Thanks for the post @unicorn. It’s exciting to see the community pushing ideas forward!
A Communication (‘C&M’) League has been a part of the long-term vision for SubDAO leagues structure, focusing on helping to bolster community engagement and other content marketing initiatives.
With the success of the Pilot League and the subsequent formalisation of the Treasury and Dev League, we are now firmly setting the SubDAO patterns that we believe will be the cornerstone of building a successful protocol.
Currently, the Treasury League is splitting its focus across the core Treasury League responsibilities and partially the Communication League responsibilities.
We think there is a lot of upside potential in spinning up a Pilot Communications & Marketing League, as it will help the Treasury League focus on the business development initiatives where we see substantial TVL opportunities.
A fully mandated Communications League would require some time and attention to mobilise and hand over some of the responsibilities that should come under this League but are currently handled by Idle Labs (Treasury League). We propose that for the Pilot of a Communications and Marketing League, we focus on some key areas that would quickly provide the highest value to the community.
Out of the four key responsibilities initially laid out in the Idle League vision, we consider the community engagement campaigns to be the most logical first step for the C&M Pilot League. The Idle community is already strong and supports various newcomers. We think that opening up the new pilot league to cultivate the community officially is a positive step in the direction we are heading towards.
Proposed Pilot budget
The C&M Pilot League would have a budget of $5k in $IDLE to help achieve the goals of this mandate. As this is a low amount, we propose these funds come from the Treasury League budget.
Some ideas that could be used for this budget are things like:
- Idle Rockstars Rewards: Rewarding top community contributors monthly that fairly distributes across the newcomers and OGs.
- Meme competitions: Rewarding the best meme of the month or having regular Meme competitions.
- Best Tweet award: Rewarding the community members who garner the most engagement on Twitter or who has the best Tweetstorm.
Proposed governance
As this would be a pilot run, the Idle Labs team (@Teo @Davide) would be willing to be a supervisor of the C&M Pilot league along with one additional elected Supervisor.
Proposed duration
As we are currently in flight with the first mandate of the Treasury and Dev league, we would propose that the new C&M Pilot league would align with our current mandate timelines, which ends on 4th August 2021.
Next steps
- Wait for more candidates to show their interest - deadline 4th June 2021
- Create a summary post of all candidates and team for the C&M League draft - 5th June 2021
- Carry out a snapshot vote to proceed with the Pilot - 7th June 2021
- If quorum reached, begin onboarding
We are really looking forward to hearing your thoughts and seeing how we can get this started!
