For details, check out the slides. The rest of the meeting was spent discussing the future of: _…the Index Council_ Everyone chipped in on a [jamboard](https://jamboard.google.com/d/1Nna29z68UYbgnt_gQHncTtasOLDykmuF8a75ym1AlpY/viewer?f=0) with questions and topics regarding the first term of the Index Council to. This information sourced from contributors will be used in future workshops to evaluate theCouncil, provide them an opportunity to address win and challenges, and help Index Coop tackle difficult issues in Season 1 and beyond. The [poll on the February 28th’s term end for Index Council](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/index-council-28-feb-term-end-poll/3811) and forum post are open and everyone is welcome to share their thoughts . _…the Discord_ The Community Nest strongly supports evolving community and contributor relations with the division of our current Discord into two separate servers, with pros/cons delineated on the [slides](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1rPJ3PKBao8aYDQWKajdoE1fG39V_4hEm6atUH0zSQJw/edit?usp=sharing) and in the [forum post](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/index-coop-discord-split-community-discussion-request-for-feedback/3833). The forum post invites continued discussion. Community Nest sought feedback in [this Mural](https://app.mural.co/t/bradsworkspace1906/m/bradsworkspace1906/1642448869296/3621077f8bcef8c414c98d0e6b673ae3e2c32cbb?sender=ucead29d3ed61e388c7414884) about how strongly contributors felt for/against splitting the Discord. The majority of contributors were in favor of two Discord servers. “for” than “against.” Discussion centered around open vs. closed-source, a philosophical and practical topic for DAOs. While a Discord split would create some sort of gate to contribution in our DAO, making us not fully open-source. That said, several contributors voiced their reality: important conversations are not currently being held in our public Discord server. Group DMs have already being used to avoid confusing customers/community members. This means that we are already not fully open-source, even before the proposed Discord division. According to @anthonyb.eth, the Discord split may allow us to become more open-source, as important conversations may be able to happen more publicly in a contributor Discord server. The [forum post](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/index-coop-discord-split-community-discussion-request-for-feedback/3833) has been updated to include a poll. Next steps: - If in favor, commence the split (with aim to complete by the end of February). - If against, revise the project to focus on improving community UX with role selection. **Thursday Meetings:** (UTC/1-hr, UON) [1500](https://meet.google.com/tny-ypnq-thg) - Governance Nest [1600](https://discord.gg/cH2fnsUu)- BD Office Hours [1600](https://meet.google.com/oaq-tejp-dho) - Women +NB in Index [1700](https://meet.google.com/yku-vkdk-ius) - Design Pod [2000](https://meet.google.com/pgd-zjxj-hme) - Growth Nest **Daily Owlpha:** _“When you invite people into an impact network or DAO, you’re not inviting them into “your thing” - you’re inviting them into co-creating what is possible, now that they’re a part of the community.”_ - [@davidehrlichman](https://twitter.com/davehrlichman/status/1491186906943864836?s=20&t=3iqgtlwkkbOKrWPdMTeIJg) Hoot Hoot! - @coolhorsegirl
