## Minutes and Priorities for the coming week(s)

- Rep_lang and Cultural Computer
- Michael getting into HC. Allowing rep_lang to seep into cultural computer more
- Pair programming sessions likely between Michael and pospi
- Chat with Eric HB about 'We' - this could serve as a central, Holochain native framework for NH. More discussion to follow.
- Ad4m to possibly play a role in integration with widgets

- Comms
- Whitepaper: Reads really well. Yay Emaline!
- Nicole to work on 10 diagrams, Sid to polish NHT and NHC text and we should be there.
- Next step, figuring out how to get feedback without it getting too chaotic.
- Sid building distributed conversations with Moritz. The goal: 'someone can grock NH through a Twitter thread'
- Conversation with RedGrid leading to an article about common use-cases
- Medium posts should be published in next couple days (series of 3)
- Emails to SC community and subsequently substack to start next week (hold Sid accountable to this if doesn't happen!)

- Currency design:
- NH Credits serve as 'value-stable crypto accounting system for NH'. Basically, a community should be able to stock up on NHC and feel safe in the fact that they are entitled to a specific amount of access to widgets.
- NH Tokens, serve as a the crypto gateway to this system. NHT's would be the only currency in the reserve. NHC can be redeemed by devs to get NHT, which they can then exchange in crypto markets.

- ICO and Fundraise:
- Licensing convo: First stating what we need, then going into shop for licenses. May open conversation with Noah Thorpe since he has explored so many options
- Contracts: working on this over next few weeks.
- Succession agreement
- Options for entities fully explored. Should register next week (yay Jethro!)

Sid on Fundraise: looking at fundraise as an opportunity to be 'in relationship' with people. Of course, it's not a perfect decision since there's so many moving parts to this. Going by where things are at (crypto markets, regulations, sentiment in Holo, status of our project) the most likely options for our fundraise look either like a small issuance of tokens (with a larger portion disseminated over the course of 2022 and beyond through exchanges) or a private raise (with a larger portion disseminated subsequently). Either way, Comms continues as is, but these options allow us to access people who are 'more aligned' first, rather than random people coming into the project.

A special sync to be scheduled next week same time (optional, for those who want to participate) to crystallise this strategy and take a call.

Any other reflections?

## Minutes and Priorities from previous sync

General:
Improving communication withing NH. Syncs to be held within Discord (open for others to join), 'Fireplace' for people to stream in organically. More ideas welcome #distributedorglife

Comms:
See Comms channel for more details.
Whitepaper coming along well: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Tyf-H2MzdNOEc3d8kcS046VsBSlmKuIDhCsF78dsFYA/edit#heading=h.p1zm8zxr0h2

ICO Updates:
- Trying to figure out nominee director structure
- What's our min bar: Not much ~1mn$ to keep things going. Ideally not put ourselves in a situation where we're forced to compromise too much

Rep_lang:
- Michael working on demo with Nico ('likes' and 'claps' define where we show up in the feed)

NH_Scaffolding:
See #nhscaffolding for conversations through the week

Cultural Computer:
Looks like we will open source it. Conversation to be had if needed

Accounting system for credits:
Marketplace not actually a marketplace. It's something we already knew, but we're effectively saying dev can be initiated 1. in Neighbourhoods and propagate from there and 2. independently by devs themselves

NH Credits:
Discussion continuing in V3 of this document: (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xJfpgWaHf_TFLvtHTrRNfQO7OmWG6uJmkGyr52Hjj2k/edit#heading=h.qcxl7nfkomqq)
(Decision pending on whether to issue 'deep discounted credit' or create boundary between investor instrument and mutual-credit system)
