RE: Steemit Engagement Challenge Week # 4 | Propose A New Steemit Project|| [[ My Proposal :: The Rotation Of Country Representatives ]]
Hello @chiabertrand,
I think you have started a discussion on something new that nobody was thinking. I congratulate you for starting discussion on something unique, although I would like to also shed some light on the pros and cons of implementing this.
Pros:
New people who are creating quality content, guiding their country members, and showing responsibility towards their community will start getting opportunities to work for their respective country members.
Rotation among the CRs make the person (who has been given the opportunity of serving their country members) conscious of their decisions as they cannot then use their powers for their personal gains.
Cons:
Old members know who their country representative is and they are always depending on them to clear their doubts on things they don't get, so if something is bothering them, they know who to contact for getting solution to their problems.
New members are hard to retain and this cannot be made possible if the leadership is always changing. But, as we are not an organization that is always analyzing the performance of the new and old leaders, we cannot be taking decisions that will hamper the growth of the country's communities and its members.
I hope we start a healthy discussion on this matter with all of the concerning members of Steemit platform.
Thanks again for starting this discussion.
Hello @cryptogecko,
Thanks so much for going through my article and living behind your insights about my suggested project
Well, you have given the pros and cons about rotating country representatives and I agree with you vividly well but let's discuss on some of the cons you gave
I can say here that they are also vibrant members in a community/country that a lot of Steemians look up to but they aren't country representatives.. so when rotating country representatives, I believe it's the members of the various communities together with the steemit team that always vote on who will be the next CR( let's say 50% votes from the members of the community and 50% from steemit team). Remember that it will be rotational and some country representative may be call up to continue serving their Communities. this will make them to put in more efforts since it will be rotational
So for some one to be selected as a CR, I believe he/she will strive to work hard so as he could be call to continue serving as CR on the next 1-yr mandate.. Just like this curator team that is ongoing, we see that it's rotational monthly, we have also seen how the selected curator teams are doing effective and efficient work so as to gain trust from the steemit team in other for them to be call up again
I believe this idea will work because all the chosen CR will work extra hard to bring growth and development to their Communities during their reign and this will in turn enable the entire steemit platform to grow at a rampant rate
Not changing constantly brother, that is why I suggested a 1 year period not a 1month period. I believe this will work out effectively because they are alot of users who can also carry out this job in a great way.. so let the steemit team also give them chance
They are also countries that don't have CR at all, they are also countries that don't have enough CR because some of the appointed CR stepped down from their duties long time ago. So I believe all this gaps need to be filled so as to ensure the smooth functioning of Communities/countries concern
Very well put brother. I am a person who comes from a country which does not have any CR as of now.
I would like that the Steemit team gives this opportunity to new members of our country too. I want see my country grow like other countries are.
It's quit unfortunate that a big country like India don't have any active country representative because i see all your CR had long stepped down. I know of other countries without a CR as well. We hope the steemit team look into this
Yes, a country with a population of more than a billion and so many opportunities of getting them onboardedon our platform and use this opportunity to get our blockchain to new heights is the need of this hour and I don't see that happening until and unless a strong leadership is formed.
