I’d summarize the first rounds of feedback to this pre-proposal, across Discord, Water Cooler chat, and this thread as…
There’re two potential ways to take this:
- An independent entity, like perhaps a foundation or non profit, that exists to focus on the protocol as a public good. They’d take on the full above scope.
- Breaking out the efforts of decentralizing the security committee, the actual operations and funding of the security committee, and core protocol development into separate initiatives.
While option one would ultimately be nice, the big question remains as to who runs this “foundation”? If they were dedicated, trustworthy, knowledgeable on Livepeer, and had enough respect within the ecosystem, then this would be a great option.
Option two is very tractable, as there are a number of independent actors, firms, vendors, tool providers, etc already in discussion for some of the individual components who could help quickly make incremental progress.
