About this idea
The solution will be a discord server to test alternative goverance and identity solutions.
In Catalyst as proposer, Advisor, Challenge team. Cardano Evangelist, Admin in discord. 50+ Proposals submitted, 1 funded, 50% delivered.
The plan is to address many items listed in the Problem Sensing section of ideascale:
https://cardano.ideascale.com/a/dtd/CA-scores-and-reason/380557-48088,
and here is the list of high priority items identified by Catalyst Cirlce:
https://github.com/Catalyst-Circle/Catalyst-Prioritized-Problems/issues
This proposal will build multiple mechanisms and templates to address the problems in ideascale and within the Catalyst ecosystem with accountability, transparency, audibility, feasibility, and scalability as guiding principals.

We will have tested 2 governance models and one identity solution for a small group of proposals.
