Name: Kevin Gaspar (validator.eth)
Quick background for anyone who doesn’t know me. I’ve been a part of Ethereum since the 2014 crowdsale, and my address sits in the genesis block. I’ve been involved in ENS since day one as a user. I served as an original steward on the Community Working Group in the DAO’s first term, and stepped back as the community stepped up. I’ve been an ENS Foundation director since the DAO’s creation in 2021. I’ve worked at ENS Labs on ecosystem/community and support for the past 5 years. Outside of formal roles, I run ENS Fairy, where I’ve registered and given away thousands of .eth names to projects and brands in the name of adoption.
Statement: I’ve read the Security Council Charter, the Appointment Agreement, and the Public Pledge. I affirm the new Security Council mandate and charter and will act only in accordance with them. The cancel power exists for one purpose: stopping malicious governance attacks on the DAO. A passing proposal I disagree with isn’t an attack, and I won’t treat it like one.
Eligibility: I qualify under the professional credentials criterion.
ENS Foundation director since the DAO’s formation in October 2021. More than four years of fiduciary responsibility for the DAO’s legal entity, including carrying out DAO instructions and signing agreements on its behalf.
I am a signer on several multisigs. Key custody, signing discipline, and knowing when not to sign are the operational core of a Security Council seat.
Original Community Working Group steward, first term of 2022.
Confirmation: I have no public statements on record contradicting the affirmation above. If selected, I agree to sign the Appointment Agreement and undergo the KYC and background check. One disclosure for transparency: the Appointment Agreement is executed with the ENS Foundation, where I serve as a director. I’ll recuse myself from the Foundation’s side of executing my own agreement.
