OGM Infrastructure (Evolving)

Expressed in the context of The Five Layers.

Prototype and demonstrate initial versions of OGM platform and protocols.
- Wiki for knowledge sharing, documenting and reporting
- Directories and profiles

- How OGM members should approach others
Establish needed business infrastructure
- Identify and establish needed systems and processes

- Apply for grants, create matching challenges
- Set up Fellowships
  - Define Fellowship categories & structure
  - Selection and awarding criteria
  - Equitable distribution of available funds
Set up simplest infrastructure for commercial ventures (eg, consulting, speaking)
Lionsberg will provide $15K in matching funds for OGM. OGM will reach out to potential funders and raise the seed funds to match.
Sustainability: making concrete progress against our milestones and soliciting additional funders in the second half of the Sprint will enable OGM to pave a runway that continues from Sprint to Sprint.

- Create process for supporting OGM members' own projects
- Identify critical business structures and operations
- Definition of done: Create a rubric for how we run experiments, and how we evaluate the results

Governance of OGM's emerging Commons
- Experiment with defining our membrane (what protections we need around "open")
- Experiment with collective decision-making, using at least three processes, and create a report comparing them
