Hi @Caesar, thanks for kickstarting a thread on this topic
It’s a topic very close to my heart. And before we get to defining our KPIs, we need to agree on our shared mission and values as you put in your diagram above.
While I won’t be able to add much more than what @b3n has said so articulately and comprehensively. I’d like to throw additional weight behind the importance of this objective for PNF.
As soon as PNF is up and running, as envisaged by the Foundation for the Future post, it is priority #1 for me to facilitate a community-wide exercise on behalf of the DAO that integrates a broad set of feedback and opinions to identify and align around the DAO’s key priorities, mission and operating culture going forward. More information will follow wrt this exercise post-launch of the new PNF, and it will lead to some well-defined objectives and documentation around exactly what you are describing, and that we can all hopefully be excited to get behind.
As an aside, you will likely have seen the Pocket Network mission and values document that is roughly 2.5 years old at this stage. It’s absolutely unusual and an exception in my experience for any early startup’s values to stand such a test of time, and to largely reflect the lived experience for those in the community. That’s a real credit to @o_rourke and the other early leaders at Pocket that put these strong foundations in place to develop the vibrant and collaborative culture we all benefit from now.
That’s not to say that any laurels should be rested on, as things are not perfect by any means. Pocket’s culture and values are a strength to be worked on, but they still need a lot of work! Particularly for the DAO and the broader community.
However, referring back to Pocket’s original values doc is just a heartening reminder - for me at least - of why I’m here; the values in this community are genuine and what makes it unique.
