Optimism

This proposal seeks to ratify the eligibility criteria for members of the Milestones and Metrics Council (M&M) for Seasons 8 and 9. This is part of an experiment to explore non-political selection methods for non-political roles within the Collective. The M&M Council plays an essential non-political role in enforcing grant policies and evaluating performance. For Season 8 and 9, a new model will be tested where Council members are selected based on competencies rather than elections. By voting FOR on this proposal, you are approving the outlined selection criteria for M&M Council eligibility. To be eligible to be an M&M member in Season 8-9, candidates must meet 2 of the following 3 requirements:

1. Analytics Skills
   • Previous M&M Council service
   • Completed relevant analytical Foundation Mission
2. Reputation in the Collective
   • Contributor above wannabe level
   • Held a governance role in Season 6 or 7
3. Operational Security
   • Completed OpSec training by Opsek

Any eligible member (person meeting the ratified selection criteria) may submit an M&M Charter and run to be Lead during Voting Cycle #39a. The Charter will specify the number of members needed in Season 8 & 9. To determine members from the full list of eligible addresses, the Foundation will randomly sample from the list of eligible addresses If the selection criteria is not approved by the Token House, an election will be run in a subsequent voting cycle, which will delay the launch of Season 8.

This proposal is eligible for Voting Cycle #38: https://gov.optimism.io/t/voting-cycle-roundup-38/9932
