This architecture will propose a detailled process, budget, actors involved. \n\nIt will be based on best practice design principles of Citizen Deliberation. \n\nIt is a concrete first application of the \"decision lego\" framework presented in another grant proposal.\n\n#Context: Governance for the 21st Century#\n\nAs Humanity dives into a new paradigm, there is a profound need to reassess the way we take collective decisions. Activists, academics, and practitioners worldwide have been planting seeds of new ways of doing exactly this. 3 emergent practices and approaches are particularly interesting to explore: Deliberative Governance, Web3, and the regenerative mindset.\n\nAs blockchain technology and crypto-related ecosystems grow, they are demonstrating the potential they have to change the world. If we look at governance, DAOs have very strong potential in terms of immutability, transparency, scalability, and incentive structures. At the same time, the challenges they face are also becoming clear. Particularly, decentralized governance has reached a clear bottleneck: crypto governance is plagued by low participation and turnout, bad quality forum discussions, nepotism, collusion, influencer biases, etc. This in itself is not dramatic as DAOs are a very new institution and there needs to be a lot of piloting and experimentation to find the right balance between old and new institutional designs, between soft and hard governance, and between social and onchain consensus.\n\nDeliberative Governance has been invented, piloted and scaled since roughly 40 years as an answer and complement to the shortcomings of classical representative democracy and direct democracy. It brings collective intelligence (vs collected intelligence from voting, opinion polls or current crypto governance) to fruition, is epistemically strong (through cognitive diversity and the methods used in the process) and highly legitimate (through random selection of participants also known as Aleatorian Democracy). An overview of the many faces of deliberation can be explored at (https://participedia.net/).\n\nThese 2 approaches have a clear potential to test and scale a new way of taking collective decisions as long as we are able to approach them in the more general framework of the regenerative approach manifesting through 4 principles: open network (nested, in relationships), regenerative (homeostasis: structure resilience & auto-poiesis: evolution), creative (emergent properties), intelligent (learning loops, cognition: adaptation to perturbations).\n\n#State of the art and approach#\n\nThere is a flourishing activity in research and experimentation in DAOs governance, deliberative governance and regenerative activity. But there is a lack of understanding in how exactly those 3 components interact. The goal of the research is to propose a framework for grasping the intersection of the three worlds and a series of possible experimentation to test the framework. It aims at responding to the call launched through the ground breaking paper \u201cOpen problems in DAOs\u201d (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.19201.pdf). Particularly, it aims at contributing to part 7 of the discussion.\n\nThe approach aims at being practice oriented and experimentation oriented. It builds on a series of exploratory discussions (https://archive.org/details/vergne-metagov) and a first pilot in the Web3 ecosystem: The Cosmos Citizens\u2019 Assembly (see: https://aez.global/ and https://forum.cosmos.network/t/proposal-draft-after-the-big-bang-a-constitutional-process-the-cosmos-hub/8695 ).\n\n#output#\n\nThe output of the research will be a note called \u201cGitcoin Grants Next Gen Gov\" that will be organized along the following structure: (1) a state of the art of the governance process (2) the proposition of a design for the long term governance (3) a proposal of a pilot with timeline, budget, actors, etc. ", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "AVAntoineVergne"}
