Community Guild Season 3 Proposal

Purpose of the Guild

The Community Guild is the cultural backbone of the DAO. We onboard new members, facilitate events IRL and URL, connect members to resources, host social clubs, lead dynamic programming, and help people find the projects that best suit their interests, skill-sets, and passions.

Beyond leading onboarding, our guild’s focus will be to curate a lively and fun vibe-aligned culture by hosting IRL and URL events, fostering a collaborative work environment, facilitating connections, and moderating the community and its constantly growing needs.

Who will serve on the City Council representing the Guild?

What are the Guild's goals for the season? What metrics will the Guild track?

The Community Guild is supporting three quests this season.:

1. Lead weekly orientation calls and iterate on our onboarding materials
2. Build a data-driven DEIJ action plan specific to Cabin that can be implemented for Season Four.
3. Encourage & maintain good discord Hygiene & Cross-Pollination of information & context across guilds

Each quest has an objective with affiliated KRs.

Objective: Make our onboarding experience world class for DAOs

• Build a library of Looms and YouTube videos that form the start of an asynchronous onboarding pathway for introverts.
• Keep our FAQ and Onboarding documentation up to date.
• Host 1-3 orientation sessions per week

Objective: Build a data-driven DEIJ action plan specific to Cabin that can be implemented for Season Four.

• Create database and populate it with demographic data of Cabin community, tokenholders, contributors, and city council members
• Conduct 25 user interviews with diverse stakeholders within Cabin and the DAO ecosystem
• Synthesize lessons from the user interviews & database to inform three actionable ways to improve Cabin's approach to DEIJ in future seasons
• Host biweekly calls of a group of Cabin volunteers interested in building out our larger DEIJ strategy

Objective: Help other guilds retain and engage members while making it very easy for new members to understand the flow of information in Discord

• Facilitate weekly meetings at the guild level to unblock members, create a vibe at the guild level, and improve coordination
• Moderate spam in discord and delete unwelcome messages within 12 hours.
• Make sure that all intro/help messages are answered by a Cabin member within 12 hours
• Help maintain a coherent Discord structure that is easy for newbies to understand

Guild Budget

The Community Guild is requesting $33,000 USDC and ₡3,315.00 to meet the objectives described above. Estimated budget: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1u7O8M1OxVb2tRXfezFRo7F84vqoOqmzgcFYDXzxu6tM/edit#gid=1746292086

Is admission to the Guild open or closed? How do people join?

The Community Guild is as open as it gets! People join by completing the Onboarding Welcome Form, attending an onboarding call, and then onboarding to the guild. We recommend scheduling a time to chat 1on1 with at least two people within the guild to get connected to our current initiatives and quests and see where they can plug in.

Evaluation of last season

Last season the Community Guild was born. Through tactical and quick moving iterations, organization, and people-centered stewardship, we established ourselves as the backbone and cultural hub for the DAO. The great thing is that the fun has just begun….

Three badges we hold on our Season 2 passport:

• Hosted and Created First Ever Guild Games --- A brainchild of the newly formed Community Guild, these week-long games were a fun and competitive way to end our season and look ahead to Season 3. Congrats again to the Product Guild All we will say is that you are lucky that the Community Guild was unbiasedly moderating the games.
• Built Onboarding Flow ---Through the creation and implementation of multiple surveys, calls, and meetings, we onboarded hundreds of people to the DAO. We received over 300 responses on our onboarding Welcome Form and hosted 20 group and individual onboarding calls. -Creation of the Guild Liaisons Role ---Formed out of a need to deepen the second phase of community onboarding, we piloted these roles as a way to take stress off the guild facilitators and have another welcoming smile when you enter the DAO and our guilds.

In addition to the above quests, we had six KRs

• Host five IRL event and host seven virtual events separate from weekly community calls, core contributor calls, and campfires. ---This KR was achieved. In the end, we hosted several dozen virtual events in addition to the requisite IRL events - many of them happening during Guild Games alone. ✅
• Help 50 new members across the DAO complete a bounty in season two. --- It is unknown if this KR was achieved exactly. 188 bounties were completed before the end of S2. It is hard to measure exactly how many people contributed. Our Clarity quest for this season should help make this more clear. ﹖
• Create and iterate on a centralized onboarding hub complete with links, videos, and other information helpful for folks new to CABIN and web3. --- This KR was achieved ✅
• Create standard operating procedures for hosting onboarding calls. --- This KR was achieved ✅
• Host an end-of-season post-mortem call to determine the best activation, engagement, and retention metrics for future community seasons to track. --- This KR was achieved through two routes. We hosted a 360 Feedback process with all of the core contributors and solicited form fill outs from the community. We also started reporting weekly metrics. ✅
