Have questions or want more details? Check out the project doc where the "court team" is organizing some of the project (docs.google.com/document/d/1…), contact us here, or join us at one of our regular Validator Commons calls. validatorcommons.org
Now we're going to start running these jury sessions more regularly. By signing up through the form (forms.gle/XnNc6iEpy7Ukpvar9), you'll join a pool of other validators and MIGHT get called to serve in one of our future juries. Don't worry, we'll confirm with you first.
Our first pilot was for ATOM 2.0, see the results here: xitter.cf/validatorcommon/status…
The jury is out (literally) on ATOM 2.0. The jurors of our first validator jury have made their recommendation: vote YES. Read more at validatorcommons.org/Validat…
This jury system is designed to save validators time (because you don't have to participate in or evaluate EVERY governance proposal, only the ones you get randomly assigned) and to improve the quality of governance decisions.
During each conversation, a neutral moderator will bring in "expert witnesses", often the proposers themselves, to answer questions posed by the validators. Afterwards, the validators gather together to make a joint, public recommendation about the proposal(s).
Validator juries are a new governance mechanic being piloted by the Validator Commons. They bring together small, randomly-selected groups of validators (the "jury") to have intimate, private conversations about upcoming governance proposals.
If you're a validator on Cosmos that cares about governance, sign up for a future validator jury. 50 USD per session, plus "the best conversation I've ever had in Cosmos governance" according to a previous juror. forms.gle/sYCDxwANRkRArehE7

BE (SLIGHTLY) EVIL
"Slightly evil defense of a subculture requires realism: letting go of eternalist hope and faith in imaginary guarantees that the New Thing will triumph."

podcast on Paradox of Democracy @ezraklein
'In order to live up to its name democracy must be open to free communication and expression; yet that very feature opens democracies up to the forces of chaos, fragmentation and demagoguery that undermine them'

INSTITUTIONS
"the failure to build deliberative institutions on top of the "parliament of PoW miners"
"blockchain governance would be considerably improved if miners had a formal way to delegate their power to a structured institution that represented them."
sounds like dPoS?
