+# Proposition
+
+DAO Revenues: Farming + Public Staking Vault Revenues
+   1. A % of POU revenues go to the vault wallet (e.g. 10%)
+   2. Vault revenues are distributed to the DAO voters after each complete quarter (e.g. 4 times per year)

+# Idea
+
+We should have a program that everyone working at TF has and runs a 3node. If everyone at TF knows how to run a node, it means it's simple enough for the crowd. And we practice what we preach.
+
+# Benefits
+
+This would mean the whole TF team knows inside-out our products and we are truly decentralized. 
+
+# TF Closed Network
+
+We would have 3Nodes of all team members create a private TF network
+
+We can use the new Mycelium function that creates encrypted safe network between nodes to implement a closed-circuit encrypted network of all TF nodes.
+
+# Grants?
+
+TF members/employees can do DIY or we send them certified node. This could be part of the grant program.
+
+# Think Big
+
+Once we should how to be 100% decentralized & autonomous as a single community-based entity (ThreeFold), we can show this to other entities (enterprises, corporations, depin organization, etc.). 
+
+# Phases
+
+We see different phases and where this could go
+
+- Phase 0: We already have at least +5 team members who have nodes
+- Phase 1: grant for everyone in team to have diy or certified node
+- Phase 2: mycelium private network between nodes
+- Phase 3: Communal nextcloud (or other?) complete web suite (to replace gdrive), CI/CD, AI bots, git hosting all on private grid.
+- Phase 4: Synthesis of all procedures and documentation to achieve this
+- Phase 5: Commercial service offering: can implement our system to any IT/web enterprises so they go fully decentralized
+
+# Final Outcome
+
+Any enterprise can have a private network of a complete Internet web suite (all apps, data never lost, never corrupted, etc.) built for them and they can host the servers themselves at different locations (e.g. each employee has a node at their home, together the nodes are the enterprise's private network ran on mycelium).
+
+# Link with 99.9% Uptime Project
+
+We use the grid ourselves as an entity so we try first hand what organizations will experience by using our services. 
+
+If we have issues we go through the same route an external entity would use (e.g. alerta.io, etc.) and fix the issues. This makes us understand well our escalation matrix and make sure we are able to answer any queries.
+
+The whole ecosystem is of two parts in that case:
+
+- Client
+   - TF as an entity using the grid (private network of nodes)
+- Cloud
+   - TF as a cloud provider offering the services to the TF as an entity part
+
+Once we know inside out how to do client-cloud relationship + work, we can offer this to any entity out there:
+
+> Own and grow your own Internet private network for your company/organization/entity

+# TFGrid3 Community Code of Conduct
+
+This document outlines the values and principles that guide our community interactions and collaborations.
+
+## Our Community Values
+
+### Mutual Respect
+
+We are committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.
+

+
+We identify as "a Planet People first community" - individuals who prioritize the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants above all else. This means:
+
+- We make decisions with consideration for their environmental impact
+- We value sustainable solutions and long-term thinking
+- We recognize our responsibility as stewards of technology to create systems that benefit the planet and humanity
+- We understand that our work has real-world implications beyond code and infrastructure
+
+### Positive Attitude
+
+We maintain a positive outlook and constructive approach, even when facing challenges:
+

+
+### Diversity and Safety
+
+We recognize and celebrate that:
+
+- Everyone is different and brings unique perspectives and strengths
+- Different people have different needs to feel safe and comfortable
+- Some community members, including many engineers, may be sensitive to harsh or confrontational communication

+
+## Reporting
+
+If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other concerns, please report it by contacting the project team. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
