Round 2 / Fil Implementers WG

This working group is important for the network to upgrade and resolve chain needs. It creates an important communication bridge for network' protocol implementation teams and the teams creating core dependencies that these implementations use (e.g., proofs). The working group is a forcing function to pay attention to and be mindful of what other implementation teams are up to, and solves the pain points of getting alignment and collaboration decisions made quicker towards network's upgrade trajectory and base blockchain capability needs.
When at its best, the working group causes teams to look at the bigger picture and see how they can coordinate with the larger network of teams to deliver network-wide changes. For example, with NI PoRep, one team did the research and protocol design work and write the the FIP, another did the early prototype, and another took on the shared conformance test suite.
