Description:
We are planning to create a decentralized Global Community Sub-Governance Jury with a total of up to 30 participants (including the Initial Members). That is, up to 19 willing participants from the Free TON community who are willing to put in the time and efforts to study, interpret, analyze, vote, and deliver qualified feedback to contest submissions from contestants will be accepted into the Jury of the Global Community Sub-Governance.
Type:
Contest.
Application time:
23.12.2020 (00:00 UTC) – 10.01.2021 (23:59 UTC).
Voting time:
11.01.2021 (00:00 UTC) – 20.01.2021 (23:59 UTC).
Motivation:
In an effort to decentralize processes within the Free TON Global Community Sub-Governance, the Jury must be selected from the community. This will help achieve the goal of decentralized Sub-Governance.
Also, given the crisis of voting in the community and the frequent dissatisfaction of community members about it, we decided to increase the duties and responsibilities of Jury members. Accordingly, the motivational component of each contest will be taken into account, since voting is a difficult and responsible task.
Requirements for participants:
1. Candidates who would like to be Jurors should send a resume (in PDF format) describing their past experience, contact information, reputation, and a brief description of why you think you would be best suited for the Jury and why you should be selected.
2. Candidates must be members of the Free TON community and sign the Declaration of Decentralization. Preferably – active members of the Free TON community.
3. If the candidate is a current juror in the Free TON community and/or a Member of one or more Sub-Governance, candidate should be sure to provide this information with specifics.
4. If the candidate is a representative of the same company as any of the Jurors, a relative, or a team member of one of the Jurors, the candidate must disclose this with the Juror’s affiliation.
5. Candidates must include Free TON wallet address and Public Key to it on their resume. These details will be needed to enter them into the smart contract and into the voting interface. Otherwise, the submission may be rejected.
6. The candidate should have / be:
-

Conflict-free, objective view;

Rights and duties of the winner as a Jury member:
Winners will get the right to be a juror for each Free TON Global Community Sub-Governance contest going forward and get the same reward as each contest describes for jurors. The award will be distributed in fair proportion to all jury members participating in the voting who have given a mark or “Reject” other than “Abstain”, based on the quantity of votes within a specific contest.
In order to get the jury reward described in each contest, the juror must consider the following:
1. Each juror should review each contest and its requirements under “Contests Free TON Global Community Sub-Governance”;
2. The juror should review each contestant’s submission (uploaded in PDF format) and determine if each submission is within the scope of his or her understanding to judge it, and then vote as follows:
a) If outside of juror competence, the juror should vote to “Abstain”;
b) If within juror competence, the juror should vote on a scale of 1-to-10 with 1 representing least and 10 representing most qualified submissions;
c) If the submission is inappropriate, the PDF file is unopenable or corrupt, is a duplicate etc., the juror should vote to “Reject”.
3. The juror should provide constructive and qualified feedback in the appropriate field describing the reason for their score.
4. To reject the submission, only 50% +1 votes from those members of the jury who actually voted for this submission work are enough.
5. Jury members who have not voted in 2 contests in a row are automatically expelled from the jury without notice.
6. Jury members who have not voted on more than 70% of submissions in each of the 2 contests in a row are automatically expelled from the jury without notice.
7. Jury members who voted in one of the contests for 70% of submissions or less, and in the next contest did not vote at all (and vice versa), are automatically expelled from the jury without notice.
8. Jury members must fulfill other duties and / or adhere to the rules that will be described in contests.
9. Systematic violations of the rules or non-fulfillment of duties (except as indicated in paragraphs 5-7 of this section) by a member of the jury oblige the other members of the jury to vote for his expulsion.
As any civic duty dictates, every juror must remain objective to the best of his/her abilities in regard to voting, i.e., stick to the facts and the facts only, leaving any personal feelings aside.
In case the juror, his/her relative, or a member of his/her team is participating in the contest, the juror must abstain from voting for this contest. In this case, the conditions specified in paragraphs 5 and 7 of this section will not apply to the next vote of this Jury member.
Voting for new jury:
1. Each of the Initial Members Global Community Sub-Governance (they are also Jurors) can vote on your submission (candidacy) to become a juror.
2. Each juror will vote by rating each submission on a scale of 1 to 10 or can choose to reject it if it does not meet the requirements, or they can choose to abstain from voting.
3. Jurors will provide feedback for every submission.

8. An amount equal to 150% of the sum total of all total tokens awarded to contest winners (welcome bonus) will be distributed among jurors who vote and provide feedback. This percentage will be awarded on the following basis:
The percentage of tokens awarded to the jury will be distributed based on the number of votes each juror casts. For example, if one juror votes 50 times and another juror votes 5 times, the juror who votes 50 times will get 10 times more tokens than the juror who votes 5 times.
Feedback is mandatory in order to collect any rewards.
