Update on standing calls:
Hey everyone! I wanted to share a quick update after giving more thought and gathering feedback regarding the standing Delegate calls.
Focus of these calls
It still seems like a supported idea to reserve these calls as a dedicated time and space for Delegates to discuss broader topics, share updates, and engage in general planning and coordination.
Discussions around specific active proposals can be done in other calls that either Delegates or the proposal authors choose to set up.
Cadence
The new plan is to try having bi-weekly calls, rather than monthly calls. Reasoning being:
- To provide more touch points early on to help delegates build relationships and find ways to work together.
- Not every Delegate will be able to make every call, so providing more opportunities to join is important to keep momentum going on discussion
- There are already some important “bigger picture” topics to be discussed (e.g. those highlighted in @drnick’s recent post) that may be helpful to discuss as a group on the call sooner rather than later
The call cadance can be adjusted at any time per wish of the Delegates.
Time
The standing calls are currently scheduled to take place at 5:30pm CET / 11:30am ET / 8:30am PT. This time was chosen based on where the majority of the active Delegates who joined the Kickoff calls or who have been in touch otherwise are located.
Apologies to any of the Asia-based folks, as I know this gets a little late on your side (e.g. 10:30pm ICT).
Format/Agenda
As a way to try to co-coordinate the agenda, the Friday before the call I can post a thread on the forum to start collecting ideas for discussion topics to add to the agenda. Folks can add their suggested topics along with reasons for including them, and others can “upvote” by liking posts to help prioritize items for the agenda.
I will update the forum post the day of the call with the new agenda based on results from the forum. I will use that agenda as a guide to help facilitate the call.
Facilitation
I can happily facilitate this first call, but will be primarily there to present the co-currated agenda and help keep discussions moving along. Remember, this is your time and space to share thoughts and ideas with each other.
Note: Eventually, the goal is to have Delegates take over running these calls, including preparing agenda and sharing notes. Ideally, I (or someone else from the Gov Team) will still attend to help answer questions and see where support may be needed, but the Delegates will take this over and make it their own.
Recording
To simplify note-taking, I plan to record the call to generate a transcript, which I’ll condense into a summary of key points to share on the forum. The recording itself will not be shared and will be deleted after the notes are complete. If anyone has concerns about this, please let me know in advance. If you’d prefer the recordings to be saved and shared somewhere moving forward, feel free to discuss it and let me know.
Delegate Call Calendar
I have created a “ZKsync Delegate Calls” calendar which you can subscribe to here! If there are other calls you wish to add to this calendar for visibility of all Delegates, such as proposal review calls or other ZKsync Delegate-related calls, I am happy to add them to this calendar as well. Please reach out to me or tag me on the forum if you would like something to be added to the shared calendar.
As always - your thoughts, feedback and criticism are welcome!
