What is the problem that this working group seeks to address?
Despite blockchain oracles being a foundational component in decentralized software ecosystems, general disagreement as to what constitutes a blockchain oracle and how consumers or integrators should interface with their services pervades the Cardano ecosystem.
Purpose / Goals
In order to address the above problem statement, this Intersect working group seeks the following:
To Improve the quality of access to data for Cardano projects and their users
To ascertain the needs of the user(s) of blockchain oracles
To increase the awareness of blockchain oracles and their value
To participate in the narrative around, Cardano native, blockchain oracles
To increase the adoption and integration of blockchain oracle data
Deliverables
The goals of this working group will be me through the following deliverables:
smart contract interfaces (cardano/uplc)
Primary focus on modular consumption of data
Develop best practices for off-chain architecture (e.g. bonding, …)
Requirements
Solution-oriented business needs
Reference Implementation
Need to get prices
Of cardano native tokens
Of real world assets
Of other crypto assets (cross-chain)
(Open) Standard
Best practices

Governance
Rules of order
The working group will utilize the simplified Roberts Rules of Order in order to structure its meetings.Please find the simplified and condesed Roberts Rules of Order in the Oracles WG folder on the OSC Shared Drive.
Membership
During these initial stages of the working group, membership will be simplified to voting and non-voting. At the acceptance of this document, all eligible members will be made voting members, with the following taking effect thereafter.
Non-voting members
All working group meeting attendees who do not meet the eligibility requirements of voting membership.
Voting members
Those who have attended 2 out of any 3 consecutive meetings will be recognized as voting members of this working group.
Attendance will not be credited to an individual representative of a project but to the project itself; this is meant to give projects increased flexibility while maintaining their membership.
Representation
While we encourage projects to invite multiple members of their team to attend these working group meetings, only one representative can participate within the capacity of a voting member. This will ensure that no single project has more influence than others.
Attendance
During the initial stages of this working group, member attendance will be tracked by hand. Preferably within meeting minutes and shared in the Intersect Discord channel.
Quorum
In order to meet quorum, working group meetings must have attendance from a simple majority of voting members. The number of voting members needed will be determined based on the attendance from the previous meeting.

Who is the WG Lead?
The working group lead is a position held by a voting member, which has received both a nomination and vote from a simple majority of voting members. The position may only be held for 1 quarter before another nomination and vote is required.
During these early stages, the position of working group lead should be held by a voting member who is not actively developing a blockchain oracle.
