• [Funding the Commons (FtC) Tokyo Preparation in Japan](https://scrapbox.io/tkgshn/Funding the Commons（FtC）Tokyo 日本開催に向けて)

• A Rich 2-Day Event Paving the Future of Digital Public Goods - Funding the Commons Tokyo 2024 | Hal Seki

• Contemplating whether to attend:

  • If you’re a student, you can apply for a scholarship here to attend for free.
  • Oh, I didn’t know that (takker).

• I don’t feel like this event is a perfect fit for me.

  • I haven’t been particularly interested or passionate about funding [Public Goods].

• Well, in a context like [202312 Life Consideration: Business vs Research], I do feel it could be relevant to me in the future.

• The discussions will probably be interesting, and I might attend to broaden my horizons.

  • I want to make sure to prepare adequately.

• Proceeding with registration.

  • If you are applying for a ticket scholarship, please tell us your reason for requesting this ticket tier in order to be considered for approval.

    • What should I write?
    • Well, maybe I’ll write about the value/contribution I can bring by participating.
  •

• Funding for science research to be more dynamic.
• What does dynamic mean? Being agile and flexible, projects that don’t pass review will disappear.
• QF
  • Starting from small experiments.
• Infrastructure vs. nature.
• Governance vs. execution.
  • Not very clear about the former. Deciding whether to make decisions beyond precedent or just execute as usual.
• Link to website
  • Not just a QF, they have set upper and lower limits.
  • Using [SDGs] as the definition of public goods.
    • It’s convenient to use as a consensus for “good things.”
• Future of the government.
  • It’s better to have retrospective funding based on gaining people’s support, rather than just government relationships.
    • Constraints are defined by relationships with people, not the government (blu3mo).

Plurality is more like a toolkit than a single solution.
