Adding some additional context here: we were part of the d/acc residency, focused on expanding Signals as a sense-making protocol.
d/acc is intentionally a very broad container. Assumed that further references to d/acc from my PoV is though the lens of how internet native orgs operate.
Huge credit to @James as well for hosting two DAO-focused workshops during Edge City, which attracted a diverse range of participants and valuable perspectives from outside of crypto-native circles. I have a nice 70m video from one of those workshops that I still need to unpack and process.
We created a public Telegram sink to collect ideas and discussions over the four-week period, which now includes a large corpus of peoples contributions. We’re planning to run some deeper analysis soon to surface where there was meaningful collective alignment and what can be pushed forward.
I encourage those interested to read:

The idea of the “Retro” emerged as a small, actionable practice that any organization can adopt to help refine and re-orient its direction. Fitting into the “accountability” section of what we (Lighthouse Labs) define as the “Governance Stack” and our one of our friend also saw as a reflexive feedback loop.
DAOs are still an emergent organizational form, and decentralized coordination is a relatively new operational modality. Yes, there are inefficiencies, but I believe we can make steady, incremental improvements by treating evaluation as a core component of how we move forward collectively.
