So if the current council has 50 hours to vote on proposal, but does not fully vote and the proposal is passed onto the next council, this 50 hours is included in the average time to finalize. ### 2.2 - Proposal Breakdown #### Proposal 16 - Alexandria - Council 01 report - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/16 - Proposal Type: Spending - Amount: 1000000 - Status: Executed - Time to finalize: 21102 blocks (35.17 hours) - Created by: @tomato - Participants: @tomato, @nexusfallout, @anthony, @supunssw, @freakstatic_council #### Proposal 17 - Council 01 - Tokenomics Report - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/16 - Proposal Type: Spending - Amount: 400000 - Status: Executed - Time to finalize: 14303 blocks (23.83 hours) - Created by: @freakstatic_council - Participants: @tomato, @nexusfallout, @anthony, @supunssw #### Proposal 18 - Refill Storage Working Group mint - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/18 - Proposal Type: SetWorkingGroupMintCapacity - Amount: 5000000 - Status: Executed - Time to finalize: 9023 blocks (15.03 hours) - Created by: @rajcprem - Participants: @tomato, @anthony, @supunssw, @freakstatic_council #### Proposal 19 - Gaming videos - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/19 - Proposal Type: Spending - Amount: 100000 - Status: Executed - Time to finalize: 13224 blocks (22.04 hours) - Created by: @betilada - Participants: @tomato, @nexusfallout, @anthony, @freakstatic_council #### Proposal 20 - KPI 02.3 - Appoint new council secretary - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/20 - Proposal Type: Spending - Amount: 2000000 - Status: Executed - Time to finalize: 17534 blocks (29.22 hours) - Created by: @tomato - Participants: @tomato, @nexusfallout, @supunssw, @sparky, @freakstatic_council #### Proposal 21 - Validator count increase - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/21 - Proposal Type: SetValidatorCount - Amount: N/A - Status: Executed - Time to finalize: 9119 blocks (15.19 hours) - Created by: @tomato - Participants: @tomato, @nexusfallout, @sparky, @freakstatic_council #### Proposal 22 - Storage Provider Spot Check - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/22 - Proposal Type: Text - Amount: N/A - Status: Executed - Time to finalize: 713 blocks (1.18 hours) - Created by: @tomato - Participants: @tomato, @anthony, @supunssw, @freakstatic_council #### Proposal 23 - Content Curator Role Spot Check - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/23 - Proposal Type: Text - Amount: N/A - Status: Executed - Time to finalize: 12424 blocks (20.70 hours) - Created by: @tomato - Participants: @tomato, @nexusfallout, @anthony, @freakstatic_council #### Proposal 24 - KPI 02.6 - Potential Bounties - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/24 - Proposal Type: Text - Amount: N/A - Status: Executed - Time to finalize: 7701 blocks (12.83 hours) - Created by: @tomato - Participants: @tomato, @nexusfallout, @anthony, @freakstatic_council #### Proposal 25 - Proposed budget adjustment - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/25 - Proposal Type: Text - Amount: N/A - Status: Executed - Time to finalize: 4396 blocks (7.32 hours) - Created by: @tomato - Participants: @tomato, @nexusfallout, @sparky, @freakstatic_council #### Proposal 26 - Adjust Storage Lead Rewards - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/26 - Proposal Type: SetWorkingGroupLeaderReward - Amount: N/A - Status: Executed - Time to finalize: 11076 blocks (18.46 hours) - Created by: @tomato - Participants: @tomato, @nexusfallout, @sparky, @freakstatic_council #### Proposal 27 - Rolling updates for Community Repo - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/27 - Proposal Type: Text - Amount: N/A - Status: Carried on to next council - Time to finalize: 32242 blocks (53.73 hours) - Created by: @tomato - Participants: N/A #### Proposal 28 - Replenishing the mind tor ContentCurator - Proposal Link: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/28 - Proposal Type: SetContentWorkingGroupMintCapacity - Amount: 1000000 - Status: Carried on to next council - Time to finalize: 22570 blocks (37.61 hours) - Created by: @tomato - Participants: N/A ### 2.4 - Select threads & events - Alexandria KPI 02.x - Budget - https://testnet.joystream.org/#/forum/threads/136 - Constitution / Proposal requirements - https://testnet.joystream.org/#/forum/threads/138 - Rolling updates introduced - https://testnet.joystream.org/#/proposals/27 ## 3 - Review ### 3.1 - Workflow, Performance, Challenged & Thinking * @freakstatic_council * This round was a bit calm comparing with the previous one. We still don't have the bot telegram which we miss so much :/ but it seems it's almost ready. @tomato has made some adjustments to the budget which we were needing, thanks btw! The council approved the values proposed by @tomato. Some problems with the storage providers were reported but @tomato seems to have help fix them * @tomato * I think the council session went fairly well, its helping a lot that things are getting voted on consistently by the council which is making progress a bit easier. It's still a bit difficult with the small size of the community to get people interested, and it'd be nice to see more involvement from more of the council on issues, but for now things aren't super challenging. * I've managed to work on a budget, which has helped make it more obvious how much the council has promised as payments for roles and will hopefully make it easier for us to manage budgeting in the future: https://testnet.joystream.org/#/forum/threads/136 * We also completed the first spot checks of working groups which showed a big issue with storage providers, so I'm guessing these will become a regular occurrence. * One improvement that I think needs to be made, is when tackling issues that we're given with KPIs we have to have deadlines for almost everything, if elected for the next session I'll be working on making sure that almost everything has a deadline attached to it. ## 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 1 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. ## 5 - Report changelog - 22.10.2020 - updated budget section to reflect nature of new budget system - updated events to be threads & events - added proposals which are not successfully voted (lack of quorum) to averages - removed bounties section, since these are now managed differently - 14.09.2020 - removed member addresses and replaced with member IDs since they take less space - added realized and unrealized spending
