ENS DAO Delegate Applications

ENS Name: capitulation.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I’m doing this as a governance experiment. My aim is to be chosen by ANT holders and receive the respective delegation of the ENS tokens that the Aragon Association will receive as a result of it’s adoption of ENS. If elected I will serve as a direct proxy and vote as per the will expressed by ANT holders in a mirrored vote. Ultimately my goal will be to be replaced by a direct vote execution.
In the unlikely event that I perceive the expressed will of ANT holders to go against my personal values I reserve the right to “rage quit” in which case ANT holders shall choose a new delegate from the long list of extremely capable delegates.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership shall not be infringed: Agree
  • Fees are primarily an incentive mechanism: Agree
  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree

My web3 qualifications / skills: Building the Ecosystem at Aragon (come build cool DAO tools at hackforfreedom(dot)org ). I am an active experimenter in web3 (DegenScore 440+, Level 6 Rabbithole scholar, How to DAO alumni, Kernel applicant), sporadic supporter of public goods (clr.fund, Gitcoin grants, Giveth, MoonshotBots, RainbowRolls) and lurker in many great communities (FWB, Bankless, ForeFront, DAO Masters, TEC). Last but not least during the 2018/2019 bear market I created from scratch a $5m (annualized revenue) business for one of the high profile crypto lenders.
