potentially we need to update our Governance Process Glossary section, with a clear explicit definitions: of Delegate and Listed Delegate
the only section we have about that is:
Delegation : ENS holders cannot vote or create proposals until they delegate their voting rights to an address. Delegation can be given to one address at a time, including the holderās own address. Note that delegation does not lock tokens; it simply adds votes to the chosen delegation address
The ENS DAO Delegate Applications with its terminology gives a false impression that ENS Delegate is the ones who filled the application -Only-, while in fact any address with ENS voting rights -even 1- is an ENS Delegate and will be castVoteBySig at ensdao.eth EPs but not -and despite the fact that not- every ENS Delegate is a Listed Delegate at claim.ens.domains
Apparently, my delegate application, filed shortly after the airdrop, as a āListed Delegateā was denied. What are the objective criteria or is it solely a subjective process? How can one be reconsidered for being listed or am I doomed to be a second-class delegate?
The only posts we deleted were those that were unrelated (Eg, werenāt delegate applications), or were direct copy-pastes of other applications. I donāt see any deleted posts by you on that thread.
Why does the ENS Foundation Director position need to be elected by the DAO?
Specially, this current DAO.
This DAO reacted exactly the opposite I would expect from a DAO controlling what we claim to be the foundation of Ethereum Web3. I would not trust voting on perhaps the most important position just below the founders of this project to this current DAO.
No one knows more about the qualifications required for this position other than Nick and Brantly. I would suggest letting the core devs (not the DAO Delegates) decide on an interim (or even permanent) candidate. Otherwise, we risk selecting a candidate that does not meet the qualifications and one that may decide to step down (or even get replaced) making the ENS DAO a complete joke in the eyes of the community. Once again.
The ENS Foundationās Articles of Incorporation give significant powers to the ENS DAO (referred to as āThe Councilā in the Articles). The DAO may vote to:
Appoint or remove a director, member, or supervisor.
Prohibit admitting any members in future.
Instruct the directors to wind up the foundation, and specify what charity or other foundation should receive the foundationās assets.
The key word is āmayā thus I brought the question. But I suppose at this point the Foundation has accepted to Move for a Dao Appointment.
My follow up question is, does the ENS community feel like the current DAO can successfully find a replacement for this position?
I would want to discourage the selection of @inplco for this position. My reasons for opposing his nomination are as follows:
inplco played an extremely active and partisan role in herding community opinion during the original incident. While I appreciate that active and involved community discussion is necessary for the governance process, I personally felt his contributions to be too partisan, inflammatory, and coercive (not allowing room for doubt/responding aggressively to anyone expressing doubts about his opinions/appealing to emotions, incredulity, authority/urging immediate action and aggravation).
My perceptions of his conduct can be subjective and i acknowledge that. So, I can understand if my above reservations are discarded. However, his public/partisan involvement (regardless of my views on its propriety) raises an important issue about the conflict of interest in this situation. As one of the most visible proponents for Brantlyās removal. His subsequent selection as Brantlyās replacement would set up an extremely questionable precedent and cast doubt on the motivations of anyone engaging in community accountability in the future.
My suggestion would be to stay away from candidates who can be perceived to have been too partisan in this issue. @AvsA would make an excellent candidate in my opinion. I am pretty new to the ENS ecosystem so I wasnāt sure if I knew enough to make a good choice, but Iām happy to see that many have nominated him already.
I agree with this. If I was a bystander, Iāll say the exact same thing and for good reason. I am sure no one sees me as a serious candidate against avsa.eth but I am here to represent not to win. (I have been told that I am a serious candidate ). Anyway, I hope it will encourage outsiders to play active role in governance and encourage DAO onboarding.
I think anyone will show up in the claim app. @berrios.eth is probably talking about his delegate application here on Discourse so he could be listed as a Delegate. I am pretty sure he was mistakenly overlooked since that application list is probably parsed by hand.
On the side note, this is another loophole that needs plugging:
The ādelegateā badge is assigned automatically based on whether the associated account has any votes delegated to it. @berrios.eth If you at least delegate your own votes to yourself, I can update your status in the forum.
@berrios.eth Can you add the links to the nominations thread and the EP6 proposal in the text of the post? Similar to how nick has linked this thread in the nominations post. Itāll be useful for people to go back and forth easily instead of getting confused
Aah that make sense, I noticed ādelegateā beside my name here before being Listed Delegate or any applicationā¦
how discourse system know user == .eth address? arenāt we subject to impersonation attack? That if someone created a new user and call Binance.eth or Coinbase.eth this would create a lot of confusion and noise around contraversial EP election/voting time!
I strongly disagree with a any broad subjective qualification for a candidates of elective position, I mean exactly the candidation process what we are discussing now, and it should be as as little subjectivity as possible (or Non) and that for longevity, furthermore history full of controversial figures who still found huge success and progressed humanity think Jobs, nikola tesla, lady gaga, obama, Muhammad Ali, or Trump!!
The āRequest Accessā form asks for a userās ENS name, from which we look up their delegated votes. It would be possible to use someone elseās name there - but itās equally possible to just buy one ENS token and self-delegate it to get the same result.
I was going to switch to healingvisions.eth right before this Brantely situation occurred I have a day job for a global Realestate firm. I paint from 2a to 3a in the morning. I am also a founder of the UltraDAO. I bought 10 years of healingvisions.eth. I have 5 Regional Managers and 100s of Community Managers who have 5-20 direct reports. Leasing Consultants, Assistant Mangers, etc.
Nick asked me for my CV but I dropped out because I accepted a COO at another web3 company. I was passionate about ENS, but with everything that transpired. I canāt say that I am anymore. You are right to have your questions, but you can see I am in web3 you can see I was part of UltraDAO and on the Core team of Woodies that made millions in 1 day. I apologize for the late response but I have been focused on supporting people in the Ukraine.
I am not doxxed so I canāt give you proof. I was going to give it to Nick, but the point is moot now. I do strongly urge you all to remove Brantely and find a director candiate that is passionate abour inclusion.
There are plenty of minorities in web3 (women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA, that would be incredible) find them. Encourage them. They will make a difference for ENS.
). Anyway, I hope it will encourage outsiders to play active role in governance and encourage DAO onboarding.
