26th OP Community Call **Future of Governance Edition** [Recording & Recap]
by danielo - No Role
Posted on: Aug. 11, 2023, 11:05 a.m.
Content: We (RnDAO and Missions Poubliques) would love to share our research on citizen assemblies and the work we’re doing with Cosmos Hub, which I think could be super relevant for Optimism too. Citizen assemblies are powerful because they avoid the principal-agent problem, so they avoid all the issues with having visible delegates: risks of corruption, bribery, blackmail etc delegates being wealthy and/or influential by default so out of touch with the situation of the majority delegate disengagement electing by popularity or political power instead of expertise and more happy to share more if it’s of interest

[DRAFT] Improving Governance Accessibility through Community Participation Analytics and Hivemind bot for member support
by danielo - No Role
Posted on: June 28, 2023, 3:46 p.m.
Content: Hey Simona sentiment is indeed part of it. The tool would use sentiment as a basis to calculate which messages then to analyse for conflict. so it’s kind of like a stepping stone and already included (and we’re exploring different ways to visualise it) And the hivemind bot can also query on-demand said messages and the messages graph too, so all kind of on-demand analyses are possible Degree of engagement is already built, both as an overall score and also as a network graph which is even more powerful

Content: Thanks Vonnie for the feedback! I’d argue that it makes more sense to combine them, as building separate infrastructure for them would increase costs by about 50 % Additionally, we already built the infrastructure for Discord data pipelines and Community Analytics and are offering that for free with the proposal. Then we use the OP requested to add the Discourse data pipeline, expand the metrics to include Governance analytics and then can connect the Q&A/Hivemin bot to all of that. On top of reusing the same data pipelines, community members will have the ability to query the analytics from Discord too! There are UX benefits but, more importantly, our bot is not just a simple LLM model, but actually a multi-agent system that can answer more complex queries (think about it as a research assistant), so the bot can combine both qualitative and quantitative data (thanks to being connected to our analytics). For example, we can ask “who can I ask for feedback on my proposal” then the bot can take into consideration who has been active in Governance or recommend members who are “vital members in our analytics” (members who are well connected across the social network and hence have broader context). It’s a case where the whole is more than the sum of the parts :slight_smile: As for the permissions, the discord bot needs to be able to read messages and message history and send messages (also likely “use application commands” so users can engage with it). The admin can decide which channels to give access to and which not, so it’s fairly safe, especially compared to other bots out there asking for admin permission. We already did a lot of work figuring out how to narrow our permission management to the bare essentials as we conducted an internal review on security, so Optimism also benefits from this previous work. As for Discourse, just the ability to read the data (the exact permissions would be figured out through the grant work)

