We are excited to inaugurate the second round of RFI submissions, as part of the established RFI Procedure.
This thread will remain open for a continuous period of 45 days for community members to submit their questions through the provided template form. The questions will be ranked based on community votes/likes, with the highest-ranking questions forwarded to the Foundation. Once the current round of submissions is complete, a new round will be opened for further inquiries.
REMINDER: Please note that only posts relevant to the submission of RFIs will be allowed in the designated threads, and any unrelated posts will be subject to removal.
-Introduction: Provide an introduction that explains the purpose and scope of the RFI. This can help the reader understand the context and importance of the questions being asked.
-General questions: Include some general questions that provide background information and context for the specific topics being addressed in the RFI.
-Specific questions: Include specific questions that address the topics or issues that you want to explore in greater detail. These questions should be clear, concise, and relevant to the purpose and scope of the RFI.
-Supporting documentation: Provide supporting documentation or examples that help clarify or support the questions being asked (screenshots, diagrams, or other visual aids that help illustrate).
-Introduction: Every time an update to the platform occurs it is a surprise to everyone. There is a blog that is supposed to update us when those happen.
Metrics on different areas is difficult to account for. We need something to show specifically how many people are coming in to DCL for certain events or projects.
-General questions:
I would like to know why the Platform blogs stop in 2021? Why are these not being updated with current fixes/changes. Makes it look like a rugged project and would be beneficial for the community and outside parties.
Can a reference code option be added to the login page. This could be used for events and projects to track attendance. Would also like to see the ability to send wearables when a specific code is entered to encourage new people.
Since one of the concerns is about metrics, I’d suggest to create another specific section/question for the metrics that you would like to have access.
I would also suggest start each question with intro/context and then the actual question, or separate in multiple questions.
Overall, and besides this “form” concerns, your questions are really valuable.
Ahhh yes, you can probably disregard mine all together. They replied to me about the blogs getting updated, Awedjob inquired about the code prompt at login during the AMA recently and Jar0d is asking the questions I had about the plazas. Thank you.
-Introduction: This question seeks to understand the IP ownership of wearables
-General questions:
Could you clarify who owns the IP of wearables published in Decentraland by creators and brands?
-Specific questions:
If you give your wearables away via airdrops or at an event with a claimable in-world UI, does that transfer IP rights?
If the wearable is given out as a game reward in the way Vroomway, Knights of Antrom, Exodus, or any number of other games in DCL do, does that transfer IP rights?
if I purchase an item on secondary from someone other than the original creator, do I have ownership of the IP rights?
I will probably have follow-up questions depending on the answer to the first three questions, for example: If give aways don’t transfer IP rights, how can I, as a purchaser on the secondary market, know if what I am buying does or does not give me the right to use the IP?
-Supporting documentation
as noted in the Terms of Use section 12.4
Thanks everyone for your questionnaires! Following the procedure, we’ll still have 15 more days to upvote the different RFIs, but considering that we received two and there’s no need for a prioritization, will forward the questionnaires in advance to the Foundation and will leave this remaining 15 days in case someone wants to add something.
The 45 days period for the Foundation to answer will start counting from September 30th.
Please reach out in case you have any questions!
PS: Remember that you can follow up with the status in the RFI Tracker .
This questionnaire seeks to explore the technical feasibility of hosting events in Genesis City and WORLDs with a substantial number of users supported by external servers. The primary objective is to determine the technical requirements for hosting events with a specific number of users and whether such hosting is permissible in both Genesis City and WORLDs virtual environments.
-General Questions:
What is the current maximum user capacity for hosting events within Genesis City and WORLDs without external server support?
Are there any existing guidelines or policies in Genesis City and WORLDs regarding the use of external servers for hosting events? Please provide details if available.
Are there any scalability considerations or limitations when it comes to using external servers to support a large number of users for events in those environments?
If it is currently not possible to host events in Genesis City with external servers, do you have any plans or roadmaps for enabling this capability in the future? If so, can you provide an estimated timeline or milestones for when such a feature might become available?
-Specific Questions:
What would be the technical requirements (e.g., server specifications, bandwidth, security measures) for hosting an event with 100-500-1000 users in Genesis City and WORLDs using external servers?
Are there any recommended external server providers or partners that have been used successfully for hosting events in these virtual environments?
Could you provide insights into the cost implications of using external servers for event hosting in Genesis City and WORLDs?
What measures or safeguards are in place to ensure the security and stability of events hosted on external servers within these environments?
Are there any specific technical considerations or best practices that event organizers should adhere to when planning to use external servers in Genesis City and WORLDs?
Still 9 days to submit questionnaires before we formally forward them to the Foundation, so you could ask.
What I’d suggest is to frame the questionnaire around the “how” and the process, and not about “who”. Maybe also making it more comprehensive and talking about all “endorsed” community events.
