    • This average is calculated from all proposals, including canceled and expired proposals.
    • Proposals which are not successfully voted by the current council are considered finalized at the final blockheight of the current council.

3.1 - Workflow, Performance, Challenged & Thinking

  • tomato
    • It looks like this council session went pretty well, it appears that there were the highest number of submitted proposals ever (18 so far) and none of the proposals expired and most were voted through in quite acceptable timeframes.
    • We also got a forum for competitions and had our first entry for the sticker competition.
    • The joystreamstats website is also up and running (it seems to still have some minor issues but its a nice addition to the information available in pioneer, and it can be built upon in the future)
    • The polkadot-js bounty looks to basically be complete pending a minor update to the PR
    • The runtime upgrade changed the workload of the curator group quite a lot, and the council agreed on a change in the budget for this.
  • freakstatic_council
    • I agree that the council session went pretty well, is great to see the community to become more active and start to participate more in the bounties, It was a good idea to increase the budget for the curator group as @tomato suggested to compensate the extra work. No problem was detected with the runtime upgrade which is great!

4 - Obligations

Council obligations are payments or items that carry through council sessions. These are noted so that future councils can easily see what items they should be aware of. Items can be removed from here once they have been resolved or become outdated.

4.1 Current Documents / Processes

  • Council Report
    • Each council should produce a report which highlights important events, council participation, mint spending and other important facts surrounding the council term
  • Council Budget
    • This is a proposal which tries to guide how many tokens the current council may have available to it during a term. This is a non binding proposal, so is mainly used as a guide for now.

4.2 Documents WIP

  • Tokenomics Reports
    • This is a periodic report which should be produced after each council round has concluded. It should serve as a tool to see the overall economics of the platform.
  • Working Group Evaluations
    • This was introduced in KPI 15.5 and should serve as a way of evaluting the working groups, so far it hasn't been produced fully.

4.2 Regular Payments / Proposals

  • Council Mint
    • The council mint needs to be checked on a regular basis and in the event it is near depletion, a council member should notify a member of Jsgenesis in order for it to be refilled.
    • The council mint is set at a value decided by Jsgenesis.
  • Council Roles
    • Council Secretary
      • This role was introduced in Council Round #18 and the current payment is 2 million tokens per council round
  • Content Curator Mint
    • The Content Curator Mint currently has a maximum value of 1 million tokens.
    • The Content Curator Mint has to be filled periodically and the agreed amount was discussed earlier. The amount may change in the future, but the rewards for this role are dependent on the council passing these proposals in a timely fashion.
    • The Content Curator Lead role is expected to keep track of their mint level and any member of the Joystream platform can create a proposal to refill this mint.
  • Storage Mint
    • The Storage Mint currently has a maximum value of 5 million tokens.
    • This mint has be refilled periodically
    • The Storage Lead role is expected to keep track of their mint level and any member of the Joystream platform can create a proposal to refill this mint.
