ENS DAO Delegate Applications

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 don’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:
I’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 don’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 it’s the type of thing I am keen to avoid for future governance mechanisms.
