Questions and concerns about DFINITY Foundation working "beyond core protocol"

[justmythoughts]

@diegop

Can you clarify this point that Jan made a couple months back?

Motion Request for Neuron Indexing

The foundation considers a motion proposal by the community a mandate to work on a topic and feed that topic into the roadmap process. As part of that process, a topic is first scoped, meaning it is investigated what the topic actually entails and how it can be realised. Part of that scoping is a conversion on this forum and then eventually another motion proposal to agree on the scope. We are preparing a blog post on how the foundation aims to manage the roadmap and how to work with the commun…

Also, there was talk of a “blog post” that would be released on this subject.

Motion Request for Neuron Indexing

A blog post in the the works on this.

I think a lot of this “pushback” from the community is coming from either a big miscommunication, or a flip-flop of DFINITY’s position in terms of it’s relationship to the community and the NNS.

We’re all just trying to find out where DFINITY stands with respect to the community, and to the NNS.

• What are DFINITY’s mandates to the community and the NNS (are there any?)
• What are the activities that it partakes in to oblige the community (but does not feel it is mandated to do so and could refuse).

It would be nice if communications at DFINITY could draw these lines for us.
