We have to stop discussing how \"open science\" DeSci is or should be. \nInstead, we will develop together concrete guiding principles for DeSci projects that will make sense for all kinds of research(ers), be it in traditional institutes, applied science, or kitchen scientists.

(Mikey from dbdao/desci-NY).\n\n## Why now?\n\nNow is the right time to start this process. The intersection of science and blockchain has matured: and millions of research dollars are already routed through research DAOs; what would it do good if this money is being spent on old \u201ccentralized science\u201d? \u201cSerious\u201d people are moving into DeSci, and institutes become aware. But the community is still young enough to come up with the right principles and best practices and to grow the small DeSci flower right. \n\n## For this, we need\n\n  \n\n\ud83e\udd1c\ud83c\udffb the DeSci community: to contribute to the guidelines\n\n\ud83e\udd1c\ud83c\udffb for scientists: that understand desci to early join the process - for lawyers who know blockchain & IP - for people who have experience in governance and guidelines ...\n\n\ud83e\udd1c\ud83c\udffb adoption: spread the word, DAOs / Web3 Science funders and DeScientists adhering to these guidelines\n\n  \n\n## Example guidelines\n\n  ![ExampleForDatainDesci](https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/Qmb9rCWcJfyzjqRDSAs8WSYFDmFDqrGrWWkemG9PrS4x8t/ExampleOpenData.png)\n\n[Example guidelines](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XstBgDTlbEYx9SXVmVau-aj1Hp7O7YearljlqClr-kE) - how they might look like, we don\u00b4t know yet. They might be more like Creative Commons.\n\nThey might be called decentralized science commons or short DS. Completely open research projects might be called DS-PG (public goods)\u2014some with non-monopolizing applied research intellectual property DS-IP. Researchers that might have to do science in traditional institutes but want to do desci might follow the DS-CS (centralized science) route; with no IP, they\u00b4ll be funded through DS-PG-CS.

Maybe it could even be the lobbying institution for DeSci. We will spend all funds on reaching these goals and invite others to participate.
