Dear Polkadot community,

With the launch of OpenGov on Polkadot around the corner, we plan to use the knowledge and skills we have gained from Kusama OpenGov to help kick-start Polkadot's OpenGov. Our main goal hasn't changed: we want to make the governance proposals process within the Polkadot community better, more open, and more successful. 
This proposal outlines our plan to bring our successful proposal auditing process, first started on the Kusama Network, to the Polkadot Network. It builds on the work of the OpenCommunity Governance project, which has been running on the Kusama network for the past five months. In this period we delivered 80+ Audit reports on Kusama OpenGov treasury proposals.

**Problem**

With the launch of OpenGon on Kusama, it became apparent that proposals are not very well structured, lack information, and include budgets that seem very hard to defend. Proposals can also be very diverse with a focus on different areas that not everyone can be familiar with. For all these reasons it is significantly time-consuming for voters to truly understand the proposal and cast an educated vote on it. 

A significant challenge in the current proposal evaluation process is the lack of constructive feedback during the discussion phase. To address this, appointed auditors will focus on being more involved in the earlier phases of proposal development. This proactive approach will help proposers receive feedback and address potential weaknesses in their proposals before they are submitted onchain, giving them time to evaluate the feedback and make improvements.

**Milestone 0:  Prepare OpenCommunity Governance documentation**

Milestone 0 focuses on adjusting the governance documents currently used in the Kusama network to align with the needs of the Polkadot ecosystem. This involves adjusting the Proposal and Audit templates, updating necessary documents on treasury sites, wiki, and GitHub, and initiating the audit process to improve the quality and transparency of incoming proposals with the set standards and guidelines.

**Milestone 1: Implement OpenCommunity Governance**

In Milestone 1, the primary objective is to start proposal audits while they are still in the discussion phase and follow up the proposals onchain.

A major challenge in the current proposal evaluation process is the lack of constructive feedback during the discussion phase. To address this, appointed auditors will shift their focus by becoming more involved in the earlier phases of proposal development. This proactive approach will help proposers receive feedback and address potential weaknesses in their proposals before they are submitted onchain, ultimately improving the overall quality of submissions.

**Funding**
This proposal seeks funding of 2179.57 DOT split into 2 payments between auditors CoinStudio and Abdulbee.

All the documents, previous treasury proposals, deliverables and reports, audits are stored on our [GitHub](https://github.com/CoinStudioDOT/OpenGov/tree/main). We are also maintaining track records of auditor work and treasury proposals on the draft version of [Airtable](https://airtable.com/shr18QFRHOkoBgXxz).

We are community oriented initiative and we are open to onboard additional auditors from the community, more details can be found in the following [Kusama proposal.](https://github.com/CoinStudioDOT/OpenGov/blob/41368aa8ba47712ee0b655beffc22c3788f29c4e/Documents/Kusama%20Ref%20%2367%20-%20Governance%202.0%20Referenda%20Audits%20extension.pdf)

I am looking for feedback on this proposal so please feel free to ask questions and leave suggestions to help me further improve the presented project.  Your suggestions will play a key role in enhancing the transparency and efficiency of our governance process.

Thank you!

Send a batch of dispatch calls and atomically execute them.
The whole transaction will rollback and fail if any of the calls failed.

May be called from any origin except `None`.

- `calls`: The calls to be dispatched from the same origin. The number of call must not
  exceed the constant: `batched_calls_limit` (available in constant metadata).

If origin is root then the calls are dispatched without checking origin filter. (This
includes bypassing `frame_system::Config::BaseCallFilter`).

## Complexity
- O(C) where C is the number of calls to be batched.

Problem Statement:
- The current proposal evaluation process in the Polkadot community is time-consuming and lacks structure, information, and constructive feedback, making it difficult for voters to understand and make educated decisions on proposals.

Significance:
- Implementing an OpenCommunity Governance process will improve the quality, transparency, and success rate of proposals in the Polkadot Network.
- The proactive approach of providing feedback to proposers during the discussion phase will help address weaknesses and improve the overall quality of submissions.

Proposed Solution:
- Milestone 0: Prepare OpenCommunity Governance documentation by adjusting governance documents, templates, and updating necessary documents on treasury sites, wiki, and GitHub.
- Milestone 1: Implement OpenCommunity Governance by starting proposal audits during the discussion phase and following up onchain.

Expected Outcomes:
- Improved quality and transparency of incoming proposals.
- Increased efficiency and effectiveness of the proposal evaluation process.
- Enhanced transparency and efficiency of the governance process in the Polkadot community.
