In January 2024, Jeancarlo Barrios, Juan Carlos Ramos, Juan Fernando Ramos, and Brian Weinberg initiated “The Road to $1,” a study to assess and enhance the Regen Network’s value and traction. This initiative aims to tackle critical challenges such as decentralization issues, leadership gaps during transitions, inadequate public metrics, and fragmented strategic directions, which have been topics of discussion in the Tokenomics Working Group forum since late 2023. To address these challenges in line with the Regen Network’s ethos, we propose the formation of a Regen Network Council. This council will play a crucial role in improving network governance, operational efficiency, and strategic growth. The first and primary focus of the council will be to develop a constitution that ensures effective management of the network and leverages public goods to support regenerative development across communities governed by token holders. Guidelines and recommendations over initial first steps, including the creation of a Council [Proposal](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ReqKhS33yqdQk8MswI_xP2hf7V1mXt74dkFRAkmkV1s/edit) Reference discussion thread ---

Do you have a clear idea of: The number of members of the council needed to develop the constitution ensuring effective management of the network? ---

I think it’s worth looping back through this report back from Will. [https://commonwealth.im/regen/discussion/17039-regen-constitution?focusEditor=true](https://commonwealth.im/regen/discussion/17039-regen-constitution?focusEditor=true) I think the main matter here is generating a proposed council group, and then socializing that specific group, associated with a group account on regen ledger (until we have DAODAO working) with a governance proposal. I believe that ratifying the “constitutional counsel” at the network governance level will provide relevance, clarity and a clear remit for that group, and is best practice at this stage. ---

In order to move forward I’d suggest a council structure, where we have 1 representative of each stakeholder group - Regen Foundation (probably as the main steward organization in the network) - $REGEN Investor (long-term, impact-focused) - Environmentalist / Eco activist (link to the broad movement, might be a scientist or a public person as well) - Local project developer (e.g. csDAO, or eco credit developer) - Dapp Developer / Engineer (probably from RND) - Lender / Validator / Staker to the pool (short-term, profit-driven) Maybe also a person with legal expertise, to oversee relations with states. When we agree on the stakeholder groups – we can collectively nominate people to provide them with trust and mandate to make decisions. ---

Question: is what we are talking about more of a Secretariat? “1. a. an office responsible for the secretarial, clerical, and administrative affairs of a legislative body, executive council, or international organization.” Other synonyms are: agency bureau department ministry administrative agency administrative department administrative office government department government office ---
