01FP-06 The Association's Community Engagement and Partnership Policy. 1. Community Interaction: Open Forums: Monthly or quarterly open forums will be conducted, allowing members and non-members to discuss, share feedback, and voice concerns. This ensures active community participation and transparency. Blockchain Record: Key insights, feedback, and decisions from these forums will be timestamped on the blockchain, preserving the integrity and authenticity of community interactions. 2. Partnership Protocols: Due Diligence: Any external entity wishing to partner with The Association must undergo thorough due diligence. The main criteria will be the potential partner's alignment with The Association's values, especially regarding decentralization, transparency, and community engagement. Smart Contracts: All partnerships will be codified using smart contracts, ensuring clarity in terms, mutual obligations, and contingencies. This minimizes disputes and ensures smooth collaboration. 3. Community Development Initiatives: Education: The Association will periodically host workshops, webinars, and courses on crypto, blockchain, and other relevant topics to foster an educated community. Project Support with Association Coins: Individual board members of The Association have the discretion to allocate and contribute their Association Coins towards supporting community-driven projects or initiatives. This decision rests solely with each board member, allowing for diversified support and growth within the community. 4. Feedback Mechanism: Blockchain-Based Feedback: Community members can submit feedback or suggestions directly on a dedicated blockchain platform. This guarantees the authenticity of feedback and ensures that voices are heard without intermediaries. Periodic Reviews: The Association will conduct periodic reviews of its policies, governance, and community engagement strategies based on accumulated feedback, ensuring dynamic evolution in line with community needs. 5. Crisis Management: Decentralized Decision Making: In times of crises or significant events, emergency community consultations will be triggered. The collective decision, reached via a consensus mechanism, will be acted upon. Transparency Post-Crisis: Any crisis management steps taken will be detailed and timestamped on the blockchain, ensuring that The Association remains accountable to its community.
