Hi folks, Josh here from Metagov.
Context: a few other researchers and I have recently been studying the ENS constitution as part of a larger research project on the constitutions of Web3 funded by the Filecoin Foundation. We’ve stored and coded up the ENS constitution within our model along with many others and are trying to understand how to support more and better constitutions within Web3.
Question: I have a quick question for this group: who was involved in authoring the constitution, and would it be possible to speak to some of those people? We have some short questions (copied below) about the context for the ENS constitution. If it’s more convenient, you can also post a response directly in this thread!
- “What first inspired the desire to create your community’s document?”
- “For what audience(s) did you write your document?”
- “Can you describe the process by which your governance document was created and published? If there were any specific roles or groups involved, please indicate them.”
- “How did you feel the constitution creation process went? What were the biggest challenges involved?”
- “How is the constitution currently being used in practice? Is it referred to and referenced on a regular basis?”
- “Do you have any advice/resources for other organizations trying to create their own constitutions?”
