Notes from the call

  • Introduction of Steering Committee:
    • Jude gave an overview of the SIP and SIP process, of which includes the governance procedures, etc. All laid out in SIP-000, that can also be altered with a SIP.
    • Jude introduced Gina who is a super long long long time OG Stacks member way back in the day who everybody knows about, she expressed her excitement about participating in this SIP process/effort.
    • Jude Steering Committee introducing what the SC is about, which is more like a steward of the blockchain than getting into all the nitty gritty of the details about each proposal. Be able to communicate well with the CABs, etc.
    • Will be adding more members to SC
    • In the future when we have more exciting things materials to talk about, we can have updates from each CAB's chairperson, which Brice the Technical CAB Chairperson agreed.
    • Overtime figuring out way to help prioritize which SIP to prioritize, the SIP that has big impact that community cares /demands most about
  • Highlights from SIP development:
    • Hero gave some highlights to the SIP development in the past month for example SIP-016 was ratified, a couple of SIPs being finalized and reviewed. And one early SIP by Setzeus got approved via the Grants Program just getting off the ground, Hero encouraged this is something we would like to see more of, community generated SIP.
    • Many working groups across the ecosystem working on different stuff like BNS, BTC Write problem, Bitcoin derivation path standard, all of which will be able to make improvements to Stacks
    • Other future development will include some things WIP like Greg's increasing bandwidth PR, micro-blocks, and some low hanging fruits etc. All of which will help things relating to speed, which Jackbinswitch posted the question to Jude on the call.
    • Further, through the recent mempool congestion, we all acknowledge better messaging, more unified messaging on L1 and L2 improvements are needed. All ongoing learning will find better way forward to communicate with the greater community.
  • Update on Stacks 2.1=SIP-015:
    • Jude gave an overview of the effort been going on in the past re Stacks 2.1, and then gave an overview what new tech Stacks 2.1 upgrade will bring. And you can follow along the devs' progress here: Time estimates for remaining 2.1 work items stacks-network/stacks-core#3096
    • The upgrade timeline been a bit delayed due to the core devs having to work on the mempool congestion making miner software upgrade asap. So the timeline on voting and activation will be pushed back to perhaps Dec
    • When the time comes, you will be able to vote via sending a tiny STX tx to a yes or a no address. Might use EcosystemDAO for voting is things are ready
    • In the Stacks 2.1 quiz/survey Jenny created that's circulating, we've asked if people wanna testout the voting mechanism by leaving their email & STX address, we will be testing and get things ready for the main voting
  • Highlights from SIP efforts:
    • Hero gave some highlights for the SIP efforts that's been achieved, such as activating 3 CABs, holding weekly calls, increasing visibility of the SIP process and participation out in the Twitter world etc.
    • Jenny mentioned Hero did all these in under 3 months time, kudos to Hero. (Thanks Jenny! <3)
    • Hero then gave some more highlights about the current and future SIP effort, thing such as getting SIP Editors process nailed down, I VOTED sticker for Stacks 2.1, etc.
    • Welcome any feedback to the SIP effort, what people think we should double down on, or do things better. Let HeroGamer know!
  • Open Q&A:

Topic: Steering Committee October Community Update

SIP call # 19 Agenda – Friday 10/28/22 (11:00am EDT) - 24 attendees

    1. Introduction of Steering Committee (5 mins)
    1. Highlights from SIP development (5 mins)
    1. Update on Stacks 2.1=SIP-015 & Review progress (35 mins)
    1. Open Q&A & Feedback (15 mins)

Notes from the call

  • Introduction of Steering Committee:

    • Jude introduced the purpose of the Steering Committee (SC)

  • Highlights from SIP development:

    • Highlighting some early SIP ideas from the community, very encouraging to see!
    • Gina mentioned it was great to see so much input/comments into SIP-015 from the community! Definitely will have more comments than last year once it's all done.
    • Setzeus was on the call therefore gave good overview of his SIP and some solutions he is exploring, had some advice from Jude to help him move on with the solution.

  • Update on Stacks 2.1=SIP-015 & Review progress:

    • Biggest on the agenda is Stacks 2.1 (SIP-015), full SIP text is out! CABs are reviewing
    • Each CABs Chairperson updated where they are with review process, mostly they are communicating in DM and will be meeting up to discuss/vote on SIP-015 very soon.
    • Jesse W mentioned if it's worth aligning the same voting method for all CABs. Generally speaking all CAB chairperson agree using the same voting method.
    • One thing was raised was there was some things that were Economics related in the SIP but Economics CAB was not assigned by the Author to review the SIP. In such circumstance another Steering Committee member could assign the Economic CAB to review should he/she feels appropriate. In this instance, Economics CAB will meet and discuss SIP-015 anyways, and if Economics CAB discover something big & relevant in the SIP, we will add Economics CAB as part of SIP-015 Consideration for formal approval.
    • Jude encourages everyone to take a look at the voting procedures text in the SIP text & Jenny's suggestion on fairer voting https://forum.stacks.org/t/suggestion-for-a-fairer-stacks-2-1-vote/13983/7
    • Jude mentioned Voting tabulation software just needs to be done by end of voting period, but the voting site can be up.
    • Invited everyone to be early tester of Stx.eco site in order to consolidate feedback to reach the final voting site design
    • All three methods ideally to start at the same time
      *non-Stacking voting power to be cap at size of 1 reward slot to preclude exchanges throwing the vote one way or the other

  • Open Q&A:

    • Max from Hiro raised questions re working group such as sBTC and other initiatives how will they be implemented via SIP or otherwise? Jude
    • L1 working group, some non-consensus changes can ship whenever, some consensus breaking changes requires a SIP. Micro-blocks improvement initiative (if long time between bitcoin blocks, Stacks chain can continue to process micro-blocks) also needs a SIP because it will be a breaking change.
    • sBTC require definitely at least 1 consensus breaking change, which will be a SIP.
    • Bitcoin NFT working group a lot they can do now doesn't need breaking change. Could be at least 1 breaking changes, which is Stacks chain to import data from bitcoin chain directly, which will save a lot of developers' efforts to make that happen.
    • Could be 2 hard forks in 2023, 1 for the sBTC peg, and the L1 stuff to bring improvements to Stacks community at faster pace
