ENS DAO Delegate Applications

ENS name: awe.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I’m passionate about crypto. I’ve been in the space for many years and I want to be on top of the next trends. I’m very bullish on Ethereum being the de facto web3 blockchain and obviously ENS will control the domain infrastructure. I feel like I’m uniquely position because I understand web3 technology more than the average user and have implemented RFC specs on the engineering side. I have a strong background in software engineering.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

Name ownership is an absolute right: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)

Disagree. I think we would explore a better name ownership and revenue model that is fair to all parties. I don’t think being a first mover should give you absolute rights.

Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)

Agree. ENS is a SaaS product and typically reoccurring revenue has been proven to be a successful model for SaaS product. I am opened to exploring additional incentives.

Income funds ENS and other public goods: (Agree/Disagree/Comment).

Agree. Although I could be convinced private entities could be worth pursuing if it’s highly beneficial for ENS.

ENS Integrates with the global namespace: (Agree/Disagree/Comment):
Agree. This would be awesome for everyone involved with this project.
