Exploration Process
Equitable Systems are Economic Assets that are maintained by Equitable Interactions: Committees, Cooperatives, Services. All existing economic assets can be explored, as well as new assets not yet invented. All equitable systems must fall under one of the Necessary System categories.
Exploring assets that does not fulfill a Necessary System is allowed, but will not contribute towards the completion of the Equitable System Catalog. There is an opportunity for Unnecessary Systems to be adopted under the Community system category.
Equity Systems are designed to be used in real world scenarios, to allow all people in a community to equitably access their needs. These systems must be carefully designed to ensure safety, sustainability, and equity. This exploration space allows members to share their ideas and systems to address potential risks before being recommended for catalog adoption.
Exploration Best Practice
The best starting point for any exploration is to look at our existing systems and to explore how they would function if you replace the ownership systems with the foundational Equity Contract. This contract defines the legal requirements for people to access and labor towards the Necessary Systems equitably.
You can use this Exploration Template as a starting point.
You can use this System Glossary to understand the vocabulary.
Generative AI Warning
All information introduced into the ETC is the full responsibility of the authored person, regardless of production method. Failure to account for all produced information will risk the validity of the information. Information that cannot be trusted will be removed, and the person sharing the information will be excluded from future explorations.
Feedback Process
Once an exploration is published, it is open to the ETC for feedback. To keep this process focused and constructive, there are only three types of feedback:
- Questions provide an opportunity to fill in gaps in the exploration and provide context to decisions made, allowing everyone to have a better understand of the exploration. Before providing feedback, audiences should read through all questions first to avoid feedback duplication.
- Risks are potential hazards introduced as a result of the exploration. Explorations cannot be adopted into the Catalog if there are urgent risks that have not been addressed within the exploration or referenced in another exploration.
- Opportunities are potential benefits that can improve the exploration. Explorations can be adopted without addressing all opportunities, as they can be addressed by additional explorations without compromising the value of the current exploration.
- Explorations do have a higher chance of being adopted with additional value added to the exploration through integrated opportunities.
All feedback shared is also subject to feedback. Feedback that is not relevant or constructive to the exploration will be removed.
Approval Process
Explorations from the ETC Prototype are meant to fulfill the Sandbox Community Equitable System Catalog. Adopting explorations into a catalog for a real community will require the majority vote by elected representatives from the community. Since the Sandbox Communities are not real, the representatives are elected ETC Proto members.
The approval process is currently blocked until enough qualified members join the ETC to provide expert opinions in their respective field.
