ENS DAO Delegate Applications

šŸ’¬ General Discussion
#581

ENS name: oxide.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: Iā€™ve followed ENS for a long time and have been very impressed by how much the project has contributed to the growth of Ethereum and the formation of the broader crypto communityā€™s views around decentralized applications. ENS provides an invaluable service to the Ethereum ecosystem, and itā€™s place as a public good for all to benefit from is clear. As ENS moves to a DAO structure, Iā€™d like to put myself forward as a delegate. I believe my opinions around the future direction of ENS - maintaining it is a public good, maintaining decentralization and further developing the functionality and integrations of ENS - align with many, or at least some of the stakeholders in ENS.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership is an absolute right: Yes, however, I donā€™t believe that adjusting the fees to register names violates this right so long as the fees are the same for all users. Anyone should be able to register an ENS name provided they can pay the minimal ENS fee + gas.
  • Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: Yes, registration fees are essential to combat squatting and to encourage participants in ENS to use their names productively. We must balance this however with the goal of allowing as many legitimate users as possible to register their names.
  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Yes, income should fund the development and maintenance of ENS. Any excess funds should be accrued to an ENS treasury to ensure a stable financial position for ENS in case of a prolonged market downturn. If there are still funds remaining, ENS should consider funding or donating to projects the build atop ENS or contribute public goods to the Ethereum ecosystem.
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Yes, ENS should, without sacrificing decentralization, integrate with the existing global namespace. ENS could be a useful tool to assist in onboarding legacy/traditional businesses to crypto.

My web3 qualifications / skills: I have experience in Web Dev, and some solidity programming (looking to further my skills here) I do come from a technical / software background so can provide thoughts and opinions on technical matters. I also have experience in Go and Rust programming among others, and distributed systems experience.

ENS name: luckincoffee.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I know ENS is the future. As an early user of ens, I feel responsible to help ENS gain a better and better adoption among the public. For example, talk with various universities, NGOs, and clubs to convince them to use ENS. This is the future and inevitable, what I want to do is to be in the right direction of the history and speed up the process. To be a delegate, I can gain more attention from the public and then educate the market. In the mean time, I can help the clients ENS to get their voiced heard by the DAO.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership is an absolute right: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
  • Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
    We need registration fees to exist, however the rate may subject to change to better fit the current situation (Currently The gas fee is usually much higher than the registration fee; The rate is dependent on the length of the name may need some adjustment, like the occurrence frequency of a word).
  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: (Agree/Disagree/Comment)

My web3 qualifications / skills:

  • I have a technical background. I worked as blockchain developer for OKExChain for 10 month.
  • I am in Radio Caca team taking responsibility for USM Chain/cross-chain cooperation/Coin listing. Radio Caca is a $1 billion NFT/Metaverse project on BSC and Ethereum.
  • I am with A&T Capital, which is a $100 million crypto fund.

**ENS name: otpyrcevolution

**My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: To help further the adoption of the ENS project. ENS will be the new direction for all to use, just like the .com era this is the .ETH error we are early and we see the vision!!!

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership is an absolute right: Agree : This is the absolute right of the individual that registered the name first!!! First come First Serve.

  • Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: Agree : Registration fees help keep the protocol incentivized and secure, this needs to stay in place.

  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree: The income does need to fund the ENS and other projects so that we can continue to evolve and grow the ENS DAO project.

  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree: Having ENS integrate with the global namespace will surely help with the adoption of ENS world wide.

**My web3 qualifications / skills: Been in IT since starting the military in 1999. Communications and been in simulations for the past 12 years, I love crypto and I love projects that are unique in solving problems and that help to evolve and move us forward with technology. I am just a passionate individual that would love to help govern this ENS DAO.

ENS name: onelov.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I fully support all of the concurrent developments that gear toward improving our future usage of the web, assets, trades, etc. I want to continue putting my efforts into staying on top of new implementations and provide support/services that will yield accessibility and satisfaction.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership is an absolute right: Agree. Discrimination doesnā€™t exist here.
  • Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: Agree. If it works.
  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree. As long as itā€™s fair.
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree . And make it better.

My web3 qualifications / skills: solidity, hardhat, and other langs. Dev in NFT platforms

#587

ENS name: Flareon.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: DAOā€™s will help keep transparency the ultimate source of truth, and will help prevent corruption for the reconstruction of the internet, and the largest transfer of wealth and power in human history.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership is an absolute right: Agree, however the concept of country borders always perplexed me. What is different from the dirt in my backyard from the dirt in South America? Was the purpose of this planet to be divided by imaginary lines for purpose of freedom, enslavement or greed? I believe the way that our economy and ecosystems are structured has veered from what is right, best and just to greed. This is an opportunity to get that back, and I am here for it. As for name ownership being an absolute right, there should be a reward/incentive for those genuinely interested and passionate about this from the beginning, not rewarding others strictly because of the size of their pockets.
  • Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: Agree, however depending on oneā€™s current resources it can be seen as pay to play. Example, this process, while it might be righteous and just, can exclude those in areas of the world that do not have computers, internet, clothing or even running water. It is up to us to not ā€˜selloutā€™ to actors with poor intentions, and we do whatā€™s right because itā€™s right. While I am all for providing revenue for the DAO for ongoing development and improvement, others may not be and itā€™s okay to have differing opinions.
  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree. At this moment in time, I believe what is happening is more or less a shift of assets that exist in the overall physical economy to this digital economy. The capital already exists, however rather than spending it on clothing, cars, campaign advertisements, etc, we are building a better, more transparent future. At least, that is the intention/my interpretation of this question. We need to power the vehicle and those that responsibly operate it before it can begin to safely take us to our destination. If we want to make it far, weā€™ll need a fine tuned vehicle and should anticipated to make repairs along the way.
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree. It is one of many ways that one can be identified/differentiated via the internet. We must maintain decentralization at all costs.

