# January 31, 2022 MetaMoloch meeting notes
Still in phase 1 - collecting data via interviews
Next phase - digestion round, like a design sprint
### Intention - drive funding thesis going forward
- data and interviews
- define high level question
- things to improve upon
- Has what we've done before worked?
- What are we trying to get to, with having this historical context?
- What to do next? - - Where do we want to go?
- Where will we attract grants from?
- Who can we collaborate with to improve the pipeline?
- Can list on places like Ethereum.org
- Partner with suporters of MetaCartel intentionality.
#### Reunite two DAOs with historically shared intention.
- What funding gap exists between MolochDAO and MetaCartel?
- Where does MetaMoloch's reach end?
- **Identify the Gap**
- **Stimulate Grant Giving Process**
MolochDAO wants more quality proposals, with support for them to succeed.
### Next Steps
1. Identify (if) the funding gap between MetaCartel and MolochDAO.
2. Operational Flows
3. Reinvigorate MolochDAO
4. Internal Documentation
Outline internal processes about how capital will be distributed in the ecosystem, operationally and then regarding the who and why.
### Operational Mechanics
- what we've done
- why we should continue
- playbook
- request feedback
### KPI
What the top of the funnel looks like
Onboarding Flow
helmass will take the lead on inward focused documentation.
### Should MetaMoloch be a DAO?
- governance, membership and shares
- join group with MetaCartel adn MolochDAO
- the more people involved, the easier for people to commit eth, especially when demonstrating decentralization
### MolochDAO Member considerations
- Look out for scepticism from DAO members
- why do we need another DAO?
- Look out for inactivity of DAO members
- Must provide a clear value to continue.
- Will Travis and Ann help to engage MolochDAO members?
- Demonstrate/educate members about grant giving successes.
- What are MolochDAO motivations?
- Who are the members?
- Which members are showing up?
- Vampire attack meme
- clarify: MolochDAO must approve proposals and MetaMoloch does not have access to MolochDAO funds

- EF's support???
What can we learn from Ethereum Cat Herders?
- Will an ECH member attend MetaMoloch meetings?
### Host an open meeting to present next grant proposal and answer questions
