Here you can check **t**he Working Group [Manifesto](https://docs.google.com/document/d/17MJ3zuxpRV_pHqos59AwTrB2Kv1JUVGPrdu7Adonx-4/edit). It is a live document, as the working group evolves this document is updated to reflect these changes.

These are the [**Token Engineering Ethical Principles**](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kM8H6FWvj8xHx68IFwbFmT_im5EKnxSBFI8LU5GPiWE/edit#heading=h.a647cwqdl6xx) emerging from this WG's work.

## 0mega's Goals

We want to explore Contextual Ethics in TE. As many worldviews coexist in token networks, we need to learn how to apply multiples modes of ethical reasoning. \
\
Our main goal is to capture emergent TE ethics and offer practice sessions, as well as a safe space for peers with ethical dilemmas. This way, we hope to nurture unity of TE knowledge. <br>

## Succes vs. Failure

**Succes**

* We have managed to make TE Ethics accessible without truncating the complexity of the topic.
* Both the librare and practice sessions are in demand and are being used.&#x20;

**Failure**

* We fail to close the value-action gap.
* We keep cutting corners when talking about ethics

## Roadmap

* Minimal starting point for a knowledge hub\
  \- We are now using Notion for the prototype\
  \- The initiative is called TE [Consilience Library](https://forum.tecommons.org/t/te-consilience-library-an-0mega-wg-initiative/751).
* We started our TE Ethics Participators Research with feedback from social scientists into the [appropriate methodologies](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_y2SLg44oxCm6PDS8MxXHu6mh80-M6pPREEKVIu4BIE/edit).\
  \- We devised a process that centers around collecting, researching [topics of interest](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ngUBguUdAITrNnVsum7UhjoMFUqcoFSVAj1R_yQwB2Q/edit), and conducting focus groups of max.5 participants around this topic.\
  \- Inform [TE book chapter](https://gitcoin.co/grants/798/a-hitchhikers-guide-to-token-engineering) Epilogue: An Interface to Moral Philosophy for Token Engineers

### What is the deadline?

The initiative proposals should be no longer than 2-3 month iterations at which end a useful outcome is reached, e.g. first prototype of a living library, initial principles and practice sessions.

### Working Style

“We focus on actions, not outcomes”\
\
For example: We focus on the act of collecting and curating with care. The outcome of creating a useful library will follow as a consequence. But at the same time, we are open for emergence. Maybe the outcome is something we cannot yet imagine, and way more valuable, useful than a library. And that may take, as long as it takes.
