# RG<>MolochDAO Season 3 Cohort
###### tags: `RaidGuild` `MolochDAO`

### Overview
Each of the following are conceived as tasks ($6k each) but we might organize them into projects (3 @ $10k each) - we need clarity on the RG definition of these terms/scope.

5 tasks @ $6k/ea = $30k

We will begin with **$20k for the season3 sponsorship**, with a portion dedicated to **incentivizing MGD members to take up the projects**

### Bonus for MGD (or female non-tech) Contributors
* Moloch will dedicate a small fund to incentivize female apprentices of RaidGuild to take on MolochDAO projects
* Would love to consult on what seems appropriate. Initial idea:
* $500 per successful contributor x4 = $2k total
* Since Ann, Zayi, and Travis (aka ReallyBoringGuild) are also all MGD members, we will be working both sides to try to increase female apprentices this season

### Handbook
#### Scribe, Monk, Ranger, Mystic Alchemist, Healer
* Requires focus on content and structure, based on current minimum viable handbook (a work in progress that will be made public soon)
* Might begin with an ecosystem-wide handbook audit to create a "State of the DAO" report, based on the work that earth2travis and Amos (arentweall) has already done
* Audit might be confined to the MC ecosystem, or expanded beyond
* Focuses on functionality already outlined in handbooks, appropriating and adapting for Moloch's needs (so as to avoid reinventing the wheel), specifically for a grant awarding DAO
* Development of a Docusaurus handbook framework
* Custodial design of the DAO doc repository to facillitate open-source "living document" community contributions moving forward
* Investigate and provide recommendations for the ongoing incentivization of Moloch working groups
* There is already a lot of planning on the scope and details of this handbook that can be shared with apprentices - it's an ongoing project that we want to take to the next level with outside contributors
**Timeline:** Dec 31, 2021

### Visual Design System
#### Archer, Ranger
* Create from scratch the design system for the DAO
* Open-source repository so future contributors can easily make changes - Figma?
* Wireframes with example layouts (related to website project)
* Research Moloch lore, correlate to aesthetics, balance between the *offensive* punk/metal imagery with a more digestible public-facing presentation
**Timeline:** Dec 31, 2021
**Point person:** Travis

### New/Updated MolochDAO.com Website
#### Archer, Ranger, Warrior, Cleric
* Currently hosted on Webflow (no coding necessary for non-tech contributors)
* Can be migrated to a custom site
* Deliverables might include wireframes of new site, or be expanded into a more comprehensive UX report that preceeds the design phase to explore the MV functionality of a grant awarding DAO
* Requires an audit of existing Moloch material, revamp of sitemap to identify excesses: minimum viable website
* Incorporates visual design system
**Timeline:** Dec 31, 2021
**Point person:** Travis

### Grant Administration & Strategy
#### Angry Dwarf, Monk, Healer, Druid, Cleric

**Annual Report**
* Investigate 2021 grant history - estimate how much was spent on grants. (Requires understanding shares.)
* Help create profiles of the 2021 grantees highlighting their accomplishments & what the grant enabled (impact) - and create social media versions of these.
* Contribute to a budget sustainability model for MolochDAO. Format will be laid out.
* Form a working group on regenerative strategies for the treasury and create some actionable recommendations.
* Create a template for an annual report in a polished format consistent with Moloch design. Outline will be provided.
* Provide updates to the appropriate sections of the handbook
* Assist in research and Moloch community conversation of 2022 grant focus for inclusion in the annual report.

**Grant Strategy**
* Assist in defining guiding principles of the Moloch grant pipeline.
* Identify DAO-to-DAO collaborations and areas of common interest, where Moloch can contribute to and participate in the ecosystem, creating impact and learning.
* Curation of grant projects in a *punk ethos*: radical transparency, sacrifice of the self for the greater good via retroactive public goods funding initiatives, ongoing solarpunk (post-doom) support for Ethereum, etc.

**Grant Admin**
* Articulate a work description or workstream: grant administrator role for one or more people to fill.
* Streamline the application procedure including back end - type form, airtable, on-chain data. Identify simplications that make it simpler to apply, simpler to process grants, and which is transparent to Moloch members.
* Bonus: recreate the current RBG payments system to streamline monthly payments and create more transparency to the DAO.

**Timeline:** Dec 17, 2021
**Point person:** Ann

### Community Facillitation / Strategy
#### Tavern Keeper, Bard, Hunter, Scribe, Healer
* Requires theory (strategy) and action (admin). Internal ops audit, research, and consultation. Report might outline actionable steps, or be handed off to another marketing DAO/entity.
* Ground-up strategy pertaining to community building, outreach, marketing, DAO-to-DAO collaborations, etc.
* Creation of a unified voice for Discord, Discourse, Twitter, and other social channels - working closely with the Visual Design System team?
* Articulate best practices and codes of conduct for community engagement
* Brand strategy! Marketing strategy to identify the primary needs and pain points of the DAO, how to best attend to them in a public facing campaign, resulting in visual design directions
* Draft a report that will allow RBG to continue to recruit specific specializations
* Working with the Annual Report group to define future strategies
* Articulate internal incentivization schemes for working groups (like RBG), curate contributions inclusively with a focus on diversity of perspective and experience (both technical and non-tech)
* One eye looking in (internal ops) and one eye looking out (outreach)
* Bonus: Working towards the articulation of a new internal role, focused on:
* Internal ops designing for inclusivity
* Identification of incentives that attract diverse contributors and **value/keep facillitator roles**
* Critique of DAO infrastructure (beyond MolochDAO?) to improve internal ops (ala Healer)
* Sustained investigation of the need for a DAO HR-esque role
* Moderate without policing: expand upon decentralized moderation, to orchestrate diverse voices without inhibiting/exclusing through code of conduct
* Ongoing research on inclusive design, porous cultural strategy, and transparent reportage disseminated through content production (blog articles, forum posts, Discord discussions)