My web3 qualifications / skills: I have very little exposure to Solidity and smart contracts, however my professional career is Cloud technology, specifically in Cloud Architecture. I want to be able to manage and deploy blockchain technologies using the Cloud if possible. I also want to learn how to program fluently as a software engineer, with interest in full stack development using Python as a backend.

As I learn and grow as an individual for the sake of others, these responses may change, and I am answering to the best of my knowledge at this moment in time. Iā€™m not trying to be right, Iā€™m trying to learn and understand truth. Thank you.

ENS name : pinbo.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I very much agree with the concept of ENS and the value it brings to users. From a small point of view, it makes the addresses of encrypted currencies easier to remember and transfers more convenient. At the same time, it also laid a solid foundation for cryptocurrency to go mainstream.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

Name ownership is an absolute right: Agree - Permissionless activity and interoperability should be encouraged. Web 3 is driven on the rights and actions of ownership, and I believe ENS domains have created a brand around allowing this to happen.

Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: Agree - From a branding perspective, ENS allows users to utilise their own name and / or username to enable growth in the industry. I also believe that an initial cost could ultimately result in incentivising users to NFT their name, which cause a knock-on effect and profiteering. ENS can therefore earn royalties from this.
Whilst ENS could potentially survive on the brand it creates alone, this allows greater top level margins to focus on internal projects. I have mixed views on the pricing structure for smaller words and this could be revisited.

Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree - I feel this links in the previous point well. Treasury funds which can be distributed and controlled by the ENS and DAO will result in greater buy in and development.

ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree - This is my strongest viewpoint. Itā€™s already clear to see how well ENS has branded itself in the community, through web 2 social handle changes to discord usernames.

My web3 qualifications / skills: -
Proficient in programming and have node.js skills
At the same time, the logic is very clear, and there is a wealth of speech and coordination skills

ENS name: Yalor.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I"m very bullish on ENS after spending plenty of time with @matoken.eth and using it for literally everything in our DAOā€™s, Iā€™m already a participating member of many communities experimenting with this type of governance (Gitcoin, MetaCartel, DAOhaus, RaidGuild, etc etc) so I have extensive experience with the types of proposals and information dissemination needed to get consensus. I would love to contribute to the long term sustainability of the ENS community as well as help make ENS the standard across the world :fire:

ENS name: Str8jakin.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: I think ENS is a great initiative. The application of domain names in the field of digital currency is as convenient as the blockchain. It is as simple and understandable as browsing websites on the Internet, making currency transactions easier. Personal accounts are easier to remember. This migration step will be necessary to ensure mainstream adoption and implementation of various aspects of Web 3.0. The current barrier to entry and risk factor is far to complex for the average user, which is slowing down the adoption curve.

ENS name:: trewkat.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate:
I hope to represent the views of people who may not have a technical background but are still wanting to participate in Web3. I believe ENS DAO has a bright future already but I would like to ensure that the decentralised web continues to be accessible for those who donā€™t fully understand the technology but agree with the principles.
As an information professional I value fairness and equity in relation to information and technology services, and consistently advocate for transparency, interoperability, and clarity in the information environment.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership is an absolute right: (Agree)
  • Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: (Agree)
  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: (Agree)
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: (Agree)

My web3 qualifications / skills:
Iā€™m a member of a few DAOs, including the mighty BanklessDAO.
As mentioned I am an information manager, not a developer, but I have an interest in decentralised ID and interoperable naming services which I see as an extension of the persistent identifiers used in the library and information industry for many years.

PS: I would really like to be a delegate, but I donā€™t have the funds to pay for the gas associated with adding an avatar and the delegate link. That seems a little exclusionary to me and itā€™s the type of thing I am keen to avoid for future governance mechanisms.

ENS name: jiaxihou.eth

My reasons for wanting to be a delegate: Personally I started to use ENS service from the gitcoin donation project this spring. I got much convenience and smooth user experience from this. Also, I have seen the growing need for domain service in web3 from DAOs, influencers, traditional brands and metaverse users. ENS is sure the best native domain project on ETH, and I am thrilled to be part of it.

My view on each section of the proposed ENS Constitution

  • Name ownership is an absolute right: Agree
  • Registration fees exist as an incentive mechanism: Agree
  • Income funds ENS and other public goods: Agree
  • ENS Integrates with the global namespace: Agree

My web3 qualifications / skills:
I am a digital ethnographer with rich experiences on multiple digital platforms, paying particular attention on how marginalized social groups are both reshaping and reshaped by engaging on these commercial platforms. Moreover, I have investigated and am still looking at how subaltern Chinese young people who used to too segregated to build a collective consciousness are now reconnecting with each other through blockchain and innovate in their local context beyond the dominant innovation culture defined either by Silicon Valley or the Chinese state.

I believe contemporary structure of digital capitalism is not a ā€œnaturalā€ outcome of some inert law of technological development and neoliberal market. It reproduces and reinforces the unequal and unsatisfying power dynamics among Internet, capital, and individuals. Therefore, it is necessary to imagine alternative futures where DAO has the potential to revolutionize peopleā€™s sociality and to connect and empower people, especially the disadvantaged ones. To understand how institutions or communities may reconfigure as DAO, I also just started my participant observation on several Chinese ones such as the Unknown DAO. My experiences as an ethnographer and sociologist may be helpful to understand how peopleā€™s agency and the relationship among them may transform on web3.
