UPDATE:
TL;DR: Anyone can help run this community call thing. @nickvasilich is your man if you want to help out. Details in post below.

TL;DR: The Community here at Incognito may have a voice but now there may be weekly calls held BY the community meeting together. Get questions answered, decentralize the organization, and seed a strong basis for decentralization in the future (DAO?).
Now the longer version of the plan for this below.
Why: Why bother with this? The Incognito Community is strong, but the community’s ability to coordinate could be improved. There are also some things that are easier worked through and discussed by voice rather than on forums or messenger/social. For these sorts of things the weekly Community call is the way that any issues, concerns, or questions can be raised and addressed (if there is a need for a Core Team member at the call, they will join us on request)! This is NOT an AMA (ask me anything) where the whole purpose of the call is to ask what Incognito core team has been doing (that is for the PRV Holders call). This is more like a “social club” or “community forum” that unites crypto/privacy/tech geeks on the things that are most important to them. There may be planned items to coordinate among the community and not require any Incognito Core members.
Who:
-
- Community:
- The mob: As many people who can or want to attend to engage in dialog
- The moderator(s): One or ideally more community members that have the availability to plan, coordinate, and run the call. I (Robyn) will be the first host, co-hosting with @cusdt.eth. Hopefully other hosts will be able to join in the future to run the calls (Reach out to @nickvasilich if you are interested in helping with this, there hasn’t been a formal process around this yet, so propose ideas on this!)…
-
- Incognito Core:
- The coordinator: @nickvasilich will be taking this role on. He will be responsible for making sure that any other Incognito Core members are on the call (if needed). And Nick will make sure that any action for Incognito Core Team is taken to the appropriate people.
- The guests (the best fit for calls): We’re aiming to have a guest speaker for most of the calls, e.g. a participant of the Builders program revealing his progress, an active community member looking for feedback or support from the whole community, etc. If a Core team representative is needed based on the main discussion point selected by the community, we’ll invite them beforehand to answer the question that the community requests. Note these “guests” mainly should be people outside of the Incognito Core… let’s think outside the box on this…
When:
- How often: Every week (day of the week and time will vary based on the availability of the moderators and coordinator, but the goal is to have one every week)
- Next Meeting (Community picks, most popular is the one to go with). Convert to your local time.
- TBD (targeting a 45 minute long meeting, with an extra 15 mins if needed)
- Next Meeting (Community picks, most popular is the one to go with). Convert to your local time.
- TBD based on poll in comments below in this thread.
How:
- Meetings will be run through Zoom. I know not the most Web3/decentralized solution, but we work with what we have at this point.
- Audio: Participants are encouraged to use voice if they are comfortable since this will allow for easier discussion and discourse on topics. If all communication is on typing messages, then this could just be done on the forums or Telegram.
- Video: Default off due to privacy concerns.
- Recording: Default off due to privacy concerns. The meeting will be not be recorded due to privacy concerns and lack of participation due to concerns.
- Opsec: Since people are taking openly standard opsec best practices are recommended. If you would like to use a pseudonym or your real name this is up to you. I will be Robyn Fitzooth (pseudonym) per normal. Resources for those that want to understand why this is useful, or understand opsec best practices. Here is a good starting point for some opsec resources to learn:
- Wikipedia Opsec: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operations_security Thanks @nickvasilich
- DEF CON 22 - Zoz: https://youtu.be/J1q4Ir2J8P8 Thanks @Matt6412
Post in the thread below if you have better resources to recommend on this!
Note: This has been a collaboration so far with @cusdt.eth, @nickvasilich, and @RobynFitzooth as time marches on, the plan is that this will be updated to reflect the feedback and input of the community.
