Contributor Role Proposal: Placemaker (Phil Levin)
Phil Levin would like to propose the following CabinDAO contributor role with the title of Placemaker for themselves:
Role length
3 months to start, extendable if everyone is stoked.
Role description
I would help bring to life the physical manifestation of Cabin DAO's decentralized city.
Muggle analogue: Maybe "real estate developer" ?
My job is to bring clarity and flesh out detail around the idea that Cabin DAO is building a decentralized city of physical nodes linked to an online community.
And once that's clear, I'd put machinery into place (e.g. projects, bounties) where the members of the DAO can contribute to the effort.
Also, I'd help us LARP harder as a city-state. KPIs: Lolz and memes.
Core responsibilities (first 3 months)
- Facilitate discussion and create alignment within the DAO on what we mean by "decentralized city" and how it might operate in practice.
- How do the physical nodes interact with the online community?
- How many nodes do we want over time? How will we acquire/finance/manage them?
- How will the nodes be used in future seasons? Who gets to use them? What does Cabin DAO get in return?
- What's the legal framework?
- Break down plan into a series of Projects and Bounties for next 1-2 seasons
- Establish norms of usage at Hill Country e.g. Welcome Guide for guests
- Pursue further development of the Hill Country node (e.g. new cabins?)
- Engage with other groups interested in creating physical spaces associated with Cabin network
- Get our remaining Season 2 Passports sold