Builder of products, processes, and teams. Please explain how this Mission will help accomplish the above Intent: Accessibility is not only about the end result (e.g. how many people vote) but about understanding the conditions and root causes that lead to said result, so we can improve upon them. Accordingly, this proposal will provide Optimism with: Analytics Dashboard: a mechanism to assess Governance Accessibility and a holistic understanding of Optimism’s social network across platforms => informing continuous improvement Hivemind: leverage the same data pipelines for a “hivemind bot” using TogetherCrew’s expertise in ML to enable community members to easily query accumulated knowledge in Discord and Discourse to answer complex questions (e.g. has a proposal for topic X already been funded? how can I submit a proposal? What does the community feel about topic Y?). This removes knowlede-gap barriers to involvement and enable community members to participate more effectively with less time investment. Analytics: Method: we go beyond basic engagement metrics, as those fail to capture which groups are encountering barriers to participate and which groups aren’t. In addition, it is prone to be gamified and mistake spam for valuable participation. Instead, this proposal leverages Organisational Network Mapping with “interactions data” captured from community platforms to more precisely understand the dynamics of governance accessibility across the community channels as well as the evolution over time of participants’ engagement and resulting community health. We leverage TogetherCrew’s existing infrastructure: Discord data pipeline and databases. This development was funded by previous grants from Aave, Aragon, Near, Celo, MetaCartel, and Polygon. We will expand upon it with a Discourse integration to include proposal-related conversations. HiveMind: Method: The Hivemind bot enables members to query the community’s collective memory with advanced questions capability. A multi-agent LLM system is configured to summarise conversations and breakdown complex queries into simpler tasks that can then be resolved and aggregated by scanning the summarised community data. Equally, regular summaries of discussions are also generated as a valuable by-product. The Hivemind bot will leverage the data infrastructure already developed for the Analytics (Discord and Discourse data collection) to provide answers. The interface will be a bot made available in Optimism’s Discord (potential subsequent expansion to other platforms). This proposal also includes a budget to cover the maintenance costs of the analytics infrastructure for the next three months (after deployment) and a forecasted usage budget for the Hivemind bot’s LLMs infrastructure. Should usage exceed this budget, the service will be discontinued and a subsequent proposal will be made for the community to decide. For additional context see 4 min: Dashboard overview TogetherCrew overview - YouTube 1 45 min: in depth presentation to MakerDAO including Q&A (not part of a grant request): Tool House Rock # 10 | TogetherCrew - YouTube What makes your Alliance well-suited to execute this Mission? For the past 12 months the core of our work has been the study of Community Health and the development of frameworks and tools to assess it meaningfully. Governance Accessibility is a key part of that so we have already built significant data infrastructure and done work to separate meaningful metrics from less relevant ones. We’ve partnered with researchers at UC Berkley studying governance analytics in particular, so we can separate the wheat from the chaff and ensure not just a lot of indicators but the most relevant ones. We’ve years of experience in web 3 , and decades of experience in analytics, ML, and social sciences. We’ve also built a company handling sensitive medical data, have worked with lawyers from LexDAO to validate compliance of our data management practices, and consulted for dozens of clients from startups for fortune 500 s and DAOs. This has included the delivery of this public goods framework: Tooling & Utilities nominations for RPGF 2 - # 29 by davisshaver Please list a critical milestone. The critical milestone should be a measure of whether you’ve made best efforts to execute what is outlined in this proposal or not. If you fail to achieve your critical milestone, your grant may be clawed back. milestone 1 : Deployment of TogetherCrew’s bot in Optimism Discord ⇒ dashboard goes live (early insights on community health are generated) milestone 2 : Integration with Optimism Discourse ⇒ Inclusion of Discourse data on the dashboard (live insights on governance accessibility) milestone 3 : Deployment of HiveMind bot in Optimism’s Discord ⇒ Community members enabled to query collective memory and troubleshoot accessibility How should Token House delegates measure progress towards this Mission: These should focus on progress towards completion. Including expected completion dates for each is recommended. Successful deployment of discord bot - week 0 - 3 (dependant on Optimism’s discord admin) Analytics dashboard live, providing insights for community managers to improve Community Health including Governance Accessibility - week 0 - 4 (dependent on completion of the above) Successful integration of Discourse data pipeline and dashboard live including multiple data sources - week 6 - 12 (margin given due to unknowns about the volume of data and consequential infrastructure adaption needs) Integration of HiveMind bot with Optimism’s data and configuration - week 1 - 3 Development of HiveMind bot Discord interface and deployment in Optimisms’s Discord - week 3 - 6 How should badgeholders measure impact upon completion of this Mission? These should be focused on performance and may be used by badgeholders to assess your Mission’s impact in the next round of RetroPGF.

Also more costs effective as reusing the same data pipelines More than the sum: the bot can query the analytics as well, enabling it to use both qualitative and quantitative data to answer questions Research-backed metrics and recommendations: it’s not enough to have data but the key is knowing where to focus. We’ve already prototyped a recommendation engine (see images above) and this proposal would allow us to expand it further Cross-platform analysis (Discord analytics already built and ready to deploy, Twitter analytics funded by Web 3 foundation and currently in-development, Discourse and voting analytics to be added via this proposal) Added value for moneyBuilding on top of previous proposals for other ecosystems thus able to provide 3 x value for money to Optimism (Discord, Discourse, Twitter, and voting analytics + hivemind bot) *Reliable: this team is part of RnDAO and has been delivering research and analytics reports for a year in this area. Additionally, our Discord bot has already been greenlighted for safe deployment in the Optimism ecosystem. Compliance: our data management practices have been developed in collaboration with IP and GDPR lawyers from LexDAO Advance queries: multi-agent LLM model enables the bot to go beyond basic FAQs and instead operate as a “research assistant”, breaking down questions into subtasks and using different methods (combining qualitative data and quantitative analysis from the analytics) to provide better answers.

- Pop: Good to see further work being done in terms of analysing behaviour - I wonder what levels of granularity this could go to? I would be more interested in sentiment if accessible and also degree of engagement (this would apply to community as well as representatives). It’s what we started for Gitcoin last year https://delegate.gitcoin.co/ (sadly now it is much more focused on voting activity thus reductionist in nuance)
