ENS DAO Delegate Applications

ENS name: vincenttaglia.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I have been a big fan of ENS since its inception, and I want to see it succeed in its goal of becoming a global public good that is able to fund other public goods from its revenues. But, for that to happen, ENS DAO will need participants that truly believe in that goal. It is for that reason that I would like to participate myself.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership is an absolute right: Absolutely agree.
  • Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: Absolutely agree - ENS is not meant to be a profit maker, but not having any registration fees results in too many bad actors.
  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Absolutely agree - There is a good chance ENS will make a lot more than is needed to run it, so there is no reason to limit public good funding from ENS revenues to ENS alone.
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Absolutely agree - ENS should cleanly integrate with the global TLD namespace and therefore should be careful about new TLDs that may be rugged should ICANN decide to create them in the future.

My web3 qualifications / skills:

  • I have been around the Ethereum ecosystem since mid-to-late 2015.
  • I participated in TheDAO, voting on every proposal that I could.
  • I was the 36,458th ENS domain registered.
  • I am an active indexer of blockchain data for The Graph Protocol.
  • I am a true believer of Ethereum, Web3, and ENS’s vision of being a public good that can also fund other public goods.
