Constitution Referendum Series — Week 1
Welcome to EOS Alliance! We serve under our mission — Empowering EOS For All — to help inform community members and provide a platform for collaborative decision making.
Our first initiative is the open Constitution Referendum Series — a twelve week organization framework for anyone to help shape the future of EOS. We aim to encourage community members towards producing widely accepted constitution drafts for referendum vote.
Week 1 involves outreach about the series, allowing all community members a chance to learn and understand how they can become involved.
What You Need to Know
Anyone may start by attending one of our open video conference calls offered during Week 2. Each call will cover the same content; please choose and attend only one call to leave room for other community members.

Video conference goals:
- Teach participants how to take an article of constitution and break it down to lower level: extracting values, core beliefs, and design principles. See current constitution design principles here.
- Organize community members into 5–7 person working groups for Week 3, to break down individual constitution articles to their design principle level.

We are SEEKING VOLUNTEERS:
- EOS Alliance volunteer form for anyone who would like to do work with the Alliance.
- Want to stream video calls and write summaries on your own channels? Sign up here to volunteer — we will publish your broadcast information on our channels to help community members find all summary options.
If you are unable to attend a video conference call, please follow along through summaries and videos. Further opportunities could come available at certain checkpoints throughout the Constitution Referendum Series.
Full Series Schedule:
Week 1: Announce series, distribute information about Week 2 video conference calls.
Week 2: Open video conference calls multiple times per week in English, Chinese and Korean; help form working groups of 5–7 members.
Week 3: Working groups of 5–7 members break down individual constitution articles into their design principle level. Publish summaries of findings.
Week 4: Continue working groups and discover common values, design principles, and core beliefs between current v1 constitution and v2 proposal from Daniel Larimer.
Week 5: Establish design clusters — the most important 2–3 values and principles to work from for building articles of a v3+ constitution.
Week 6–9: “Articles and Explanations” — working groups build candidate constitution drafts from design clusters.
Week 10: Revise, publish and distribute candidate constitutions.
Weeks 11–12: Community members openly campaign for their constitution of choice.
After this process, it will be time to VOTE for our EOS constitution. All draft versions will be put up for token holder vote after week 12 via the referendum system.
Winning constitution is the first to receive 15% token holder vote for 30 days, within a 120 day window.
Coming soon — professional translation of this announcement into Chinese and Korean.
