OpenGov, enabling an even more decentralized governance on the network, has been enacted on Kusama after Referendum 244 was passed, upgrading the runtime to v9320. OpenGov removes the “first-class citizens” of the Council and Technical Committee, replacing them with a new Fellowship to enable much broader participation in the governance process.
OpenGov allows every decision in the network to be made as a result of referenda tabled by the community - and for the first time multiple referenda can run simultaneously, enabling more motions to be passed more quickly. To enable the smooth adoption of OpenGov, the Collectives parachain has launched on Polkadot. This provides a home for the Fellowship among numerous other “common-good” collectives.
Initially referred to as Gov2 when outlined by Gavin Wood at Polkadot Decoded earlier this year, OpenGov is also projected to go live on Polkadot in due course. To learn more: https://kusa.ma/cBdYV
