Hey @RikaGoldberg thank you for the proposal. I read the retrospective from the previous version and I really appreciate the way you integrated those key lessons to improve the current one. I think that we should give the possibility to newcomers to both get familiar with the DAO and to be connected to protocols or delegates, this bootcamp seems to go in that direction. I just have a few questions here (some only out of curiosity) after going through the proposal and the final report:
- I read the feedback from participants and the available data on the results of the program, however I would like to know if you could provide more info about the long-term results of the program. How many participants have actually actively entered and integrated the DAO? How many took part in it and then didn’t pursue? I’m asking this cause I think that it’s a key element to evaluate the success of the previous version
- during the bi-weekly call it was mentioned that V2 wasn’t going to focus on newcomers only, aiming to bring diversity among applicants. My question here is: how do you intend to diversify levels in order for everyone to make progress?
- I also echo some other comments concerning the selection process. How do you intend to provide transparency? Do you have specific criterias and scores?
- here (Onboarding Pilot Program: Final Report (Milestone 3)) you say that “we realized that writing a proposal may not be the most effective final deliverable for Fellowships. ****[…]Therefore it’s likely unreasonable to expect that newcomers, with very little context, will be able to write a quality proposal in only three months.”, however I see that this was kept among the practical exercises. It’s actually just a detail but I was interested in knowing why (or maybe you just require participants to draft it without being a high-quality one)
- What’s your plan to help this bootcamp get visibility? Do you intend to make any changes or improvements compared to the previous version?
Apart from these questions, I think that this initiative is really interesting and I’m looking forward for it to be approved!
