Stewardship Assistance Request
Outline a general protocol that organizations could follow to request stewardship assistance:
Perform a stewardship gap analysis:
Map out all dimensions of stewardship required to effectively address a particular issue (e.g. biodiversity, climate change etc).
Analyze the organization's internal skills, resources, capacity to identify stewardship gaps.
Prioritize the gaps where assistance is most needed.
Create a stewardship request:
Write up a summary of the top stewardship needs that exceed internal capabilities.
Provide relevant background details on the broader issue and goals.
Suggest specific types of collaborators likely able to fill the gaps.
Publish request on blockchain:
Encode stewardship request as transaction metadata or store off-chain.
Attach to organization's steward profile smart contract.
Notify relevant stakeholders of new request.
Evaluate responses:
As other groups offer assistance, assess fit and impact potential.
Iterate on the request details as needed.
Coordinate fractalization:
Once good collaborators found, fractalize stewardship responsibilities between them.
Leverage blockchain to provide transparency and traceability in the shared efforts.
The goal is to lower barriers to effectively signaling stewardship needs and enabling complementary groups to dynamically self-organize around addressing them. Blockchain and smart contracts can facilitate this at scale.
