Forum Voting

Off-chain decision making process dedicated to cultural agreements and signaling polls.

About

Cultural agreements are like the law we decide to build together. Many of this agreements emerge from the community interactions and many are proposed to address specific needs. It's very important to have a process for creating, managing and changing this collective law. The Forum Voting together with the Advice Process provide an accessible place to look into our cultural agreements addressing Ostrom's 3rd principle: Collective Choice Arrangements. Conviction Voting is capable of hosting such proposals, but it's highly recommended to use the off-chain Forum Voting process to lower cost, overhead and keep the CV clear for funding purposes.
