Governance
A new RFC proposal written by @paouky and @lehnberg simplifies the governance structure by clarifying the scope of the project, reverting to the technocratic council for fund management, and letting the rest of the project be governed by independent, self-organising teams.
The project has an updated code of conduct which has also been moved to the website. The changes are cosmetic, more details about the work was outlined in this forum post.
@antiochp’s request for funding Q4 2020 will be evaluated in tomorrow’s governance meeting.
