What’s a Mission?
To understand Missions, you first need to understand Intents. Intents are directional goals that allow the Collective to align on near term targets.
Untitled ( 1 ) 1600 × 620 10 . 9 KB
Missions are specific initiatives aimed at achieving one of the Intents. They are tightly scoped and can be accomplished start-to-finish in less than 12 months.
Untitled ( 2 ) 1600 × 618 18 . 8 KB
Missions are specific initiatives to be executed by a team of contributors rather than ongoing services or vaguely scoped work performed by permanent working groups.
Example Mission:
“Request to Upgrade OP Mainnet to the Bedrock Release” NOT “Request to Fund developers for the next 3 months”
What’s a Mission Request?
Mission Requests are pre-specified requests for Missions that work towards the Collective Intents. They resemble Foundation Mission (RFP) from Season 4 .
To continue to scale the number of teams building the Collective, there will be two types of Mission Requests in Season 5 :
Foundation Mission Requests, supported by the Partner Fund
Delegate Mission Requests, supported by the Governance Fund
SEASON 5 CHANGE: In Season 5 , the top 100 Delegates may create Mission Requests at the beginning of each Season. Each Mission Request must be aligned with one of the Intents. A Mission Request outlines an initiative to be executed but does not assign a team to execute it.
Example Mission Requests:
Intent 4 : Governance Accessibility
Mission Request # 1 : Create Governance v 3 contract for the Collective
Mission Requet # 2 : Onboard 100 new delegates
See the Delegate Guide: How to Create a Delegate Mission Request
What’s a Mission Application?
Teams, formerly called Alliances, submit Mission Applications applying to execute a Mission Request.
SEASON 5 CHANGE: Mission Applications are similar to Mission Proposals from Season 4 , but they are submitted under Mission Requests rather than under Intents. The Grants Council, rather than the full Token House, will review all Mission Applications to select which team(s) will execute each Mission Request.
Example Mission Application:
Application 1 : Agora submits application to Mission Request # 1 (build governance v 3 contract)
Application 2 : Tally submits application to Mission Request # 1 (build governance v 3 contract)
See the Mission Applicant Guide: How to Submit a Mission Application

The post describes changes made to the mission process based on delegate feedback from Season 4, focusing on strategic alignment, reduced workload, and streamlined processes. It explains the concept of missions as specific initiatives aligned with intents, mission requests, and mission applications. Season 5 introduces new elements such as two types of mission requests, guidelines for creating mission requests, and the process of submitting mission applications. Additionally, it outlines the voting schedule and highlights the key steps involved in the mission process for Season 5.

Quick feedback here, we might wanna consider using Top 100 Active delegates 19 as opposed to simply using top 100 . This will allow more delegates to participate and thus increase the chances of mission aligned ideas to be presented to governance.
casperBGD: agree here
active members/delegates should be taken into consideration, certainly more aligned with current goals and developments in ecosystem than big delegates that are not active
