What is this about?

The topic revolves around the bi-weekly Grants & Governance workshop in the Arbitrum ecosystem, which was announced by Shawn16400¹. The workshop, open to all delegates and contributors, focuses on problem-solving and identifying next steps. The recent workshop held on 08.15.2023 was summarized by Manugotsuka², with the main discussion points being Delegate’s Incentives, Arbitrum Licenses, and Forum Timing.

How is the community reacting?

The community is actively participating in these workshops, with approximately 11 participants in the recent one². The members are encouraged to provide comments and pose questions, particularly on the SeedLatam RFC-2 proposal regarding Delegate’s Incentives. There was also a debate on the trustworthiness of Offchain Labs in relation to the issuance of Arbitrum Licenses. A suggestion was made for a quarterly system for forum timing, but the discussion remained incomplete due to time constraints².

Why this is positive?

The workshops provide a platform for open discussion and problem-solving within the community. The active participation and engagement of the members, as well as the encouragement for comments and questions, foster a collaborative environment. The workshops also aim to identify next steps, which shows a forward-thinking approach. The appreciation shown by Shawn16400 towards Manugotsuka's efforts in summarizing the workshop⁴ and the promise to post the video of the workshop⁴ indicate a commitment to transparency and inclusivity.

Why this is negative?

The only negative aspect noted was the incomplete discussion on the suggestion for a quarterly system for forum timing due to time constraints². This indicates that there might be a need for better time management during the workshops to ensure all topics are adequately covered.
