## 3. Grantee Updates: 

[**Ethereum Follow Protocol**](https://twitter.com/ethfollowpr)

**@brantly.eth from https://ethfollow.xyz/**

* Thank you for Large Grant!
* Proposed social graph protocol for Ethereum accounts
* Run on L1 and L2
* Ethereum missing social graph, EFP will solve that
* ENS needs social graph protocol to fend off competition from Lens and Farcaster who have own naming service
* Integration demo: https://demo.ethfollow.xyz
* Docs: https://docs.ethfollow.xyz
* Test API: https://docs.ethfollow.xyz/api
* If have ENS account, people can follow you even if you haven't joined EFP. No claiming of handles, already have your ENS handle

First draft of smart contracts completed: https://github.com/ethereumfollowprotocol/contracts-beta/tree/master/src/beta

* Contracts work together ensuring entire graph onchain
    * Registry for minting NFTs ERC721 representing the list
    * List created onchain 
    * List metadata stored in separate contract record (L2)
    * Construct social graph

* Read docs.md for Design primitives: https://github.com/ethereumfollowprotocol/contracts-beta/blob/master/src/beta/docs.md

**Milestones:**
* Indexer up and running in December 
* On track to have EFP onchain in Q1, testnet prior to that

**Question:** Why social graph public? Wouldn't want private?
**Answer:** Storing onchain most robust way of storing things, puts user 100% in control. Are benefits to social graph being private, but also interesting when public. Follows, likes, blocks etc. being public sends signal

**Note from @Coltron.eth:** Excellent job of setting milestones and updating working group as a grantee

**SiHer**

Kara Howard from SiHer (https://kara.siher.eth.limo/), Web3 talent collective
* Drive visibility for women and non-binary individuals in Web3
* Partnering with EFP so can turn into media network
* Asking for additional grant to bring more diverse individuals and related programs into Web3
* Hosting virtual conference on 31 December; would love for ENS to be core partner along with LivePeer

## 4. Open space for additional topics

**What makes for Public Good stewards for next term?**
* Bandwidth and time to dedicate to role
* Context/ willing to investigate history of DAO, culture, and constitution
* Continue and expand on Small Grants 
* Elaborate more on Large Grants; build home/front-end; possibly from DAO tooling
* Evalauate and fund more technical projects 
* Put strategic / meaty / meaningful objectives in motion (e.g. partnerships, learn from existing initiatives, tracking milestones)
* Set strong expectations within public goods stewards; public goods should consider experimenting without having a lead steward and having focused/shared responsibility (reduce bystander effect)

**Will group continue scholarships?**
* Most likely won't continue. Need to do close out post with recipients

**Request to make voting process more clear for small grants**
* Who has voter card? Requested here: https://ensdao.deform.cc/small-grants-voter-card/
* Process ideally discussed and revised next year

**Last public goods meeting of term**
* Next week, 12 December
