Initiative Proposal: OpenCivics Labs MVP Capacity-Building Workshop for Allo.Capital

1. Initiative Name: MVP Capacity-Building Workshop for Allo.Capital

2. Lead Organization: OpenCivics Labs

3. Partner Organization: Allo.Capital

4. Initiative Goal: The goal of this initiative is to conduct an MVP capacity-building workshop for Allo.Capital to define initial Request for Proposal (RFP) pipelines, Raid formation, and basic agreement fields prior to DAO formation for collaboration, payment, and profit-sharing within the network, while also focusing on internal mechanisms for client discovery and business development.

5. Objectives:

  • Establish a clear framework for RFP pipelines to streamline project funding within the network.
  • Develop a structured approach to Raid formation to facilitate autonomous, task-oriented work groups.
  • Define fundamental agreement fields that will govern collaboration, payment structures, and profit-sharing mechanisms.
  • Implement internal mechanisms for client discovery and business development to ensure sustainable growth.

6. Workshop Format & Key Activities:

  • Session 1: RFP Pipeline Definition
    • Mapping initial RFP requirements and workflows
    • Identifying key stakeholders and evaluation criteria
    • Establishing review and decision-making processes
    • Integrating client discovery mechanisms to align funding opportunities with market needs
  • Session 2: Raid Formation & Coordination
    • Understanding Raid structures and best practices
    • Designing an onboarding and operational framework
    • Mapping coordination tools and governance structures
    • Exploring business development strategies within Raid teams
  • Session 3: Agreements for Collaboration, Payment & Profit-Sharing
    • Establishing core principles for network participation
    • Drafting modular contract templates for engagement
    • Exploring profit-sharing models and incentive mechanisms
    • Aligning business development incentives with network agreements

7. Expected Outcomes:

  • A structured RFP process tailored for Allo.Capital’s ecosystem.
  • Defined Raid structures that enable decentralized collaboration.
  • A set of foundational agreements to guide network interactions, ensuring transparency and equitable value distribution.
  • A clear framework for client discovery and business development that integrates with network operations.

8. Target Participants:

  • Allo.Capital core contributors
  • Community members interested in governance and project funding
  • Potential Raid leaders and ecosystem partners

9. Timeline:

  • Week 1: Pre-workshop stakeholder consultations
  • Week 2: Workshop execution (3 sessions, each 2-3 hours)
  • Week 3: Initial synthesis and feedback
  • Week 4: Integration of revisions and final synthesis
  • Week 5: Presentation of final RFP pipeline, Raid structure, agreement templates, and business development mechanisms

10. Success Metrics:

  • Completion of at least one functional RFP pipeline prototype
  • Consensus on Raid formation structure and implementation roadmap
  • Adoption of initial agreements within Allo.Capital’s governance framework
  • Defined client discovery and business development strategies

11. Resource Needs:

  • Facilitation team from OpenCivics Labs
  • Input and feedback from Rena and Kevin
  • Collaboration tools and digital workspace
  • Documentation and synthesis support

12. Strategic Importance: This initiative aligns with the broader mission of OpenCivics Labs and Allo.Capital by laying a foundational structure for decentralized capital allocation and governance. The outputs of this workshop will serve as a scalable model for further refinements and ecosystem-wide adoption, while also strengthening the network’s internal business development capabilities.

13. Proposed Team:

  • Patricia Parkinson, OpenCivics Labs
  • Scott Morris, OpenCivics Labs x Allo.Capital Contributor
  • Benjamin Life, OpenCivics Labs x Allo.Capital Research & Intel

14. Proposed Budget:

  • $2000 USDC prep and mapping
  • $1500 USDC per workshop x3 = $4500 USDC
  • $3000 USDC synthesize and refine outputs
  • Total: $9500 USDC

15. Next Steps:

  • Secure stakeholder commitments and finalize participation list
  • Develop pre-read materials and onboarding documentation
  • Schedule and execute workshop sessions
  • Iterate on outputs based on participant feedback

This proposal serves as a roadmap for OpenCivics Labs and Allo.Capital to co-develop a minimum viable governance and funding infrastructure prior to DAO formation that supports early iterations of decentralized, transparent, and community-driven capital allocation mechanism design and business development.

Looking good @omniharmonic - @T_W’s DAO Design proposal on Raids that we’re shipping for this version of the protoDAO may fit in nicely here.

This feels more like a ‘RFP Pipeline’ raid but understand there’s some nuance in how people are approaching the definition and execution. Either way I’m supportive and excited to see this over the finish line in the next 5 weeks if we move forward. @owocki and community wdyt?

Thank you for the positive feedback! We’ve got an epic crew here in Bali (Patricia Parkinson, Scott Morris, myself and hopefully Feems) together for the next five days with a rare opportunity for IRL collaboration to kick things off.

If we can get a written confirmation on the proposal (or any modifications thereof) in the next day or two, we’re ready to start sprinting. I don’t mean to rush the process, but we’ve got a short window to confirm if we want to utilize this in-person time on this raid/sprint!

Given where we’re at with funding and the protodao being summoned - will ask for forgiveness later. Ship it @omniharmonic - my expectations are that there will be regular updates and the timeline is adhered to in the best of your work. In addition you’re bringing others along within the community as best fit.

I’ve shipped a number of RFPs/Briefs this week and would like to see those see the light of day. Additionally working on a V0 of the protodao design w/ the experiments we’re running so will keep the community and the group as up to date as I can based on your prompting.
