies confirmed he had not yet received feedback. Ayo requested that the summary notes be prepared by the weekend.
