​About Community Calls: Metagov Community Calls are informal discussion-based, peer-learning, or tool play-test calls that can be proposed, hosted, and facilitated by any member of the Metagov community.

​​The format may vary according to whether the call is a group discussion or a tool play-test; however, a standard format might entail a ~10 minute introduction to the topic by the host followed by the group discussion (based on 3-5 questions prepared by the host) or play-test experience.
