You’re speaking my language ser.. from last week: [image] OpenGov Track Experiments - Delegating to Experts Delegating power to those with a reputation of skill or expertise in a specific domain is a natural social phenomenon – keeping watch, baking bread, go…

[image] GabrielJ: What do technical solution for the collective-based approach as well as meritocratic spends look like and how do we implement them (along with other changes proposed here)? I would love to see both the community and the collectives both using the same mechanism that solves a…

I’m sharing these to add some context to the discussion - not to change t…
