"A community discussion about the role Regen Registry plays in ensuring community governed credit standards drive carbon markets integrity"

Regen Registry
14

I just wanted to cross link the @Branch Out discussion and proposal that specifically focused on NCT:
https://forum.regen.network/discussion/10501-discussion-ahead-of-proposal-to-revoke-ncts-approval-by-the-regen-registry which is a case study in the role of the Registry.

To summarize the perspective that I think was reflected by my read of community engagement around the topic:

  • People are sympathetic to and agree NCT represents standards that can be improved upon.
  • The design of Regen Ledger has been to be registry agnostic, meaning its meant to be an open registry system where different communities can program in their values, methodologies and standards for creating new ecological units of account.
  • Therefore instead of a banning approach people would prefer to focus on shipping tools that allow specific credit class curation, addition of meta data from research such as branch out has undertaken with an open badge or certificate system

This is my attempt to distill what appears to be emerging consensus from voting and dialog. However it is almost certainly inaccurate and of course filtered through my own perspectives.
