Public Assembly

TL;DR:

This proposal is to request funding to serve Public Assembly as a community resident // project manager for the next 3 months. The goal is to facilitate communication both internally and externally within the community, as well as to guide current and future PA members in their projects. Based on the feedback given in my post-mortem (View here). In this second term, I’ll be focusing on creating community spaces for members to collaborate with each other, assist in ongoing projects (website redesign, assembly press, grant submissions, etc) as well as hosting our monthly townhalls.

Context:

For the past few months, I have been involved in the PA community (thanks to 0xtranqui for being a steward in that process) and I definitely see the potential for this organization to grow as a sanctuary for developers and builders in the Web 3 space. It was mentioned in the last town hall that for Public Assembly to grow, we need to be more organized and establish a baseline for communication channels and contribution guidelines. This proposal offers my time as a project manager to help build bridges between the community and PA as onchain infrastructure.

Proposal details:

Documentation Standardization: Establish documentation for future town hall meetings, and ensure that their documentation is available for the next three town hall meetings (October, November, and December). Additionally, act as a point of contact for members seeking key information within Public Assembly. As part of the deliverables for this section, transcribe meetings and present key takeaways to make the content more digestible for the community.

Project management: Assisting PA members in facilitating the 4 steps of project development (setup, planning, delivery and close). This would also involve reaching out to both old and new token holders and providing a progress report on what they need for the project to reach completion. To begin with, I would start with the following initiatives:

• Website redesign

• Open blog

• Assembly Press

Communication channels: the focus here is on sharing community highlights within Public Assembly through Twitter, with the goal of providing at least bi-weekly updates.

External funding:

I would explore grants and other funding models that could benefit PA in the long term. In this role, I would allocate my time to sharing grants in the forum and ensuring that we meet deadlines for grant applications, if necessary.

Benefits:

This would help improve collaboration among PA members and provide context to others who would like to be involved.

Timeline:

• Month 1 (October 2023): Townhall #7, Website Redesign

• Month 2 (November 2023): Townhall #8, Assembly Press.

• Month 3 (December 2023): Townhall #9, Open Blog, end of mandate report.

Budget:

Total funds requested: 2 eth (a slight increase here since I found that the role took more of my time than expected.)
