[governance] RE: [bestbits] Call for Transparency Process for 1Net

[Anja Kovacs]

Hi Michael and all,

Regarding the summary and forum/website, I am happy to find out more about
how they were financed. I can share with you already that both were shared
with the 1net SC before they were shared with the larger list. To my
knowledge there was little involvement of the SC in their conceptualisation
until after their launch. The SC has since been making suggestions on how
to improve both, and this is being worked on now (for example, there have
been requests by many to try and provide functionality that would allow a
user to interact with the forum completely through email, in which case for
that particular user the experience would actually not be very different
than it is now). I foresee that these will continue to evolve over the
weeks to come.

Hope this is helpful, and I'll get back to you as soon as I find out more.

Best,
Anja
