### OpenSquare Team and SIMA Spec

- **OpenSquare Team**: Works on infrastructure in the Dotsama ecosystem, developing products like Subsquare, Dotreasury, and Statescan.
- **Current Issues**: Governance discussions happen on centralized platforms like Polkassembly and Subsquare, leading to problems like data verification, accessibility, auditability, and reliance on single platforms.
- **SIMA Spec**: A proposed solution to decentralize off-chain governance data by defining user actions and data standards.
- **How SIMA Works**: Users sign their actions with Polkadot keys and submit the data to spec implementers, who then submit the data's IPFS CID to the blockchain.
- **Benefits**: Ensures data verification, accessibility, and auditability, reducing reliance on single platforms.
- **Status**: SIMA is in draft form and welcomes community feedback. Development will start once there's community consensus on its feasibility.
