Introduction

In addition to the Filecoin Community Code of Conduct, this document describes additional guidelines for badgeholders and any participant in the FIL-RetroPGF-1 program. Policies in the Code of Conduct go into effect at the time they are included in the Code of Conduct and do not apply retroactively

The Code of Conduct will not cover all possible scenarios and edge cases. We ask that participants act in accordance with the spirit of the Code of Conduct and refrain from exploiting loopholes that may exist.

Code of Conduct

Badgeholders must avoid conflicts of interest where possible and mitigate their impact when not possible. We recommend over-communicating and disclosing potential conflicts of interest even when they do not warrant abstaining from a vote.

• Any actual or reasonably anticipated conflicts of interest must be disclosed in writing and prominently displayed ahead of any voting.
• Any offer for external compensation relating to delegation or external compensation pertaining to Filecoin must be promptly disclosed to the organizing committee.
• Badgeholders must not vote for organizations where they expect any portion of funds to flow to them or any projects from which they derive income.

Badgeholders must not use private voting to obscure self-dealing.

• After RetroPGF Rounds end, the organizing committee may randomly sample ballots to check for conflicts of interest.
• If a suspected self-dealing violation is filed, the organizing committee may also review the ballot of the reported badgeholder to check for conflicts of interest.

Enforcement

There are a variety of possible enforcement actions, depending on the severity and type of the offense. These will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

Change Process

The Code of Conduct, the Rules of Engagement, and any other associated documents, must only be updated during Reflection Periods or following extraordinary circumstances that require immediate updates. In all cases, a change log will be published for delegates.
