DReps Open Debate

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Create the space for an open debate, both for dReps and the community. The event will be held once per fund and will provide dRepps the opportunity to talk about relevant topics for the community.

E.x Developers, community building, social impact.

Topics will be chosen by the community through an open and transparent voting process. Giving all speakers equal opportunities to expose their ideas. The event will have its moderators to ensure a high-quality debate between drepps and give everyone equal opportunities to express their ideas.

The event will be hosted in Zoom and Streamed on YouTube

Event Structure:

Part 1: Consists of a quick paced debate through different community chosen topics. Depending on the amount of dRepps speaking we ll create more equally sized rooms for debates.

Part 2: Consists of a Q & A section for community questions to dRepps.

Closure: After Part 2 there will be a short closure speech and the event will finish.

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

An open Cardano event of this characteristics will bring exposure to dRepps, allowing the Cardano community to learn more about dRepps and Liquid democracy, which will lead to a bigger number of dRepps participating in Catalyst.

This debate could also work as a test to ensure that dRepps are capable of communicating their ideas and provide clear knowledge about their work.

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

Main Risks could be low participation by the community and dRepps. We don’t see that as a problem since our team has built strong connections with big actors around the Cardano community. (Swarm, Foundation, IOG, Emurgo) This way we can guarantee strong actor's attendance at the event.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.
